Tesseract should be available on Ubuntu (at least on last version - I am not Ubuntu users ;-)). So there is no need to build it from source.
If you want to to build it from source (for any reason) you should first learn how to build software from source. I am sure there are plenty of tutorials. If somebody do not want to follow tutorial - googling error messages can help too (my common approach ;-) ) Zdenko On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 9:03 AM, Sriranga(78yrsold) <[email protected] > wrote: > Zdenko, > > Sorry I could not understand clearly whether tesseract will work or not in > ubuntu 12.04 as well as 12.10.
