Qt and Tesseract Linkage

[OlegD]

Still looking for help to install Tesseract with QT
Can pay for help

[SGaist]

Did you manage to install tesseract at all ?

[OlegD]

Yes, but it does not work, so I'm asking for help

[SGaist]

What exactly did you do ?
What was the outcome ?

Did you follow the documentation provided by the project itself ?

You seem to have already checked it based on one of your previous answer. However you did not explain what your issue was with them.

[OlegD]

If I execute files below thay just do nothing

Download the latest SW (Software Network https://software-network.org/) client from https://software-network.org/client/.
Run sw setup (may require administrator access)
Run sw build org.sw.demo.google.tesseract.tesseract-master.

@OlegD said in Qt and Tesseract Linkage:

still saying D:\PROG\May\Tesseract\main.cpp:1: error: tesseract/baseapi.h: No such file or directory

As I said earlier, you show no signs of having any tesseract .h files at all?

I don't think you are reading and following all the instructions. Please do so. For example, in https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Compiling.html#windows

Checkout tesseract sources git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract tesseract && cd tesseract.

I can see that would at least give you tesseract/include/tesseract/*.h, which is what you need.....

[OlegD]

@JonB said in Qt and Tesseract Linkage:

tesseract/include/tesseract/*.h

I can not run these files

Download the latest SW (Software Network https://software-network.org/) client from https://software-network.org/client/.
Run sw setup (may require administrator access)
Run sw build org.sw.demo.google.tesseract.tesseract-master

[JonB]

@OlegD
I give up. You are not listening and not following the instructions. Just expecting people here who know nothing about tesseract to solve it for you.

I can not run these files

These are not files to run.

[OlegD]

JonB, so how can I install if not via exe fille?!!!

[OlegD]

oh! I found a clue and probably goind to install it soon...
Thank you so much, JonB!

[OlegD]

Now I need to build it according to my librariries...
How can i check what do I actually have?

Msys2
Mingw+Msys
Mingw-w64

Looking for command as below, to find what do I actually have
C:\Qt\Tools\mingw900_64>gcc -dumpversion
11.2.0

[SGaist]

The Qt installer provides MinGW directly. It has nothing to do with MSys.

[OlegD]

So my next step must be here
Mingw-w64

Mingw-w64 allows building 32- or 64-bit executables for Windows. It can be used for native compilations on Windows, but also for cross compilations on Linux (which are easier and faster than native compilations). Most large Linux distributions already contain packages with the tools need for a cross build. Before building Tesseract, it is necessary to build some prerequisites.

For Debian and similar distributions (e. g. Ubuntu), the cross tools can be installed like that:

Development environment targeting 32- and 64-bit Windows (required)

apt-get install mingw-w64

Development tools for 32- and 64-bit Windows (optional)

apt-get install mingw-w64-tools

These prerequisites will be needed:

libpng, libtiff, zlib (binaries for Mingw-w64 available as part of the GTK+ bundles)
libicu
liblcms2
openjpeg
leptonica

what should i exactly do?

[SGaist]

Why are you following the cross-compilation instructions from Linux to Windows ?

[OlegD]

Is there the similar command line in MinGW that supplied by QT?

[SGaist]

If memory serves well, you should have some shortcuts in the start menu that starts a command line instance that is ready to use with MinGW.

[OlegD]

Oh, It seems I'm step behind to finish this insane journey..

How can I build it with QT now?

[SGaist]

As usual, point INCLUDEPATH to that folder, then LIBS to the one containing the library files and link against these libraries.

[OlegD]

Failed

Here is my pro file
Any thoughts how can I amend this to make it work?
