Reporting
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
Please do not hesitate to report bugs, and if possible their fixes! If you
|
||
|
|
send an example file, please make sure it's small. To report bugs, do one
|
||
|
|
of the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* go to http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=addbug&group_id=7147.
|
||
|
|
This is the preferred way to report bugs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* send it to one of the authors. Note that sometimes we may be busy, and
|
||
|
|
we won't reply it for days. If you post using the previous method, surely
|
||
|
|
one of the authors will read it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* use
|
||
|
|
diff -ru gocr_origin/ gocr_changed/ >patch
|
||
|
|
to create patches
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* if you have compiling problems, do not forget to send your configure-output
|
||
|
|
and the config.log file

Known bugs (see jocr.SF.net page too)
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v0.48 cutting of double melted chars will fail (example: serif MN)
|
||
|
|
v0.43 on dithered images gocr runs extremely long (seems to hang)
|
||
|
|
v0.41 linker error using g++ and netpbm under SuSE-9.3
|
||
|
|
v0.3.5
|
||
|
|
- segfault on some systems which do not support ifalpha(256+x)
|
||
|
|
- hexcode not read from database
|
||
|
|
v0.2.5 german umlauts and i-dots are not handled correctly
|
||
|
|
problems high resolution fonts
|
||
|
|
v0.2.4 I guess, there are still bugs.
|
||
|
|
Some systems do not handle stack in good manner (AmigaOS?).
|
||
|
|
gocr does extensively consume stack for recursive functions.
|
||
|
|
Therefore you can get memory protection failures or strange results.
|
||
|
|
The worst case is a huge black area. If that is a problem for you
|
||
|
|
request for changing it.

|
|
By mistake I programmed an endless rekursiv function and ...
|
||
|
|
SuSE6.4+linux2.2.12/13 got several "out of mem" and system CRASHED!!!
|
||
|
|
ulimit: stack=unlimited
|
||
|
|
- if text is framed, frame should be ignored, but it is not
|
||
|
|
v0.2.3 still problems with segmentation
|
||
|
|
- gcc 2.95.2 (SuSE6.4) error in load_db(), => fixed (thx to jasper)
|
||
|
|
v0.2.1
|
||
|
|
- some people have problems running gocr on DOS/Win95
|
||
|
|
I guess: stack overflow. Is someone able to analyze or fix this?
|
||
|
|
- large black areas on pbm-files cause a segfault on
|
||
|
|
Ultra/Sparc (64bit) machines running Linux (2.1.126).
|
||
|
|
There is a recursive function in the program which causes a
|
||
|
|
stack overflow, which is not detected by the linux-kernel (BUG?).
|
||
|
|
I look for a better solution.
