Linking with the Encoder

The precise syntax for linking with the encoder varies from compiler to compiler. Refer to your compiler's documentation for linking with static libraries. NOTE: The PDF417 encoder is shipped as a static link library, not as a shared library.

A makefile (makesam.umf) has been provided in the pdf417/sample directory for compiling and linking the sample C program. NOTE: This makefile assumes that the standard

UNIX C compiler (cc) is being used.

C/C++

To compile and link the sample program for C/C++:

NOTE: Compiling and testing the C sample is not a required step for installation of the PDF417 Encoder. It is recommended if you will be using the C API.

1.Change directory to the sample directory in the PDF417 distribution, .../sample.

2.Edit makesam.umf and confirm that the include directory path (-I) is correct for your configuration.

3.Execute the following make file:

$ make -f makesam.umf

4. This will compile and link to an executable, samplec. Run the following program:

$ samplec

5.For successful execution, there will be no screen I/O but the following three files will be created in the current directory:

.../sample/pdfdib00.bmp

.../sample/pdftiff00.tif

.../sample/nmpdffnt

The files that are created from this test program are DIB, TIFF and font character files which contain a PDF417 symbol with the following encoded:

This is a test of the NeoMedia Technologies PDF417 Encoder. The error correction will encode at level 3 with ECC padding.

The files created are Windows based file formats. Export these two files to a Windows environment. Within Windows, you should be able to double click on the files. Microsoft Paint
