Tesseract-rs Flake test

Grabs tesseract5 and leptonica from nixpkgs and sets up a crate that build against them.

With nix available, clone the repo, cd inside and run nix develop .

Once inside the devShell, your general rust packages are available (via nix pkgs - no need for rustup).

You can compile with:

$ nix build .#tess_test

which will put results in the symlink at ./result

Builds done this way will cache and reuse dependencies by caching them in the nix store and providing them as an input if the array of deps in Cargo.toml has not changed.

You may also build with:

$ cargo build

which does the normal rust thing of putting it in /target/... and caching as all other "normal" rust development toolchains do (since you're using one :) ).
