This was dropped from the 13.1 repo due to build failure,
but it's needed by tucan, so let's fix it and add it back.

In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated +by UNLV. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005. + +You will need to get one of the language packs in order to do anything +useful with tesseract, and that language pack tarball should be present +in the same directory as the SlackBuild script when the package is created. +See http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list for a list of +all available language packs. Note that you can install more than one +(or even all) of the language packs, as they do not conflict with each +other. The build script defaults to use English, but this is easily +changed by passing an alternate value on the command line. + +Here is the relevant code from the build script: + # Language pack(s) to use + # We'll install English by default, but you can pass another one (or all) + # of them on the command line (space delimited). If you pass more than one + # (again, space delimited), you must enclose the string in quotes. Examples: + # TESSLANG=fra ./tesseract.SlackBuild + # TESSLANG="deu deu-f eng fra ita nld por spa vie" ./tesseract.SlackBuild + TESSLANG=${TESSLANG:-eng} # Default to English |
