编译Tesseract OCR 1.03

原先是HP写的，现在Open source了。支持英文字母和数字。据说辨识程度是世界排名第三的。http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr

Linux下编译：
configure
make
make install

发现错误：
分为2中错误
第一种是关于符号转换的bug，const char* 转换 char* 错误，经常发生在str××××相关函数，解决方法--将第一个参数用(char*) 强制转换一下。
第二中错误是发生在C++代码引用C代码的问题上，解决方法如下

测试：
执行例子图像文件tesseract.exe phototest.tif abc batch
输出结果在abc.txt,识别率竟然是100%。当然你自己做的图片就不一定有这么高。
