Please note that 0.97 has a bug in PCL generation, please get the latest CVS snapshot at ftp://ar.linux.it/pub/barcode/barcode-latest /alessandro, finally working on barcode to get a new release out on Fri From rubini@gnu.org Wed Feb 27 14:22:54 2002 From: rubini@gnu.org (Alessandro Rubini) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 15:22:54 +0100 Subject: [barcode] (no subject) In-Reply-To: <3C30D4F4@ntserver-e2w2.tcd.ie> References: <3C30D4F4@ntserver-e2w2.tcd.ie> Message-ID: <20020227152254.A1761@morgana.systemy.it> context is http://www.onefour.net/barcode/SVG/barcode097-SVG.tar.gz > I've added the General GNU licence to the source files.

Adding to the library means adding the necessary flags and hooks, and possibly updating the documentation. If you can do that and please send me patch files (diff -u ), it would be great. Otherwise I'll do it, but not for this release for lack of time (I'll still add your stuff in the "contrib" directory). > I didn't do it for fear that you work reworking the library. Incorporating patches is not a problem, usually conflicts are easily resolved by hand. /alessandro From sten@ship.ie Wed Feb 27 15:05:52 2002 From: sten@ship.ie (Sten =?iso-8859-1?Q?Bj=F6rsell?=) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 15:05:52 +0000 Subject: [barcode] Porting to windows Message-ID: <3C7CF5D0.5B5CE2F0@ship.ie> Hi, We have a setup where the barcode works fine like this: The original (free BSD code) plus C program set up under Unix to generate barcodes on a printer. Then this was moved to another Unix machine, a file server, for mostly windows machines The a dialogue interface was made where the windows machines can get a bar-code menu up and print barcodes locally, where the execution of the program takes place at the server. Problem: Is there any way to get this running on a stand alone standard PC running under windows?

Well, assuming there's someone crazy enough _wanting_ to run it on windows ;), there are lot of possibilities. One is to run GNU/Linux or some other good operating system inside windows using VMware, other is to use Cygwin [http://www.redhat.com, I believe] which should allow porting Barcode easily to windows (probably just by recompiling--haven't tried though). Porting Barcode to run on windows without any extra packages shouldn't be too difficult either, if one can just work around the lacking features and tools of the OS.

Also, I don't think all experts in generic barcode issues are here (someone else exists, I suspect :) Tukka Toivonen gives the right answer. Moreover, the README says: The MS-Windows port is maintained at: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/barcode.htm To my knowledge this is a cygwin recompilation without significant changes. But, again, you refer to other code, it seems. /alessandro
