Prerequisites for building zint
-------------------------------
Prerequisites are git, cmake, make, gcc and gcc-c++, e.g. Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install git cmake build-essential
or Fedora (git, make and gcc should already be installed)
sudo dnf install cmake gcc-c++
libpng is optional but necessary for PNG support, e.g. Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install libpng-dev
or Fedora
sudo dnf install libpng-devel
Prerequisites for building zint-qt
----------------------------------
Sign up and download the Qt Maintenance Tool from
https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer
On Ubuntu/Debian you may need to install xinerama to run the tool:
sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0
Launch the tool and install the "Desktop gcc 64-bit" component for either Qt
5.15.2 or Qt 6 (>= 6.1).
Once Qt is installed you may need to tell CMake where it is:
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<qt-version-dir>/gcc_64
e.g. export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64
To build zint-qt you also need to install mesa (for OpenGL), e.g. Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
or Fedora
sudo dnf install mesa-libGL mesa-libGL-devel
Build
-----
The rest is standard CMake
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/zint/code zint
cd zint
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
CMake options
-------------
A number of options are available:
ZINT_COVERAGE:BOOL=OFF # Set code coverage flags
ZINT_DEBUG:BOOL=OFF # Set debug compile flags
ZINT_NOOPT:BOOL=OFF # Set no optimize compile flags
ZINT_SANITIZE:BOOL=OFF # Set sanitize compile/link flags
ZINT_STATIC:BOOL=OFF # Build static library
ZINT_TEST:BOOL=ON # Set test compile flag
ZINT_USE_PNG:BOOL=ON # Build with PNG support
ZINT_USE_QT:BOOL=ON # Build with Qt support
For details on ZINT_TEST and building the zint test suite, see
"backend/tests/README".
