Any recommend guides/tutorials for building this project on windows? about screentranslator HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm currently in a middle of a major refactoring of the project, so right now is not the best time to contribute :)
I recommend to wait until I push rescent changes before starting to explore the code.

There are some scripts to build dependencies here but they are quite outdated and are a part of this refactoring.

I use Qt Creator to develop c++ apps.
To build the app simply open the .pro file, select the build kit (a combination of the Qt framework version and the compiler version) and then build a project (Ctrl+B or via the menus).
The Qt framework and Qt Creator can be downloaded from here.
However this app requires some Qt modules that do not ship with the rescent Qt versions (and this is a part of a refactoring too :) )

According to you experience with javascript you may be interested in writing/editing translation scripts.
These are js scripts that are injected into web site pages to perform translation queries and parse the results.
Yu can look at them in the translators folder (but there is a refactoring, remember).

Anyway if you want to implement some completely new feature, consider opening the issue first (if there are no such already) to discuss it.
It would help to prevent situations when your PR is rejected due to mismatch in our project visions.

Sure, I'll always make discussions first to check the objective before start working on a new feature.
Can't wait for the refactor be done :)
Will there be any tasks managing tool be used in this project? (sth like: github project, Trello...)

Another question here,
I was just playing around with the project and try to build it with Qt5.5.1(QT creator 3.5.1, have tried both both mingw492 and msvc version)，but got this error,

("tesseract/baseapi.h: No such file or directory")

Any recommend way to install dependencies?

Few updates:
I have tried the prepare.bat script but got this weird error.

The cmake version I installed is 3.7.10 rc-1. Not sure which part I did wrong.

Haven't try the official installation guide of tesseract yet.

About task managing. Simple github issues will be fine for a start.
About missing include. Dependency build/install scripts are being refactored too, so they may not work now (they've been tested 2 years ago).
Can't say anything concrete about the error on the screenshot. Looks like something wrong with encoding or the compiler version. I'll be able to say more when I start porting scripts for Windows.

ok... will try to figure out at my spare time 🤔

I've just pushed the branch with the current WIP state. Many things not work, but it compiles with rescent Qt version and there are updated build scripts in share/ci (you need to set OS env to win32/win64 or edit it in config.py)

Awesome, will check it out later!

There is a fully working CI scripts for win/linux in share/ci. Closing the issue
