Im using the ZBarSDK barcode reader in my app, but it is not compiled to run on arm7s.

Im wondering if I should rather use a different library for my barcode scanning.

Im experiencing some problems with ZBarSDK, like problems with reading barcodes on some devices.

  • Why don't you compile your ZBarSDK to work with arm7 as well? You might have a happier experience. Or is that your question? – Michael Dautermann Sep 15 '12 at 15:32
  • If I remember correctly (I ultimately didn't use it due to the licensing requirements), ZBarSDK comes as a binary. You can download the source, of course, but the kit wasn't really geared towards it. He might not be aware the source option exists. – Steven Fisher Sep 15 '12 at 15:35
  • Well it works with arm7, but not arm7s, and I do not know what impact it has on the app that I remove arm7s as a valid architecture. I do not have any experience in compiling other peoples libraries. Im kinda asking if someone have tried or would recommend a different library, or if I have chosen the best 1 by using ZBarSDK. – Jacob Sep 15 '12 at 15:38
  • Can you remember what part of the licensing requirements made you not choose it. – Jacob Sep 15 '12 at 15:40

I ended up paying for the SD toolkit barcode scanner, since I did not like the ZBar license agreement.

Just remove the "armv7s" on ZBarSDK, this will work :)

You can use the beta version (1.3.1), which is working fine with optimized arm7 arch.
