Widows port for Ocropus

[Basu]

Hi,
Its nice to see the message from Christian on a windows port release
by two weeks.
I downloaded the alpha release today and trying to make a Visual
Studio project (may be a dirty one).
let me share my immediate feedbacks on it..

1. As discussed by Craig earlier, there is a big problem with
aspell.h..
not yet solved..

2. <stdint.h> is not available
I just customized as follows for the time being and added d
"Subhadip_stdint.h" whenever neede
#define int64_t long
#define int32_t int

3. png.h, resource.h are yet available.. but png.h is available in
public domain.
what about resource.h?

4. In ocr-recognize-page.cc few lines I modified them as follows:
//char path[strlen(generate_training_data) + 20];//Subhadip
Commented it
char *path;//Subhadip Code
path= new char[strlen(generate_training_data) + 20]; //Subhadip
Code

5. Needed to write some macro in imgmap.cc
#define round(x) (((x-floor(x))<0.5)?floor(x):ceil(x))//Subhadip
Code
#define fmax(x,y) (x>y?x:y)//Subhadip Code

6. Modified <sys/time.h> as <time.h>

Just trying to build piece by piece..not yet complete
Original Ocropus distribution folders were not altered in the current
VS project.

If you are interested..I can update my findings in forum..
Is it going to help Chistian to expedite the windows port?
