Hello, I built OCRopus for Mac OSX 10.5.6, and wanted to share the results, since some people seem to have had problems getting it to build. I also compiled ImageMagick and Ghostscript so that it'll handle more image formats.
The final result is TakOCR.app, a Mac 'dropplet' application that you can drop images and PDFs onto and they'll be OCRed, and the hOCR output displayed. My dad needed an OCR solution and isn't really a command line kind of guy. Here's the webpage: http://stuporglue.org/tako/ And the download directory: http://stuporglue.org/tako/downloads/v1/ * OCRopus_Full.tgz -- Tesseract, OCRopus, Imagemagick, Ghostscript -- unpack it to / and it'll expand into /usr/local/ * TakOCR.pkg -- Installer package for Mac OSX. Installs binaries and TakOCR.app. * TakOCR_uninstaller.command -- Bash script that uninstalls everything TakOCR.pkg installs * build_ocr.sh -- Script to download and build IM, GS, Tesseract, OCRopus and needed libs on OSX. Makes needed changes to Makefile before compiling. * takocr.rb -- Ruby script inside TakOCR.app which sets environment variables, splits PDFs and Tiffs if needed, and then runs the images through OCRopus.
