I built Tesseract with no difficulty -- it works fine on its included test images, which probably doesn't say much. The stable 2.04 version can only read TIFF, but the slightly unstable v3, with some additional libraries, can read jpegs and other formats. Looks like a pretty good OCR engine, and I think this is where I'd put my effort if I get serious about scanning my old books.
