Tesseract-ocr, baseapi.h fatal error: platform.h file not found

Question

I am working on engineering work on license plate recognition and therefore started from a simple code. Namely, I downloaded all the libraries or OpenCV, Tesseract and Leptonica but when you try to compile I have a problem with the file baseapi.h located in the library Tesseract.

Compiles the following command: g++ main.cpp -lopencv_core -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_imgproc -ltesseract

Error The compiled: tesseract-ocr/api/baseapi.h:27:22: fatal error: platform.h: No such file or directory

The beginning of my code:

#include <iostream>
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "leptonica-1.69/src/allheaders.h" 
#include "tesseract-ocr/api/baseapi.h" 
using namespace std;
using namespace tesseract;
using namespace cv;

...
