zint barcode module on LMTX/MacOS

zint barcode module on LMTX/MacOS

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Hi again,

the LMTX zint module uses libzint, while MkIV calls the zint binary.
The latter works for me, the first not.


On MacOS, the library is "/opt/local/lib/libzint.dylib"*.
I changed that in the source and the file appears to be found.
Could you add that, Hans?


*) Previously, zint for MacOS was only available via HomeBrew; I don’t know where that would install libzint, probably in /usr/local/lib/ like on Linux. Yesterday a MacPorts port was added that I used; MacPorts install everything under /opt/.


But then still zintlib.execute returns nothing.

I wonder if this works on Windows?
The API docs don’t mention an "execute" function.

From libraries-mkiv:

    It is best to keep libraries in a place where you can keep an eye on
    them being updated, like

         c:/data/tex-context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/lib/luametatex/foo/libfoo.dll

    You could of course use the ones provided by the system or maybe use
    symbolic links so that you still keep en eye on changes.

On Linux I get:

    resolvers       > libraries > library 'libzint' resolved via 'tds lib' path to '/home/michal/src/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.so'

where the file is a copy of the system library. You probably need a
similar setup (but you should prefer symlink), also with a ".so"
extension as that's what ConTeXt uses on non Windows systems.

In libs-ini.lua essentially three ways are tried:

1) TDS search, thats what I used above
2) PATH search (but this will try paths like "/usr/local/bin" not
"/usr/local/lib").
3) Current directory

Copying the library file as I did is probably not the best idea in
general, since the library can have dependencies (zint requires libpng
which in turn needs zlib) and those get loaded from the system paths
anyways:


     28099:	file=/home/michal/src/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.so [0];  dynamically loaded by /home/michal/src/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex [0]
     28099:	file=libpng16.so.16 [0];  needed by /home/michal/src/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.so [0]
     28099:	file=libz.so.1 [0];  needed by /usr/lib/libpng16.so.16 [0]

and one would want to ensure ABI compatibility. But then again, same
issue applies to the luametatex -> optional library ABI.

I can confirm this as well.

"execute" should be a function defined in LuaMetaTeX, that internally
calls zint functions.

Oh, yes, I should still know that from mujs. Works with a symlink.
I.e. no need to change that in the module.

Hm, ok, but where are the zint API calls defined?

Sorry, do you mean what zint functions luametatex calls to implement
"execute"? Then I don't know. And a quick reverse engineering try didn't
turn up anything either.

does

context libs-imp-zint.mkxl

produce something?

Empty page (empty content stream) and Crop/Media/TrimBox is
[ 0 0 7.790488 103.5872 ].

The line:

	local result = zintlib_execute(specification)

returns false each time.

it took me a while to figure it out on a linux box but the following 
nbeeds to be changed in the texmfcnf.lua file:


             CLUAINPUTS      = ".;$SELFAUTOLOC/lib/$engine//",

kind of subtle ... so no lua path in there (one needs to run mtxrun 
--genenate after changing this)

(it went unnoticed because i have that in my texmf-local tree and as i 
had patched some files when testing an update i did was fooled by newer 
timestamps so i ended up in the wrong cache)

anyway, zint works on linux (one needs to copy the file to the 
texm-platform tree and get rid of the version number in the name; long 
ago i dealt with that so maybe i need to reintroduce that ugly hackery 
again; installing zint in linux didn't create a simple .so link) so ... 
i've added some error messages in the process (so that "result, message 
= ..." can handle it) but no upload yet

when it works, you will see some mp magick kicking in (becvause we use 
the vectorized output) ... if you are bored you can try to make a simple 
cmake file for compiling zint (i couldn't compile because of some 
depedencies, i.e. gcc not found by cmake; we don't need all that qt 
stuff anyway but i didn't want to waste time on that now)

I changed it in texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua as well as in texmf-context/web2c/contextcnf.lua and generated a few times – no change, the PDF is still empty.

There’s no other texmfcnf.lua in my trees.

I followed you instructions and got zint running with MacPorts:

Zint version 2.10.0

And it looks like LMTX finds it:

but I don’t get the barcodes.

When I use the —luatex switch I get a draft box and the following message:

  
name: zint-isbn-
fe90eda0e93cf020312a79b2c1b0201b.eps

     file: zint-isbn-
fe90eda0e93cf020312a79b2c1b0201b.eps

      state: unknown


Shouldn’t it generate pdf?

Do I need an rc file?

This is on MacOS 10.13.

Greetings
Axel

I just checked on my Linux laptop with a new installation, and it worked exactly like this.

Did you check with --luatex (i.e. MkIV)?

What’s your ConTeXt version? You left out this essential piece of information.
