Build error on Max OSX Lion about python-tesseract HOT 32 CLOSED

Hi Travisle,

Will look into it and come back to u in 24hours

Joe

Are u using svn version of tesseract-ocr?

"First, install tesseract svn as suggested by mcradle
http://mousecradle.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/compiling-svn-tesseract-on-osx/
Then,  ........"

If not, then
have u run
sudo python setup.py clean

the default PREFIX of macport is /opt/local

Details pls refer to
http://code.google.com/p/python-tesseract/wiki/HowToCompilePythonTesseract

Yes, I followed the article by mcradle. I am using the svn version of 
tesseract. 

Also, I have tried to build this on BackTrack 5 R2 and received a similar build 
error. 

Below is the screen dump on my new imac, setup.py should auto-detect the 
default prefix directory as /opt/local.  I am using Macport if u are using 
otherwise please let me know. 

We may try replacing your setup.py with the attached one

Good luck

has-iMac:python-tesseract ha$ 

I just tried it and I still get the same error. I am using MacPorts. I had to 
change the prefix directory to /usr/local as that is where leptonica was 
installed with MacPorts.

wget 
http://python-tesseract.googlecode.com/files/python-tesseract.macosx-10.7-x86_64
.tar.gz
tar zxvf python-tesseract.macosx-10.7-x86_64.tar.gz
copy the site-packages directory manually 

Out of curiosity what is your sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix?
{{{
>>> import sys
>>> sys.prefix
'/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7'
>>> sys.exec_prefix
'/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7'
}}}

Strange.... 
sudo port install leptonica
shall install lept into /opt/local/lib

has-iMac:dist ha$ cd /opt/local/lib
has-iMac:lib ha$ ls *lept*
liblept.2.dylib liblept.a   liblept.dylib   liblept.la

both of the prefixes are in 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/2.7

Those lept files are in the /opt/local/lib folder. However if I leave the 
prefix in setup.py to /opt/local, it will give an error saying unable to find 
publictypes.h and a couple others. I found on some blogs saying to change the 
prefix to /usr/local to get past that error.

U need to manually copy all the missing file from tesseract-ocr into 
python-tesseract folder
then your problem shall fix

You shouldn't change prefix anyway

can u show me your screen dump after running
python setup.py clean
python setup.py build

I tried copying those missing files and now i get a bunch of other build errors 
including the ones i had earlier. This is with copying the missing files into 
the python-tesseract directory.

very interesting...
most of include .h files reported missing is expected to be found in 
-I/opt/local/include/tesseract
but in your case, I have no idea of course

I suggest you either
1) start from the ground zero, to reinstall tesseract-ocr properly into 
/opt/local
2) forget about compling, just use the complied version

wget 
http://python-tesseract.googlecode.com/files/python-tesseract.macosx-10.7-x86_64
.tar.gz
tar zxvf python-tesseract.macosx-10.7-x86_64.tar.gz
copy the site-packages directory manually to yours 

By the way, I am interested in knowing why u want to have your macport 
installed onto /System directory rather than that of /opt/local/Library? 

This is one site where someone else mentioned that they had to change the 
prefix to /usr/local:

http://blog.dd0t.com/2012/05/02/using-python-tesseract-on-os-x-lion.html

I don't know about macport... that is where it installed to.

the guy posting the blog is using homebrew rather than macport. How about you?

i am using macport, but the error is the same

Same issue actually and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything.

is my my dump screen. I feel like I've tried everything above at this point.

I used the svn method, but when running
python setup.py build i get:

Have u followed the instruction to install?

brew install wget axel swig leptonica tesseract opencv subversion

No, i haven't.

I thought it was either the steps above or under the "or".

But it works now, thanks.
