Building

This links to the C library Leptonica.

On Fedora 30 the build dependencies can be installed by running:

bash sudo dnf install leptonica-devel clang

On Termux 2019 (Android, Android on Chromebooks) the additional dependencies can be installed by running:

bash pkg install libclang leptonica-dev

Building on Windows

On Windows, this library uses Microsoft's vcpkg to provide leptonica.

Please install vcpkg and set up user wide integration or vcpkg crate won't be able to find the library. By default vcpkg installs 32 bit libraries. If you need 64 bit libraries then set following environment variable

cmd SET VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET=x64-windows

To install leptonica

cmd REM from the vcpkg directory .\vcpkg install leptonica

vcpkg allows building either dynamically or statically linked application

if you prefer dynamic linking

cmd SET VCPKGRS_DYNAMIC=true

for statically linked libraries

cmd SET RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-feature=+crt-static

If you prefer to compile tesseract yourself (Because, for example, you could not get vcpkg to build using clang-cl.exe), you can set these environment variables: LEPTONICA_INCLUDE_PATH, LEPTONICA_LINK_PATHS and LEPTONICA_LINK_LIBS.

For example:

set LEPTONICA_INCLUDE_PATH=D:\leptonica\build\include set LEPTONICA_LINK_PATHS=D:\leptonica\build\lib set LEPTONICA_LINK_LIBS=leptonica-1.83.0
