opencv-master-4.0.1 cmake with tesseract on windows 10

Greetings.

After unsuccesful attempts to build leptonica+tesseract with codeblocks(mingw 64bit) I used MS Visual Studo 15 2017 Win64 and finally was successful. I created

F:\tesseract-3.05.01\Files\leptonica\include

and copied

F:\leptonica-1.74.4\src\*.h       to F:\tesseract-3.05.01\Files\leptonica\include\.
F:\leptonica-1.74.4\build\src\*.h to F:\tesseract-3.05.01\Files\leptonica\include\.

Now I have the required modules to build openvc with tesseract --- I thought...

Using F:/OpenCV-Source/opencv-master-4.0.1 I started CMAKE. After first Configure I added the following 3 entries

Tesseract_INCLUDE_DIR F:/tesseract-3.05.01/include 
Tesseract_LIBRARY     F:/tesseract-3.05.01/build/Release/tesseract305.lib
Lept_LIBRARY          F:/leptonica-1.74.4/build/src/Release/leptonica-1.74.4.lib

into the CMAKE window and started Configure again. However, I did not see any indication that tesseract is included in my build.

What am I doing wrong? How do I configure CMAKE to have tesseract included?

Basically I followed the answer in

IF you want to use opencv's cv::text::OcrTesseract bindings, like e.g. here , you have to rebuild opencv along with the opencv_contrib modules , see readme.md there for build instructions .

the main opencv code alone does not use tesseract at all, and won't pick up anything from there

Thanks a lot! I included the contrib_modules you mentioned, and successfully compiled all with MS Visual Studio. Wolf
