cpp/objc project updates and objc sample apps

[Steven Parkes]

I've created new project files for the cpp and objc directories. I didn't overwrite the existing projects, since people are using them. The new project files are cpp/zxing-cpp.xcodeproj and objc/zxing-objc.xcodeproj.

In both cases, the single project files build for both OS X and iOS.

Both projects build static libraries (of the same name as the project). The objc project also builds an OS X Framework that can be dynamically linked in to OS X apps and copied into app bundles for distribution.

There are three new/modified example apps:

objc/example/osx/bare
objc/example/osx/demo
objc/example/ios/bare

The "bare" examples are very minimal and pretty quick and dirty (they don't even bother to split out all classes into different files.) The osx bare example is actually a port of the macruby sample app. In both cases, their main purpose is for easy testing of library changes, an example of a project file with an app target, and an example of using ZXCapture (the primary interface) to setup a preview layer and receive decode results.

objc/example/osx/demo is based on the example that Lance Drake put together last year.

Thanks for the update Steven.

So in this new project, is it encoding or decoding Bar code ?

These are just build/wrapper/packaging updates for the existing C++ code on Apple platforms. The C++ code doesn't include any encoders and best supports QR decoding. See the FAQ: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions

I'm pretty sure Lance Drake used an external camera of some kind in when he developed the osx demo app. I know the app has a pull down for the camera source. But beyond that, I have no experience with external cameras.

Best to reply on list.

I didn't build any downloads. You'll want to check the code out of subversion.
