Last week, I built a Debian package for Dynamsoft Barcode Reader. Installing .deb file is apparently more efficient than using the .tar file on Linux OS based on Debian. Despite this, I believe most of Linux developers will give priority to the command-line package tool apt-get, unless the software repository...

I had no idea about LLVM(Low-Level Virtual Machine) until the day I installed Emscripten for learning asm.js and WebAssembly. Emscripten Compiler Frontend (emcc) uses Clang to convert C/C++ files to LLVM bitcode, and Fastcomp (Emscripten’s Compiler Core — an LLVM backend) to compile the bitcode to JavaScript. Installing LLVM on Different Platforms...

If you have a program designed for multiple platforms, you definitely don’t want to waste time configuring and maintaining the building environment. I was thinking how to compile my C/C++ code for Windows, Linux and macOS more conveniently, and after that, I decided to learn CMake. CMake is an open-source,...

Document Scanning is nothing new for mobile apps. I remember the first time that I installed a document scanning app was in 2010. However, Apple, Microsoft, and Google the giant tech companies got started to recognize the importance of document scanning technology recently. It is good to see the function...

According to the statistics of Stack Overflow traffic, Python is the fastest-growing major programming language in high-income countries. Python seems to be promising in the future. I have noticed that many of the developers who would like to use Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK for Linux are more interested in Python...

Many excellent document mobile apps support not only image capture, but also edge detection and perspective transformation. If you are interested in these computer vision technologies, you can use OpenCV to create a free document scanner app yourself. In this post, I want to share how to use OpenCV-Python to...
