[NTG-context] Re: zint 2.12.0 barcode generator

2023-08-21 Thread Keith McKay 
Apologies. I realised late last night that I had forgotten to update the 
paths zint in my shell and after doing that this morning all now works.


Apologies again.

Thanks for the help.

Hi all,

I've updated the zint barcode generator on my mac mini to 2.12.0 and now no 
barcode is produced. I have this vague recollection that it is only the 2.10.0 
version of zint which works in ConTeXt. If I am correct, is ConTeXt likely to 
be updated so that 2.12.0 works?  I originally installed zint with Homebrew. 
There is a very complicated thread on stackoverflow on how to downgrade to 
previous versions of a formula in homebrew, but it is far too complicated for 
my wee brain.

zint 2.12.0 works for me on an x64 Mac mini using ConTeXt ver: 2023.08.10 02:59

Following the instructions here 

1) I had to create the path $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
2) I symbolic linked directly to the homebrew created libzint library

$ cd $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.12.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so

3) Then
$ cd ~
$ mtxrun --generate

4) and the sample file

\usemodule[zint]
\starttext
\barcode[alternative=isbnx, text=9783865419026, width=4cm]
\stoptext

produced a barcode.

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.
