Linking with Tesseract

[swhweng]

Hi,
I installed tesseract-ocr and tesseract-ocr-dev packages on Ubuntu via Synaptic package manager
Qt Creator IDE recognized tesseract includes such as:

#include <tesseract/baseapi.h>
#include <tesseract/globals.h>

etc.

but when I add:

LIBS += -ltesseract

to .pro file I get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltesseract

why such?

Does anybody have an experience and know how to install and include tesseract to Qt project on Ubuntu?
Thank you.

I think you need to add the path to the library too.

I have moved this reply from one of the other threads mentioned below, to clean up the discussion.

Pavel, please don't double post questions in multiple topics. -I'm closing this one.-

Edit:
After I noticed you posted the same question three times, and consulting with other moderators, I have changed the solution. The topics you posted in are all open again, but I have deleted all but one of your posts on this issue and created a separate, new topic for it. Please stick to only that topic.

The original questions were in "these":/forums/viewthread/3014/ "three":/forums/viewthread/16491/ "topics":/forums/viewthread/14931/ (all on ORC).

Does anybody succeed to build and run this project:

"http://code.google.com/p/qtesseract/":http://code.google.com/p/qtesseract/

I built tesseract using visual studio ( vs2008 project ) and several .lib generated and I added them to .pro file together with include .h files but still a lot of "undefined references...".

If yes can you share the exact tesseract libs and includes you used on Windows XP/7 x86/x64 ?

Thanks in advance.
