Installation with Dependencies

Please open Terminal and create a fresh clone:

git clone https://github.com/ulb-sachsen-anhalt/TranskribusSwtGui <local-path>

Please note: To update existings forks of this Repository, it is required to do git pull origin ulb/master --force --rebase.
I needed to remove binary artifacts from repository history just to be able to push the latest changes from TranskribusSwtGui / Transkribus expert client / TranskribusX Repository. Dropping those items resulted in a complete divergation of the history.

To be able to build Transkribus default and Windows64 Package (which includes a fallback JRE), it is required to have required Dependencies in proper version at hand.
Build additional Transkribus libraries on your own in the requested version, i.e. currently TranskribusCore:0.14.19 and TranskribusClient:0.3.19.

git clone --branch 0.14.19 https://gitlab.com/readcoop/transkribus/TranskribusCore.git
cd TranskribusCore && mvn clean install -DskipTests
cd ..
git clone --branch 0.3.19 https://gitlab.com/readcoop/transkribus/TranskribusClient.git
cd TranskribusClient && mvn clean install -DskipTests

Additionally, please download the configured Windows64 OpenJDK-JRE (see: pom.xml) manually from https://www.openlogic.com/openjdk-downloads and place the archive file in subdir jre.
This is mandatory for Application assembly.

Further, configured SWT-Binaries (see: pom.xml) must be downloaded and placed inside swt directory.
They can be found at Eclipse Downloads. Go there and select, for example, both SWT-Binaries for Version 4.22, extract the archives and rename the jars for each plattform.

Finally, go and execute Maven to start the build

cd <local-path>
mvn deploy -DskipTests

This will create ZIP-Packages for Linux and Windows inside the project's target dir, if and only if all required libraries and archives are available.

Please note:

• No connection to Transkribus Backend for training supported. Just a plain OCR-Editor
• Only bare Package and Window64-Package included.
  If you're looking for different Distributions, please check out the official TranskribusSwtGui / Transkribus expert client / TranskribusX Repository
• SWT-Support on Linux dependes both on OS and SWT-Version.
  On 20.04 LTS Desktop latest known working Version is 4.17, where on 22.04 LTS Desktop it's SWT 4.22
