I downloaded ocrupus, extracted it, and tried to figure out how to install it on my Vista 64-bit desktop. I even went so far as to download IULIB. However, when I read further I realized that there were many other sub-programs I would have to install and then I'd have to compile it on my machine.
I've been in the computer software profession pretty much since 1968, and I guess I could figure out how to do all this. However, if the procedure to get all the parts together and get everything installed is this complex, then I don't think it is ready for users not versed in Unix and/or C programs. I will watch for an announcement that the product has an installer for Vista-64 and then I'll try it again. Perhaps I shouldn't have expected more since the version is 0.3, but it would have been nice for a little notice on the ocrupus home page saying "testing/using this software requires familiarity with C programs, Unix and compiling software on your operating system." That would have saved me about half an hour. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ocropus" group.
