Absolute beginner requesting help for getting started with Tesseract in C++ application.

[Dhairya Shah]

Dear All,
I am absolute complete beginner with tesseract or use of external application for that case. I want to write a cpp application that uses tesseract api( baseapi.h and allheader.h) However I could not find any tutorial on the internet which tells me how to add these libraries to my ide(code blocks)

I am using windows 64bit.

The question I want to ask is:
     1) inorder to include baseapi.h , is installing tesseract using windows installer enough or do I have to do something else.( I figure I have to download tesseract-ocr from git)?
     2) I have sucessfully downloaded and installed leptonica, please guide me how to link the libraries in codeblocks.( i have tried messing around with settings->linker settings , but hace no success).

I just want to write a small application which uses tesseract api. Please give me any input regarding how to do this, Using codeblocks or c++ is not necessary. any ide or any language would do. If you tell me how to compile my cpp applicaation using cmd also that would be more than helpful.

Once again I am complete beginner,kindly help me out and im sorry if i sound stupid.
thanks.

Hello Shree,

Thank you for your reply I have already tried these links but they are not working out for me.
This is where I'm getting stuck:
    
See it says to install git and cmake, which i did and when i run both git -version and cmake from cmd I get the versions
   

 However then it says to install cppan. For windows, it just required to extract cppan.exe and set environment variable. Which I did.
Unfortunately after that when I run cppan from cmd it shows error saying cppan.exe has stopped working
    
Thank you for providing me with the links and I would be grateful if you help me sort this issue out also.

Regards,
Dhairya
