dmtxread: Unable to open file "-" for reading

I tried brew reinstall ImageMagick and brew reinstall dmtx-utils.

I get a "dmtxwrite: Unable to encode message (possibly too large for requested size)" message when trying to barcode a 3-character message (like "W6x") with the -s 10x10 option. A 12x12 barcode is correctly built with the -s 12x12 option.

Online barcode generators build a 10x10 with 3 characters without a problem, and these get read by dmtxread as shown:
Matrix Size: 10 x 10
Data Codewords: 3 (capacity 3)
Error Codewords: 5
Data Regions: 1 x 1
Interleaved Blocks: 1
Rotation Angle: 0

I cloned this repo and followed the steps in your instructions.

As predicted, ./configure resulted in "No such file or directory", so I ran ./autogen.sh. Here's what I got:

jw@logopolis:/projects/open/dmtx-utils$ ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: 4: ./autogen.sh: [[: not found
autogen.sh: running autoreconf
aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

after looking around I found that some people got past the m4 issue by just creating an m4 directory. This seemed to work for me but seems suboptimal.

Hi,
I'm trying to install dmtx-utils via brew install dmtx-utils and via git. It throws an error :

checking for MAGICK... no
configure: error: dmtxread/dmtxwrite requires Wand >= 6.2.4
Error: dmtx-utils was moved to homebrew-boneyard because it has unfixable issues.

After considering many options, I've come to the conclusion that it may well has to do with the specific version of ImageMagick that is installed. It appears that Wand.pc is not even present in ImageMagick 7.0.4-8 (which is currently the current version).

Do you have any suggestions as to how to solve this issue?

Best,

Sander

The -c argument just output the parcial decode to the output, not as a callback return value:

-c, --codewords print codewords extracted from barcode pattern\n\

Could be added to the backlog a new function that returns the digits that were successfully parsed from the datamatrix ?

Install the App
Press Command+Space and type Terminal and press enter/return key.
Copy and paste the following command in Terminal app:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
and press enter/return key. Wait for the command to finish. If you are prompted to enter a password, please type your Mac user's login password and press ENTER. Mind you, as you type your password, it won't be visible on your Terminal (for security reasons), but rest assured it will work.
Now, copy/paste and run this command to make brew command available inside the Terminal: echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.zprofile
Copy and paste the following command:
brew install dmtx-utils
Done! You can now use dmtx-utils.

When trying to build dmtx-utils 0.7.6 on OS X, I get an error for an undeclared identifier:

This was introduced in c0a1d52, which was part of #4.

I've played around with another datamatrix generator like https://github.com/boombuler/barcode (golang).

That generator generates datamatrixes where the dimensions are not determined
by module size or margin.

Unfortunately dmtxread cannot read them: it exits with status 1, and no error.

Other readers like https://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com/ can read it.

dmtxread does work if I produce a datamatrix with the "expected" dimensions, i.e. the dimensions
dmtwrite would produce if it were to write the same input text.

My golang code that produces png (stdout!) that dmtxread can read:

package main

import (
  "image/png"
  "os"
  "github.com/boombuler/barcode"
  "github.com/boombuler/barcode/datamatrix"
  "fmt"
)

func main() {

  // Create the barcode
  code, c_err := datamatrix.Encode("hello")

  if c_err != nil {
    fmt.Println(os.Stderr,"error: %s",c_err)
    os.Exit(1)
  }

  //without this line, dmtxread fails to read it
  code,_ = barcode.Scale(code,80,80)

  // encode the barcode as png
  png.Encode(os.Stdout, code)
}

As stated: withouth scaling statement, dmtxread fails to read it.

Any idea?

See here my resulting png:

I cannot decode the attached image with dmtxread. It starts well but then hangs after 9 decoded datamatrix.

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I need to encode an XML file to datamatrix on linux.
With 0.7.4 encoding with
dmtxwrite -s 26x26 -e e barcode.xml -o barcode.jpeg
is no problem.

With 0.7.5
dmtxwrite -s 26x26 -e e barcode.xml -o barcode.jpeg
gives:
dmtxwrite: Unable to encode message (possibly too large for requested size)

What can I do? Thanx for your help in advance.

Claudia

dmtxwrite -l shows this encouraging list of formats, but there are no pointers or explanations of what they mean.
Where are they documented? If they are listed somewhere, maybe it should be made more obvious where to find them?
