Well done, Nick! This time I got this on Ubuntu 12.04:
$ make cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs MagickWand` boxer.c -o boxer `pkg-config --libs MagickWand` cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs MagickWand` libutf/rune.c libutf/utf.c lazytrain.c -o lazytrain `pkg-config --libs MagickWand` cc `freetype-config --cflags` libutf/rune.c libutf/utf.c glyphsavailable.c -o glyphsavailable `freetype-config --libs` cc libutf/rune.c libutf/utf.c breathingambigs.c -o breathingambigs and I have four new files: -rwxrwxr-x 1 donald donald 12739 Sep 23 21:14 boxer -rwxrwxr-x 1 donald donald 12731 Sep 23 21:14 lazytrain -rwxrwxr-x 1 donald donald 12215 Sep 23 21:14 glyphsavailable -rwxrwxr-x 1 donald donald 13056 Sep 23 21:14 breathingambigs Right, so now what do I do? You said last week to use commands such as: ./lazytrain textfile.txt DejaVu-Serif-Book 1.png 1.box which seems to work, but I guess that I need to run it for many fonts and then combine them all into a traineddata file? Are there guidelines on choice of fonts for a Latin-based alphabet, bold, italic etc? How many is enough? Is it still necessary to have a text file with multiple instances of each letter, which I have, but which will produce large box files? Some details on this sort of thing would be appreciated. Please say where, if it has been covered in the tesseract-ocr group before. I have searched but did not find what I want.
