All "common" tools used to build ssocr have been part of GNU/Linux distribtuions for decades. But since more people want to build ssocr on non-GNU systems it might be helpful to hint at where to find the common utility programs: - some are used in a POSIX compatible way - some are part of GNU - then there are others
Seven Segment Optical Character Recognition or ssocr for short is a program to recognize digits of a seven segment display. An image of one row of digits is used for input and the recognized number is written to the standard output. The program runs on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD (available as a port), Mac OS X (using Homebrew to install Imlib2), and even on Windows (using Cygwin). ssocr should work on any UNIX-like or POSIX compatible operating system. See the INSTALL file for instructions on how to build ssocr. A manual for ssocr is available in the form of a man page named ssocr.1, you can read it using "make ssocr.1 && man ./ssocr.1" (without the quotes). You can get the current ssocr version from the official ssocr website: http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~auerswal/ssocr/ I am usually quicker to reply to emails than to GitHub issues.
