The latest installment of my Visual Studio 2008 Solution files and
documentation for tesseract-3.02 alpha is now at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?23xko65yhmxocgm
This release is really only for the more adventurous (or desperate).
In particular, you'll need to read the vs2008/doc/setup.html page,
especially "Using the latest Tesseract-OCR sources" which explains the
steps required to download and use the SVN sources. Most of you should
just probably wait a few weeks for the "real" release.
On the other hand, I'd appreciate it if those of you who aren't
planning on being on the bleeding edge, would still download the
package and take a look at the documentation in the vs2008\doc folder.
Comments from "newbies" to building tesseract on Windows using Visual
Studio 2008 (or VC++ 2008 Express Edition) would be helpful.
For those who haven't been following the thread on the tesseract-dev
list, this enhanced VS2008 Solution among other things:
+ Is a completely new Visual Studio 2008 solution created from scratch.
+ Has (mostly) full HTML documentation in the vs2008\doc directory,
built using the Sphinx Python Documentation Generator. Only the
documentation for the work-in-progress APIExamples Solution needs to
be finished at this point (I think).
+ Has LIB_Release, LIB_Debug, DLL_Release, and DLL_Debug build
configurations.
+ Creates a single libtesseract library (removes generation of the
twelve sub-libraries).
+ Adds Version Resources to all DLLs and applications.
+ Removed inclusion of the Leptonica libraries. They now have to be
downloaded separately.
Besides adding some more documentation, the changes from my initial release are:
+ All "internal" projects (everything *except* APITest) now refer to
vs2008\include\tesseract_versionnumbers.vsprops and
vs2008\include\leptonica_versionnumbers.vsprops instead of the "public"
include directory as per Zdenko's request.
+ stdint.h was removed from vs2008\include since it is no longer needed
to build Leptonica.
+ inttypes.h was removed from vs2008\include since it isn't needed
to build Leptonica.
+ All references to __MSW32__ were removed.
+ Move mathfix.h from vs2008\include to vs2008\port
+ The list of "public" header files that are required to build
"external" applications is now limited to the following 13 files::
api\apitypes.h
api\baseapi.h
ccmain\thresholder.h
ccstruct\publictypes.h
ccutil\errcode.h
ccutil\fileerr.h
ccutil\host.h
ccutil\memry.h
ccutil\platform.h
ccutil\serialis.h
ccutil\strngs.h
ccutil\tesscallback.h
ccutil\unichar.h
This version assumes that issue 635 at
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/issues/detail?id=635 has been
fixed. However, it probably *only* affects APITest and so can for the
most part be ignored.
