Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie in tesseract-ocr, to increase OCR accuracy, I need to train Tesseract OCR Best Model with specific font, so I follow this instruction using docker environment :

https://github.com/artdevgame/tesseract-trainer

Docker environment was built successfully But, when I try to run the docker using this command :
> docker-compose up

Some error occur (see error.png), 

train-ocr | === Starting training for language 'eng'

It causes by dir /usr/local/bin/.libs/[package_name] doesn't exists.

Fyi, I am using Tesseract v.5.0.0 (see version.png),

Please help me, 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

It already solved, the root cause is because of some missing command in Makefile.am,

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/1453#issuecomment-749104511

Really thankful someone has the same problem and the maintainer does some quick fix (I think this is the consequence of using a pre-release build).

Thank you
