kbarcode4-light: hardcoded path

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:38:48 -0000

In purepostscript.py, line 98, kbarcode-light is trying to open the file "/home/dominik/latest.ps". Some users don't have a /home/dominik directory :)

Call to backend PDF417_encode buggy / outdated

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 13:23:36 -0000

With KBarcode 2.0.5 support for pdf417_encode (4.4 and 3.9) is buggy!
Settings made under 'Advanced' are not saved, default values seem to be sent to the backend.

Also, the data and/or parameter format has changed in pdf417_encode since 3.9

It is possible to compile pdf417_encode from current sources, reverting to the old 3.9 format. However, doing so is useless, unless you want to use the default settings.
You will need to install dependency-libs first:
libungif-dev
lib..x11...-dev

Encoding type combo box can't display locale characters

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 13:50:07 -0000

In Barcode Generator form, "Encoding type" combo box
can't display locale characters correctly.

For example Codabar's Turkish description text. In
turkish locale (and with translation) some special
turkish characters seem ? char.

build problem in tokenprovider.h

Alan Krueger — Tue, 07 Sep 2004 20:01:37 -0000

Building kbarcode 1.8.0 under kde-cygwin 3.1.4 and g++
3.3.3.

The TokenProvider class (tokenprovider.h) contains a
member, label_time_struct, which is of type struct tm.
The tm struct is defined in <time.h>, which is not
included by tokenprovider.h. The tokenprovider.cpp
file compiles correctly because it includes <time.h>,
however commands.cpp does not and includes
tokenprovider.h via commands.h and mycanvasitem.

That data member needs a complete definition of struct
tm, so <time.h> should be included in tokenprovider.h.

problem during build

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Nov 2003 13:30:50 -0000

I just built kbarcode-1.5.5 on a debian box. Everything went smoothly except for one
item. The configuration did not recognize that kdelibs were installed. The problem is
that the check within configure involves the search for a string "klineedit" within a .cpp file built during the configuration. Apparently on some versions of kde the case has
changed for this string. Sometimes it appears as "klineedit" and sometimes as "KLineEdit". The solution is to change the check to be case insensitive. Here is the patch for configure.

24084c24085
< if test -f actest.cpp && grep -i klineedit actest.cpp > /dev/null; then
---
> if test -f actest.cpp && grep klineedit actest.cpp > /dev/null; then

This was required on a bleeding edge version using
#define KDE_VERSION_STRING "3.1.93 (CVS >= 20031028)"

checked out of the cvs repository.

Otherwise all went well.
