ZBar reads bar codes from sources such as video streams,
image files, and raw intensity sensors.
It supports many popular types of bar code symbologies including
EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128,
Interleaved 2 of 5, GS1 DataBar (RSS-14), QR Code, and SQ Code.

I have successfully rebuilt the package locally with some patch
adjustments for changes incorporated and new patches for config changes,
some new and changed b-r packages, and pushed to playground:
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=git/cygwin-packages/zbar.git
built under scallywag GH CI:
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=zbar
log at:
https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/10566715776/job/29274446760
There are the same 3 missing and 3 spurious code matches out of 100,000
tests locally and under scallywag.
