G'day, I was following the "Install OpenCV 4 on MacOS" tutorial found at PyImageSearch. I got to the step where you "make -j4" without any errors. However, at around 55% through the build, make crashes with the following error:
make: *** [all] Error 2
I repeated the make command using the --verbose option, and was able to find a number of errors during the build that look like this:
[ 55%] Building CXX object modules/text/CMakeFiles/opencv_text.dir/src/ocr_holistic.cpp.o
In file included from /*[sanitised]*/opencv_contrib/modules/text/src/ocr_beamsearch_decoder.cpp:43:
/*[sanitised]*/opencv_contrib/modules/text/src/precomp.hpp:54:10: fatal error: 'tesseract/baseapi.h' file not found
#include <tesseract/baseapi.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My environment is macOS Mojave 10.14.3, python3=3.7.2, OpenCV=4.0.0 using Homebrew.
I've trawled the forums and have tried the following fixes/work arounds without success:
- uninstall / reinstall tesseract
- unlink / link tesseract via Homebrew
- uninstalled tesseract and tried to make without it
I've posted on the PyImageSearch forum but havent had any luck there yet.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers
