how to compile tesseract for windows on a linux machine?

[Simon Eigeldinger]

Hi all,

I have now a different machine for building stuff based on Arch Linux.
Can i compile tesseract on linux for the windows machines i have?

Which dependencies do i need?
I never have done that and would be grateful for some hand holding.
I just compiled stuff on cygwin.

Thanks and greetings,
Simon

Hi all,


Just resending this message.
Maybe it has fallen under the radar of someone who might have some clues
for me.
sorry to the others who read this already.

I did it successfully on Fedora 22. I installed mingw32 and a mingw32 package for all the dependencies except webp (even leptonica was precompiled). Then I compiled and installed webp and finally compiled tesseract. To compile each, make a build folder like: .../webp/build_win32 then run mingw32_configure. Then make and make install (for the library). Mingw32_configure looks for configure in the parent directory, sets up a special environment and then executes it (you execute autogen.sh first to create configure). I then copied API/tesseract to my windows machine and tried to run it. It would then complain about each DLL it needed. Back on the Linux machine I would dig out the DLL from the mingw32 root somewhere in /usr/ and copy it to the Windows machine. Once it gave a general error but it was still a missing DLL (libz I think). Once all the DLLs are there it works great.

There is an archlinux distribution for tesseract - see https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/tesseract/
