Hans updated ConTeXt to account for 2.12.0 already in April, so it
should work, but maybe there is some subtle error (like there was when
we upgraded to 2.11).
Unfortunately I am unable to take a closer look until the end of the
month. In the meantime can you please try to compile the library
yourself? Here are the instructions:
https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex-optional-libraries
I.e. on Linux (please adjust for macOS):
git clone --recursive
https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex-optional-libraries.git
cd luametatex-optional-libraries
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j4
cp build/libzint.so
/path/to/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/lib/luametatex/libs/libzint.so
The repository is still based on zint 2.11, I will update it to 2.12
after I confirm that it works.
