barcode-ui

A simple GUI to libbarcode. Generates barcodes in PostScript.

Requirements

  • Built with clang on Unix-compatible systems, MSVC on Windows
  • libbarcode

Windows

GTK binaries and headers are provided with the project.

Unix-compatible systems

  • GTK+ 3.24.7 or higher
  • pkg-config
  • GNU Make
  • Valgrind for debugging (optional)

Development

Unix-compatible systems

Run make dev in the root directory. This will clone and build libbarcode and copy header files to include/. Build with make ui main.

Windows

Run .\windev.bat in the root directory to get started. Run .\winbuild.bat to build the project.

On Windows systems, there are two target architectures available: x86 or x64. The default architecture is set to x86 (see TARGET in winbuild.bat). The resulting executable is written to bin\<architecture>\barcode.exe.

To produce an archive for distribution, run .\release.bat. This produces a distributable zip archive located in release\barcode.zip.
