zint/win32

Visual Studio 2017 - library and zint.exe

-----------------------------------------



To build the zint library DLL and the command line tool "zint.exe" with PNG support:



Install git (https://git-scm.com/downloads)

Install cmake (https://cmake.org/download/)



Open a "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017" (should be available under the

"Visual Studio 2017" tab in the Start menu).



Make sure git and cmake are in your PATH, e.g. (your paths may differ)



  set PATH="C:\Program Files\Git\cmd";%PATH%

  set PATH="C:\Program Files\CMake\bin";%PATH%



Download zint, zlib and libpng by going to the directory you want to clone them

into:



  cd <project-directory>



and cloning each:



  git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/zint/code zint

  git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/libpng/code lpng

  git clone https://github.com/madler/zlib.git zlib



First build zlib:



  cd zlib



  nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc LOC="-DASMV -DASMINF=" OBJA="inffas32.obj match686.obj"



  cd ..



and then lpng:



  cd lpng



  cmake -G"Visual Studio 15 2017"^

        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release^

        -DPNG_BUILD_ZLIB=ON^

        -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS=..\zlib^

        -DPNG_STATIC=ON^

        -DPNG_SHARED=OFF^

        -H.^

        -Bbuild



  cmake --build build --config Release



  cd ..



If you now open "<project-directory>\zint\win32\zint.sln" with Visual Studio

2017, you should be able to build both the Release and Debug configurations.

Visual Studio 2015

------------------



The solution and project files for Visual Studio 2015 have been moved to the

sub-directory vs2015 and are no longer maintained. However by copying the steps

above and adapting the settings from the Visual Studio 2017 project files (and

adding any sources missing), they should be pretty serviceable.
