# CCExtractor
CCExtractor is a tool that produces subtitles from TV use. Global accessibility (all users, all content, all countries) is the goal. With so many different formats, this is a constantly moving target, but we intend to keep up with all sources and formats.
Carlos' version (mainstream) is the most stable branch.
## Google Summer of Code 2017
CCExtractor has been invited to Summer of Code 2017! Another summer of coding fun.
If you are a student currently enrolled in university most likely you are eligible to participate. Read more at:
- [Google Summer of Code official website ](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/)
- [CCExtractor's main GSoC page](https://www.ccextractor.org?id=public:gsoc:ideas_page_for_summer_of_code_2017)
## Installation and Usage
Downloads for precompiled binaries and source code can be found [on our website](https://www.ccextractor.org?id=public:general:downloads).
Extracting subtitles is relatively simple. Just run the following command:
```ccextractor <input>```
This will extract the subtitles.
More usage information can be found on our website:
- [Using the command line tool](https://www.ccextractor.org/doku.php?id=public:general:command_line_usage)
- [Using the Windows GUI](https://www.ccextractor.org/doku.php?id=public:general:win_gui_usage)
You can also find the list of parameters and their brief description by running `ccextractor` without any arguments.
## Compiling
You may compile CCExtractor across all major platforms using `CMakeLists.txt` stored under `ccextractor/src/` directory. Simply,
1. Create and navigate to directory where you want to store built files
```
cd ccextractor/src/
mkdir build
cd build
```
2. Generate makefile using cmake and then compile
```
cmake ../src/
make
```
You may also generate `.sln` files for Visual Studio and build using build tools, or open `.sln` files using Visual Studio.
```
cmake ../src/ -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"
cmake --build . --config Release --ccextractor
```
---
CCExtractor can also be compiled without cmake. System specific instructions are listed below :
Clone the latest repository from Github

sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr
sudo apt-get install -y tesseract-ocr-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libleptonica-dev
# Note: On Ubuntu Version 14.04 (Trusty) and earlier, you should build leptonica and tesseract from source
```
2. Compiling
*Using build script :*
```
#Navigate to linux directory and call the build script
cd ccextractor/linux
./build
# test your build
./ccextractor
```
*Standard linux compilation through Autoconf scripts :*
```
sudo apt-get install autoconf #Dependency to generate configuration script
cd ccextractor/linux
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
# test your build
./ccextractor
```
### Fedora
1. Make sure all the dependencies are met.
```
sudo yum install -y gcc
sudo yum install -y tesseract-devel # leptonica will be installed automatically
```
2. Compiling
*Using build script :*
```
#Navigate to linux directory and call the build script
cd ccextractor/linux
./build
# test your build
./ccextractor
```
*Standard linux compilation through Autoconf scripts :*
```
sudo dnf install autoconf automake #Dependency to generate configuration script
cd ccextractor/linux
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
# test your build
./ccextractor
```
### OSX
1. Make sure all the dependencies are met. They can be installed via Homebrew as
```
