If you ask stupid and rude questions, you should expect stupid and rude answers; I think the problem you're experiencing here is that, while I realise exactly how rude *I'm* being - because it's deliberate - you don't realise how rude you're being. Let me rephrase your chain of questions to date so you can see it: "Hi. I want to use Tesseract in my project, and I don't know how to do it. My time is worth more than yours, so instead of reading the manual for my IDE myself, I expect someone of you to do it for me and tell me exactly what I need to do." Asking smart questions isn't easy (there's a whole document about how to do it: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html), but a steadfast refusal to do even the most basic research yourself is clearly the wrong way to do it. I'm feeling generous this morning, so I'll offer you this choice: you can: 1) Expect me to go read the manual for you and tell you how to set the linker path and how to provide the --static option to the linker -- but do so knowing that immediately afterwards I will set a filter to mark all of your messages as spam, so I'm never annoyed by you again, or 2) You can recognise that I've just given you most of the answer, find the rest yourself, and commit to asking better questions of volunteers[1] in future, because you just might need another question answered. Seem fair? [1] While Google are paying some their developers to work on Tesseract, that's for Google's uses; any Open Source, "community" contributions (answering questions on the mailing list, following the issue tracker, etc.) should be presumed to be on a volunteer basis -- but that's moot anyway, because there hasn't been anyone from Google actively answering questions on the mailing list recently. A good rule of thumb is, if you're not paying them, they're a volunteer. -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
