Hi All
I created the symbolic link as suggested by Bruce and Luis and still got the error message
optional > unable to locate library 'libzint'
in my text editor. I use TeXworks. However, I thought I would try running from the Terminal app and it worked. It found libzint and output the pdf with both barcodes and the qrcode. I have no idea why it works in the Terminal and not TexWorks, I'm guessing I have a path issue which I need to investigate.
Notes
1) My machine is a mac-mini-M1 with macos Monterey and I'm running the latest ConTeXt version
2) Bruce noted that my Homebrew was installed in a non-standard location so I checked on the Hombrew website and it is installed in opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon i.e the M1 chip. Maybe Bruce's homebrew was installed on an earlier version.
Thanks to Luis and Bruce for their suggestions.
Best Wishes

Hi All
I have been struggling today trying to setup and use the Barcode module zint in ConTeXt and failed. I have followed the instructions on the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes ) but with some changes as follows. Which maybe why I failed.
1) I downloaded Zint using Homebrew since I'm using macOS, and installed it according to the instructions.
2) Since I'm using LMTX I looked for the file libzint.dylib and found it in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib . This is different from the path given on the wiki. The directory contained three files, two of which were aliases, libzint.2.10.dylib and libzint.dylib, and an exe file libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib
You have Hombrew installed in a non-standard location. Mine is in /usr/local/Cellar with the executables linked into /usr/local/bin.
But, assuming other Homebrew commands work when run from Terminal then you might still be okay.
3) I created the path $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint and copied libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib into but replaced dylib with 'so' as suggested on the wiki instructions. So I basically added lib/luametatex/zint to texmf-osx-64/bin .
"Yes" to creating the path but "no" to copying. Create a symbolic link instead.
So, in Terminal:
$ cd $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
# In my case I used the following:
$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so
# For you with Homebrew in a different location, try:
$ ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so
Then steps 4 and 5 as below. I ran the MWE below: the ISBN worked, the ISBNX didn't, the QR code did. This is on Monterey.
4) I ran mtxrun --generate to update the database.
5) I ran the MWE below but no barcode appeared. The console output shows:
modules > using user prefixed file 'libs-imp-zint'
modules > 'zint' is loaded
however further down the output it gives:
optional > unable to locate library 'libzint'
I have tried renaming libzint2.10.0.0.so to libzint.so, but still no barcode. Is their something I am missing? Tips or hints appreciated.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay

I wonder whether it would be possible that ConTeXt or LuaMeTaTeX could
be more verbose about an opened environment that isn’t closed.
$ mtxrun --script check filename.tex
is something I learned from this list.

Could be a path issue - or some other environment variable. This link should help you decide what needs to go where:

Ah, I'm on an Intel Mac which still uses the old approach. Apologies for the red herring.

Is there a straightforward way of setting up the itemize command such that
every first letter is capitalized, regardless of whether I do so in the
source file?
Also, is there a way to insert a comma at the end of each item except for
the last, and then a full stop at the end of the last item like follows?
- First item,
- Second item,
- Third item,
- Last item.
I revisited this today after the (frankly) subpar solution I presented yesterday. With the below example, we
• neither lose the nice features of \setupitemgroup
• nor do we need grouping of the items.
The only 'price to pay' is to use \citem (comma item) and \pitem (period item) as required.
%% start example
\def\citem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal],}\GetPar}
\def\pitem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal].}\GetPar}
\defineitemgroup
[pitemize]
[command=\Word,numberconversion=words]
\starttext
\startpitemize[n]
\citem first item
\citem second item
\citem third item
\pitem fourth item
\stoppitemize
\stoptext
%% stop example
Best,

cleaned up the example –
%% start example
\def\citem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal],}\GetPar}
\def\pitem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal].}\GetPar}
\defineitemgroup
[pitemize]
[command=\Word]

\citem second item

\pitem fourth item
