problem in running tesseract.exe

[Hasnat]

Dear All,
            I am experiencing problem in running tesseract.exe. The error messages are attached with this email. So, far I observed that tesseract.exe is running successfully in those systems where Visual Studio dot NET is installed. I am wondering whether I am missing any prerequisites are missing. I would like to add here that it fails even if Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) are installed.

Any immediate help will be really appreciable.
 
Regards,

Hi,

Try execute it from depends.exe
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
This program will tell you the missing DLLs

Hi Hasant,
try the following commandline: c:\Documents and settings\crblp\desktop\tesseract.exe temp1.tiff out -l ban
I hope it will works - provided tesseract.exe not tesseract_exe.

In the command line tesseract_exe was the name of the directory. I used tesseract as command and temp1.tiff out -l ban as its arguments.

I am just wondering whether there is any stand alone tesseract.exe available which can run independently without any dependency. If
yes then please provide me the link.

Hasnat,
tesseract.exe should work as standalone provided tessdata directory also included in the desktop. Perhaps your exe might have corrupted and as such attached tesseract.exe  - please ensure delete your name suffixed before use. Please feedback to me

Thank you so much for sending the tesseract.exe file. I will test this and let you know the update.

Unfortunately the exe file is also not working. I run dependency walker suggested by Remi and found that two dll files msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll are missing. Then I downloaded those and put those to the Windows/System directory. Then I run the dependency walker again and the following error message appeared:

 

Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "c:\documents and settings\crblp\desktop\TESSERACT.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).
 

Can anyone in this group find out the reason why tesseract.exe is not working in all the systems and what additional requirements need to be fullfill in order to run this successfully? As maximum members of this group has Visual Studio dot Net 2005/2008 installed on their system so they might not observe the problem. I hope to get the solution of the problem soon.

Hi,

If you compile the project with C++ code generation option "Multi-
threaded /MT" instead of the default "Muti-threaded DLL /MD" then you
have no dependencies and the exe should work on any 32 bit platform
(Windows 95 included).
In this mode you only have dependence to system DLL WS2_32.DLL,
USER32.DLL and KERNEL32.DLL.

Get this EXE here http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/tessnet2/tesseract_204.rar

Dear Remi Thomas,

                             thank you so much for your suggestions and help. It is working without any problem.

Nice to hear that works. The 2.04 sln builds this way by default. When 2.04 is fully released I will add a tarball containing an exe that is built this way, so a lot of users will be able to just download it and run...

Hasnat,
What was the problem with tesseract.exe and how did you solve the problem? Will please elaborate for the information of members of the forum.

[Hasnat]

The problem statement and its solution is stated throughout this email thread.

The problem was that the Tesseract.exe was not running successfully in all the systems. It run without any problem in those systems where the dependent prerequisites are installed. In our systems it is running without any problem as we have VS 2005/2008 already installed. However, it is identified as a problem on those windows systems where VS 2005/2008 is not installed. I was asking for such a Tesseract distribution which will exhibit same behavior in all systems regardless of what is installed previously.

The solution is given by Remi Thomas. You will find the exe here: http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/tessnet2/tesseract_204.rar

Answer here:

If you compile the project with C++ code generation option "Multi-
threaded /MT" instead of the default "Muti-threaded DLL /MD" then you
have no dependencies and the exe should work on any 32 bit platform
(Windows 95 included).
In this mode you only have dependence to system DLL WS2_32.DLL,
USER32.DLL and KERNEL32.DLL.

Thanks goes to Remi for his valuable guideline.

Thanks for the useful information reg: problem faced and its solution.

The 2.04 vcproj file does this for all executables, but not the DLL, as I thought that might lead to troublesome malloc/free mismatch errors.

To DLL users: Is if better for the DLL to be built with static linking if the C_runtime as well, or is DLL linking better?

Ray.
