A CGI binary for generating QR Codes. Put this on your webserver, point your browser to it, drag the bookmarklet into your bookmarks bar, and create QR codes for the page you're currently browsing by clicking the bookmarklet (handy for transferring links to your smartphone to continue browsing a page on the go).
Because it is written in C++, it is fast and very light on resources.
- A C++11-compatible compiler
- LibQREncode:
libqrencode(Homebrew),libqrencode-dev(Debian Wheezy) - LibPNG:
libpng(Homebrew),libpng12-dev(Debian Wheezy)
To build, run
scons
You can pass optional build flags via the command line, or put them in config.py:
scons optimize=1 debug=0
I only tested building on Debian Wheezy and Mac OS X (Mavericks). If
you have a different setup, edit the SConscript file to reflect these.
After building, put qr.cgi somewhere on your webserver, and make sure it is executable.
For Apache, putting the following in a .htaccess dir with the qr.cgi script should work
(assuming the right permissions to override):
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex qr.cgi
On nginx with fcgiwrap, the following should work:
location /path/to/qrcgi {
index qr.cgi;
location = /path/to/qrcgi {
gzip off;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Point your browser to http://your.server.com/path/to/qrcgi/.
This will show a page with a link to a bookmarklet. Drag this bookmarklet into your bookmarks,
and click it when on a page you want to generate a QR code for.
