Hi again,

the LMTX zint module uses libzint, while MkIV calls the zint binary. The latter works for me, the first not.

On MacOS, the library is "/opt/local/lib/libzint.dylib"*. I changed that in the source and the file appears to be found. Could you add that, Hans?

From libraries-mkiv:

It is best to keep libraries in a place where you can keep an eye on them being updated, like

c:/data/tex-context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/lib/luametatex/foo/libfoo.dll

Oh, yes, I should still know that from mujs. Works with a symlink. I.e. no need to change that in the module.

But then still zintlib.execute returns nothing.

I can confirm this as well.

I wonder if this works on Windows? The API docs don’t mention an "execute" function. https://www.zint.org.uk/manual/chapter/5

"execute" should be a function defined in LuaMetaTeX, that internally calls zint functions.

Hm, ok, but where are the zint API calls defined? Hraban
