You have Hombrew installed in a non-standard location. Mine is in
/usr/local/Cellar with the executables linked into /usr/local/bin.
But, assuming other Homebrew commands work when run from Terminal then you
might still be okay.

"Yes" to creating the path but "no" to copying. Create a symbolic link instead.
So, in Terminal:
$ cd $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
# In my case I used the following:
$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so
# For you with Homebrew in a different location, try:
$ ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so
Then steps 4 and 5 as below. I ran the MWE below: the ISBN worked, the ISBNX
didn't, the QR code did. This is on Monterey.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up zint on a mac with macOS Montery Version 12.3.1
On my macOS High Sierra your MWE works fine. Although I remember that
I didn't use Homebrew, but had to build zint manually.
>From log:
optional > using library
'/Users/monty/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.so'
Here it is enough that
libzint.so be a link:
libzint.so -> /usr/local/lib/libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib
Delete the texmf-cache and run ./mtxrun --generate again, once you've
made this link (or copied libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib to
$TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex /zint/libzint.so)

PD.- Does zint-qt work well?

[NTG-context] Setting up zint on a mac with macOS Montery Version 12.3.1
Hi All
I have been struggling today trying to setup and use the Barcode module
zint in ConTeXt and failed. I have followed the instructions on the wiki
( https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes ) but with some changes as
follows. Which maybe why I failed.
1) I downloaded Zint using Homebrew since I'm using macOS, and installed
it according to the instructions.
2) Since I'm using LMTX I looked for the file libzint.dylib and found it
in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib . This is different from the
path given on the wiki. The directory contained three files, two of
which were aliases, libzint.2.10.dylib and libzint.dylib, and an exe
file libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib
3) I created the path $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
and copied libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib into but replaced dylib with 'so' as
suggested on the wiki instructions. So I basically added
lib/luametatex/zint to texmf-osx-64/bin .
4) I ran mtxrun --generate to update the database.
5) I ran the MWE below but no barcode appeared. The console output shows:
/modules > using user prefixed file 'libs-imp-zint'/
//
/modules > 'zint' is loaded/
however further down the output it gives:
/optional > unable to locate library 'libzint'/
//
I have tried renaming libzint2.10.0.0.so to libzint.so, but still no
barcode. Is their something I am missing? Tips or hints appreciated.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay

Re: [NTG-context] TeXworks on Linux
Hi Willi! Le 9/04/2022 à 21:52, Willi Egger via ntg-context a écrit : Good evening! Currently I am trying to test different editors on a Linux-box. — Tonight I installed TeXworks. Now I wanted to change the editor to use ConTeXt LMTX. I added in the tab “typesetting" the path to the executables in the TeX tree. Then I added funder editing the processing tools following the Wiki as a programme mtxrun and as parameters —script context $fullname. After restarting the application I get the error: “unknown script ‘mtx-base.lua' or ‘mtx-mtx-base.lua’” My question is, is there a user out there who knows how to fix this? Kind regards Willi I have an old computer under Linux 18.04 In TeXworks/Edit/Preferences/Typesetting I have an entry for ConTeXt lmtx: path: /usr/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /bin /usr/games /home/alain/context-lmtx/bin /home/alain/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux/bin /usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/i386-linux Most of the path is automatically created when installing TeXworks. You should perhaps take care that the paths for context-lmtx is "before the one for texlive, if you have it. Now for the definition for the program: name: Context (which will appear in the drop-down menu program: context parameters: --synctex (which is not fonctionnal) $fullname That'all! I hope it will help.
