@Thenujan, @Kaiya, please don't use tesseract-ocr-git, use tesseract-git, which is the proper name of this package on Arch Linux.

@Thenujan Thanks, that works

As there now seems to be a new maintainer, I will just post my updated PKGBUILD file here:

I just send an e-mail to the maintainer and suggested some changes to the PKGBUILD file. Let's hope he/she sees it.

Use this package build instead because master has to be changed to main in build()

Speaking of pkgver(), this package fails to build now because the default branch was renamed from master to main (sigh). Changing master to HEAD in pkgver() fixes the issue.

FabioLolix commented on 2021-09-10 20:55 (UTC)

This pkgbuild, like all your other VCS pkgbuilds, don't have a proper pkgver(), see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#Git

cdbfoster commented on 2017-12-05 16:02 (UTC)

This needs automake to build.

lvu commented on 2017-08-31 17:25 (UTC)

This command git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`) in PKGBUILD currently checks out the 3.05.01 version. Had to change to git checkout master Plus, autoconf-archive package is needed for build.

iamdrrot: thank you, I added the dependency.
