Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration tool. I am new to Jenkins. To get familiar with it, I decided to start learning from a CMake project written with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader. Prerequisites Jenkins CMake Dynamsoft Barcode Reader Initializing Jenkins Environment Stop and start Jenkins After installing Jenkins by running setup...

RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader that implements Asynchronous Module Definition(AMD) API for in-browser use. Similar to require() used in Node.js, we can use requirejs() to load any JavaScript module for web apps. In this post, I will share how to use Dynamic Web TWAIN with RequireJS. If...

Last week, I had successfully built JavaScript and WebAssembly ZXing barcode SDK. In this post, I will use the pure JavaScript barcode SDK to create a simple client-side HTML5 barcode reader app, which works in any WebRTC supported web browsers. What If ZXing Cannot Satisfy Performance Requirements? Try Dynamsoft JavaScript...

If you are looking for a barcode SDK for web development, the ideal outcome is to find a pure JavaScript SDK. The pure JavaScript SDK means JavaScript APIs do not rely on any server-side code. However, most of the barcode SDKs are written in C/C++ and Java. They do not...

It is the first time that I want to write something I failed. A week ago, I tried to submit dbr (Dynamsoft Barcode Reader) to homebrew/core. In spite of passing auto checks, my formula was finally rejected. This article records everything I went through during this process. What is Homebrew...

Most windows users like to download an installer to install software. However, for developers, probably they would rather like to use a command line tool (APT, Homebrew, etc.), like they get used on Linux and macOS, to install a program. Chocolatey is a command line package manager for Windows. Installing Chocolatey...

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...

Last week, I shared how to create a CMake project for Windows. Since CMake is a cross-platform software building tool, I am going to make my C/C++ project support Linux and macOS. What You Should Know How to Make C/C++ Code Compatible with Multiple Platforms I used the predefined macros to...

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,...
