Installing tesseract 5 via vcpkg

[Fábio Ramos]

Hello, I've tried using vcpkg to install tesseract 5 but I couldn't.

I've tried used the tag ''-head' in the command vcpkg install tesseract-x86-windows --head, but it always goes for 4.1.1.. any help?

I found a post with the same problem, but he answered that he tweaked some files and worked... I just don't know which files.

I found inside versions a way to specify a baseline and a port, and there is also a tesseract.json.

Any help?

Inside ports/tesseract, I added HEAD_REF master:

vcpkg_from_github(
OUT_SOURCE_PATH SOURCE_PATH
REPO tesseract-ocr/tesseract
REF 4.1.1
SHA512 017723a2268be789fe98978eed02fd294968cc8050dde376dee026f56f2b99df42db935049ae5e72c4519a920e263b40af1a6a40d9942e66608145b3131a71a2
PATCHES
fix-tiff-linkage.patch
fix-text2image.patch
fix-training-tools.patch
HEAD_REF master
)

calling vcpkg --head install tesseract:x86-windows gives the following output:

I found SWConfig.cmake at C:\Users\XWTSB02\.sw\storage\etc\sw\static, so I added it to environment variables as SW and as SW_DIR, still the same error occurs...

Yes, -head doesn't work with vcpkg.

You can install the dependencies via vcpkg and then build tessaract.

See https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/actions/runs/681261367/workflow

for the steps

Thanks!

I managed to add options to not build with sw, but then it tells me it can't find tiff.lib, even though it is installed.

I'll do it your way.
