<h1>Building <strong>Tesseract-OCR</strong><a class="headerlink" href="#building-tesseractocr" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The Visual Studio 2008 Solution for <strong>Tesseract-OCR</strong> builds:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li><p class="first"><span class="filesystem">libtesseract</span></p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|

|
|
<li><p class="first">9 training applications (for v3.02)</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Unlike earlier Solutions only a single <span class="filesystem">libtesseract</span> library is
|
|||
|
|
generated — the twelve projects matching the twelve source subfolders
|
|||
|
|
have been abandoned. They were deemed too complicated since they were
|
|||
|
|
never (rarely?) used by themselves, but only along with the entire
|
|||
|
|
library.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In addition, <span class="filesystem">libtesseract</span> and <span class="filesystem">tesseract.exe</span> can be built using four
|
|||
|
|
configurations: <em class="guilabel">LIB_Release</em>, <em class="guilabel">LIB_Debug</em>,
|
|||
|
|
<em class="guilabel">DLL_Release</em>, and <em class="guilabel">DLL_Debug</em>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Two Visual Studio Property Sheets, <span class="filesystem">leptonica_versionnumbers.vsprops</span>
|
|||
|
|
and <span class="filesystem">tesseract_versionnumbers.vsprops</span>, are employed to isolate the
|
|||
|
|
Solution from changes in dependency version numbers (and isolate
|
|||
|
|
dependent Solutions). See <a class="reference internal" href="programming.html#apitest"><em>APITest’s</em></a> <a class="reference internal" href="programming.html#apitest-lib-release"><em>LIB_Release</em></a> Linker <em class="guilabel">Additional Dependencies</em>
|
|||
|
|
settings for an example of what this looks like in practice. See
|
|||
|
|
<strong>Leptonica</strong>’s explanation <a class="reference external" href="http://tpgit.github.com/UnOfficialLeptDocs/vs2008/downloading-binaries.html#about-version-numbers">About version numbers in library filenames</a>
|
|||
|
|
for the rationale behind using Property Sheets.</p>

<h2>Testing <span class="filesystem">tesseract.exe</span><a class="headerlink" href="#testing-tesseract-exe" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>It’s usually better to make a separate directory to test
|
|||
|
|
<span class="filesystem">tesseract.exe</span>. To run tesseract, you either need to make sure your
|
|||
|
|
test directory contains the <span class="filesystem">tessdata</span> tesseract language data folder or
|
|||
|
|
you set the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">TESSDATA_PREFIX</span></tt> environment variable to point to it. See
|
|||
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/ReadMe">http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/ReadMe</a> for important
|
|||
|
|
details.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>For example, you can use the following directory structure:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="highlight-none"><div class="highlight"><pre>C:\BuildFolder\
|
|||
|
|
include\
|
|||
|
|
lib\
|
|||
|
|
tesseract-3.02\
|
|||
|
|
testing\
|
|||
|
|
tessdata\
|
|||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Copy your tesseract executable to <span class="filesystem">C:\BuildFolder\testing</span>. If you
|
|||
|
|
built a DLL version then be sure to also copy the required DLLs to the
|
|||
|
|
same directory (or add <span class="filesystem">C:\BuildFolder\lib</span> to your <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PATH</span></tt> –
|
|||
|
|
However, this isn’t really recommended).</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>For example, if you are trying to run <span class="filesystem">tesseractd.exe</span> then you’ll need
|
|||
|
|
to also copy the following to <span class="filesystem">C:\BuildFolder\testing</span>:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="highlight-none"><div class="highlight"><pre>liblept168d.dll
|
|||
|
|
libtesseract302d.dll
|
|||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Copy a few test images to <span class="filesystem">C:\BuildFolder\testing</span> just to make it easy
|
|||
|
|
to run test commands.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Test tesseract by doing something like the following:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="highlight-none"><div class="highlight"><pre>tesseractd.exe eurotext.tif eurotext
|
|||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|||
|
|
</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This will create a file called <span class="filesystem">eurotext.txt</span> that will contain the
|
|||
|
|
result of OCRing <span class="filesystem">eurotext.tif</span>.</p>
