Tesseract OCR engine dependencies with VS 2013 support, both 64 and 32 bit.

This repository contains the dependencies for Google's Tesseract OCR project for tesseract 3.03 and leptonica 1.70, along with dependencies for everything but WEBP support.

Build Instructions

1. Open VS 2013 Developer Command Prompt and change the directory to this repository.
2. Execute the following command msbuild build.proj

The build libraries and headers will be copied to ~\release when done.

Building tesseract

1. Get the tesseract source from SVN. For example checkout trunk to C:\tesseract-build\tesseract.
2. Apply the vs2013+64bit_support.patch to the tesseract source (this creates a new VS 2013 proj located at ~/vs2013).
3. Copy the previously built dependencies to C:\tesseract-build\
4. Open the C:\tesseract-build\tesseract\vs2013\tesseract.sln solution in VS 2013 and build your desired configuration.
