Anyone running Tesseract on Mac? I am trying to use the text2image tool from the /training directory. But it fails with the following errors:
./text2image: line 202: cd: /usr/local/google/home/rays/src/opensrc/tesseract-ocr/training: No such file or directory
clang: error: no such file or directory: '../api/.libs/libtesseract.so'
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so'
The first one is particularly strange. As if a developer had hard-coded his local working directory. However, the line number doesn't match up with the source and the name "rays" is not found anywhere.
So, for the next two errors: I have installed Tesseract from source as per the intructions. It works fine. Then, I had a hard time getting text2image running, due to a whole bunch of missing libraries. In the end, I worked it out using Fink as package manager and a build script found here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/roxlu/1322204eabbd5d42c2d0/raw/1b8546cfaef56b2bc5b120a8b201e6ddaf5bcad6/build_unix_dependencies.sh
But the two libraries mentioned in the subject line are still missing: libcairo.so and libtesseract.so. I do have the following on my system: - libtesseract.3.dylib - libtesseract.a - libtesseract.la - libcairo.2.dylib
I am not sure, if the .dylib's can somehow be made in shared object files (.so). Any ideas?
Cheers,
