Full documentation is included in the 'docs' directory. The libzint back end code is included
|
|
in the 'backend' directory, and the front end command line program 'zint' is included in the
|
|
'frontend' directory. See the HTML documentation for full installation instructions. The file
|
|
DEVELOPERS in the backend folder gives a brief guide to which symbologies are handled by which
|
|
source code files.

SUPPORT ZINT
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The Zint project is committed to providing the open source community with encoding software for
|
|
all public domain barcode standards. For this we need access to the standard documentation and,
|
|
unfortunately, this is not free. Your donation will contribute towards the purchase of standard documents
|
|
from ANSI. Standards which we hope to add to Zint in this way include Aztec Mesas, Code 49,
|
|
Supercode, Code One and many others.
|
|

QT FRONT END
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This package includes a Qt4 GUI front end. This feature is still under development but if you would
|
|
like to give it a try then here is how to get to it: You will need Qt4 and cmake to compile the code.
|
|
cd to the folder that contains this README file then...
|
|
|
|
mkdir 'build'
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make -j2
|
|
|
|
This will make libzint library and a Qt specific version of the library. To install these do the following
|
|
as root:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
You can then execute the Qt front end with
|
|
|
|
./frontend_qt4/QZint_frontend
|
|

THINGS TO DO
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in expanding the functionality of this library then here are a few
|
|
things which you may like to attempt:
|
|
|
|
Frontend
|
|
--------
|
|
The Qt front end needs a lot of work. It needs to be able to:
|
|
* Show barcode images properly
|
|
* Allow saving of generated barcodes to file
|
|
* Allow copying of generated barcodes to the clipboard
|
|
|
|
Packaging
|
|
---------
|
|
Binary packages are needed for distribution in the following formats
|
|
* RPMs for various Linux distros
|
|
* DEB package for Debian
|
|
* Install binaries for MS Windows
|
|
* Install binaries for Mac OSX
|
|
|
|
Translations
|
|
------------
|
|
Documentation is currently only in English. If you have the knowledge and the
|
|
time please consider translating into other languages.
|
|
|
|
Research
|
|
--------
|
|
The following standards would be welcomed in Zint but the full documentation has
|
|
not yet been found.
|
|
* DPD Code
|
|
* Italian Postal Code
|
|
|
|
Coming Soon
|
|
-----------
|
|
Features which it is hoped will appear in this library soon:
|
|
* Extended Channel Interpretations
|
|
* Code 49
|
|
* Code One |
