Attempting compile gImageReader in OE

There are GUI frontends for the tesseract commandline Optical Character Recognition (OCR) utility, including gImageReader. Available as a flatpak; however, behaviour is likely to be better if run as a native app. Hence, I have had a go at compiling gImageReader in OpenEmbedded.

So far, not successfully, but I'm not ready to give up. Here are dependencies compiled so far:

djvulibre        3.5.27
gtksourceviewmm3 3.18.0
gtkspell3        3.0
gtkspellmm3      3.0
quazip           0.7.3

A couple of those, it was a challenge getting the build recipe to work. quazip recipe already existed in OE.

Anyway, here is the gImageReader homepage:
