COMPILING

To compile the library you need the DMD compiler (at
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html) and the build tool
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/build/). Follow the installation instructions
and put the installation pathes of the binaries in your PATH environment
variable.

Then simply run

  build @

to generate the DLL in non-optimized mode (during development) or use

  build @release

to build an optimized release version (full compilation of all sources, cleaning
up of intermediate files)



INTERFACE LIBRARY

The generated interface library "pdf417codec.lib" is in the not so widely used
OMF-format and can be used only for DMD/DMC compiler, old MS C compiler and
maybe some Borland compilers. In the binary distribution it is named
"pdf417codec_omf.lib".

For a Mingw-compatible COFF library run mingwLib.bat to create the
"pdf417codec_mingw.lib" from the DLL (already included in binary dist).



SAMPLES

The included sample(s) can be compiled with Dev-C++, the *.dev files are project
files for it. An automatically generated Makefile is also included. To run and
compile the sample(s), you need the FreeImage library from
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/freeimage. The binary distribution contains
the DLL to run it.

A short documentation of the C interface, generated by Doygen, can be found in
the doci folder.
