DLL runtime issues with API on Windows

[Anthony Vallone]

Hello,

I am using MSYS2 to install tesseract on Windows, following the installation instructions:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-tesseract-ocr
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-tesseract-data-eng

Then, I am attempting to run the example code.

When I run my executable, I get the following pop up error:

the procedure entry point _ZSt17_istream_extractRSiPcx could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\libtesseract-5.dll

Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Please provide full information to replicate the problem (exact code, how did you completed it...)

In the process of trying to isolate the issue, I think I found the problem. I had a libstdc++-6.dll file in the application directory. I deleted that file and the problem went away. Somehow this DLL was causing a conflict with libtesseract-5.dll. I can't say that I am a fan of DLLs :-)
