The INSTALL file for ocropus says
--------------------------------------------------------
The 2.03 release of Tesseract has a bug. We have a patch for it, it's called
tesseract-2.03-patch.diff and located in the top-level OCRopus directory.
So the commands to install Tesseract 2.03 might look like this:
wget http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-2.03.tar.gz
tar xzf tesseract-2.03.tar.gz
cd tesseract-2.03
wget http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/tesseract-2.00.eng.tar.gz
tar xzf tesseract-2.00.eng.tar.gz # or other language packages
patch -p1 <../ocropus-0.2/tesseract-2.03-patch.diff # check this path!
./configure # CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -O2" ./configure if you want Python later
make
sudo make install # installs in /usr/local
The installation will finish with an error message about having no install
target in java/ subdirectory. That's another bug in 2.03 - just ignore it.
Alternatively, you can use SVN:
svn co http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tesseract-ocr
cd tesseract-ocr
./configure # CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -O2" ./configure if you want Python later
make
sudo make install # installs in /usr/local
-----------------------------------------------
Those instructions assume you have ocropus. It's available via
svn checkout http://ocropus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ocropus
