ZBar Windows x64 port for VS2013
================================

This project is a fork of the Zbar bar code reader project, adapted for compiling under VS2013. My main objective was to be able to build a x64 version of the ZBar library for use in my applications.

If you find any bugs please let me know via this project.

This library is provided as is, use it at your own risk. No guarantee of functional or operational safety or security can be given.

Usage
=====
There is no installer. To use the libraries you can either use the built .lib and .dll versions and the include files, or you can build the libraries yourself.

The built dll and lib files are also distributed under the lib dir. You will also need the libiconv dll which can be found under zbar/libiconv/dll_xxx.

The include files are in zbar/include like in the original project.

Limitation
==========
- No Output Window and Video Input functions. Removed from the DLL def file. Some of it might be still in the code but you should not try to use them.
- I have done limited testing. Basically testing of the EAN and QR codes which I need for my own applications.

License and copying
===================
See the licensing and copying information of the original project which are all still present. The licensing of this library should be LGPL following the license of the original library.

Copyright

Acknowledgements
================
I used the libiconv for windows from http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/302012/How-to-Build-libiconv-with-Microsoft-Visual-Studio

I got some ideas for the conversion from https://code.google.com/p/zbar-redux

And of course the ZBar library itself. http://sourceforge.net/projects/zbar. ZBar is an extremely useful library for me!
