building tesseract on windows using cygwin

[Simon Eigeldinger]

Hi all,

just tried to compile tesseract on windows using cygwin from the git repo.

this is what i got.
looks pretty fine until we reach make.
though i post the full stuff.
i think i haven't forgotten any dependencies.

maybe someone could have a look at this?
thanks.

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/Besitzer/tesseractbin

Running aclocal
Running libtoolize
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'config'.
libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'.
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4'

Running autoheader
Running automake --add-missing --copy
configure.ac:65: installing 'config/missing'
api/Makefile.am: installing 'config/depcomp'

All done.
To build the software now, do something like:

$ ./configure [--enable-debug] [...other options]

$ ./configure --prefix=/home/Besitzer/tesseractbin
--disable-tessdata-prefix --
disable-shared

Zdenko,

How is this update tagged? Is there a version number with it for future ref.

- sent from my phone. excuse the brevity.

I do not understand - this is standard fix/commit as any other. Why it should be tagged???

Maybe tag is the wrong word.

I wanted to know if someone wanted to download a 3.04.00 version that works with Cygwin how would they access it.

I think the question could be rephrased as "Is a bugfix that
re-enables compilation on Cygwin not significant enough to justify
tagging it as a bugfix release (e.g., 3.04.01)?"

I think it is, but it's your call.

<Sefam> Are any of the mentors around?
<jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you

[Jeff Breidenbach]

Not to mention the data corruption problem on stdout. Maybe wait another 

week or two for anything else to come up, and then declare 3.04.01? 

(Just to be clear, it doesn't matter from Debian's perspective; the

stdout fix has already been patched there.)

Hi,

i hope it worked.
here's a binary to test for people who want to see if everything works fine:
http://domasofan.spdns.eu/tesseract/

There are some files over there.
they are all self extracting archives and you can extract them all in
the wanted directory. the subdirectories will be created automatically.
so if it wants to replace something it should be granted to do so.
especially the tessdata directory.

here's what all those files do:

tesseract-core-win-git-20150721.exe
around 3.7 mb.
the core tesseract program without the trained data data.

tesseract-eng-deu-win-git-20150721.exe
around 13.4 mb.
german and english data files.

tesseract-all-langs-win-git-20150721.exe
around 351.7 mb.
all the data files for tesseract which it can use at the moment.


Let's see if it works.
had no time currently to test but will do in the office tomorrow.



greetings,
simon

Hi,

maybe the current git is broken.

at least it looks like:


$ cd tesseractsrc

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/Besitzer/tesseractbin
Running aclocal
Running libtoolize
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'config'.
libtoolize: copying file 'config/ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'.
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4'
Running autoheader
Running automake --add-missing --copy
configure.ac:65: installing 'config/missing'
api/Makefile.am: installing 'config/depcomp'
Running autoconf

All done.
To build the software now, do something like:

$ ./configure [--enable-debug] [...other options]


$ ./configure --prefix=/home/Besitzer/tesseractbin
--disable-tessdata-prefix --

No. That is configure.ac error. I have it today and i thought i fixed it... anyway if you try dev code  you should expect it does not work ;-)
