>Have you looked at my "Using the latest Tesseract-OCR sources" page [1] that explains how to use TortoiseSVN to get the latest sources?
I tried installing Tortroise too. Couldn't install it either. I have only downloaded and unzipped the latest 3.02 ZIP contributions from Google's Tesseract-OCR download site into individual directories (preserving their directory structure of course). Isn't that sufficient? So svn is the base directory of the repository at Github that you were referring to. >"Programming with libtesseract" [2] discusses how to use libtesseract with VS2008 but some of the information applies to any compiler. baseapi.h and leptonica's allheaders.h are the headers you need to include. They're already included. Guess that's why it compiles (but won't link). So tessbaseapi.h was from an earlier version? I don't have Visual Studio and I don't want to buy it. Thus, all the vcproj files are evidently useless to me. I've been trying to use MinGW GCC as my current toolchain and CDT Internal Builder as my current builder within Eclipse. In a batch file, it should be either: set ti=<installdir>\tesseract-3.02.02-win32-lib-include-dirs\include\tesseract set li=<installdir>\leptonica-1.68-win32-lib-include-dirs\include\leptonica g++ -c -I%li% -I%ti% src\MinAreaRects.cpp or... set ti=<installdir>\tesseract-ocr-3.02.02-src\Tesseract-OCR\include\tesseract set li=<installdir>\leptonica-1.68-win32-lib-include-dirs\include\leptonica g++ -c -I%li% -I%ti%\ccmain -I%ti%\ccutil -I%ti%\api -I%ti%\ccstruct src\MinAreaRects.cpp i.e. - I assume that when compiling with the 'tesseract-3.02.02-win32-lib-include-dirs' then only one path entry is needed: '\include\tesseract'. And when compiling with 'tesseract-ocr-3.02.02-src'', then the relevant subdirectories (like \Tesseract-OCR\api) DO need to be added to the compiler's include path. Since I don't have VS2008, I can't attempt to use the Microsoft Visual C++ toolchain (having no 'cl.exe'). >You might want to look at.[3] which contains a very short tesseract sample app (essentially the same as tesseract.exe). I assume that references to using 'libtesseract' (at least in terms of ver 3.02) really means linking 'libtesseract302.dll' or 'libtesseract302d.dll' from the downloaded lib directory. Is the d version for debugging? So, the library entry for the linker should be 'tesseract302' or 'tesseract302d' (dropping the lib prefix and the .dll suffix). Just wanna be sure I've dotted all my i's. In my code snippet below, the variable declaration works (indicating a good compile). But the instantiation just below it never does (indicating a bad link). TessBaseAPI *tessa; tessa = new TessBaseAPI(); Correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
