Compiling tesseract-ocr on ARM/Gumstix?

Question

Is it possible to compile tesseract-ocr for the Intel PXA270 found in certain Gumstix boards? Has anyone done this successfully, and if so, how did you do so?

Answer 1

It does seem doable. This bug report on cross compiling tesseract-ocr for ARM ends with a workaround and the claim that it works from there on: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/issues/detail?id=262
