    Code:
    	if (0 != api.Init(NULL, NULL))
    	{
    		m_sState.Format(_T("tesseract initialize error. last error: %d"), GetLastError());
    		::SendMessage(theApp.m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), WM_SETMESSAGESTRING, 0, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)m_sState);
    	}
    
    // tesseract initialize error. last error: 3
    strange ... I guess is about configuring tesseract ? However, they were compiled successfully ... with no error, the same platform, the same settings ...

    Re: Using Tesseract in MFC

    I would suggest that first you try creating a new non-mfc standard console c++ solution that only tries to initialise tesseract. If this still fails then you're going to have to get your hands dirty and debug tesseract.

    If this simple test program does initialise ok, then it's something you doing in your code that tesseract doesn't like. Then try the simplest mfc program with tesseract and see if that works. If not, then there's something about mfc and tesseract which will have to be debugged to determine. If this simple mfc test program does initialise tesseract then add code and test after each code addition until you know what code was added to cause tesseract to not initialise.

    Very good suggestion: soon as I run this code inside a console app, I get valuable error messages. Here is the code:
    Code:
    #include <leptonica/allheaders.h>
    #include <tesseract/baseapi.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        std::cout << "Hello World!\n"; 
    
    	tesseract::TessBaseAPI api;
    	if (0 != api.Init(NULL, NULL))
    	{
    		std::cout << "tesseract initialize error\n";
    		std::cout << "Last error:" << GetLastError() << std::endl;
    	}
    }
    and here is the messages:
    Code:
    Hello World!
    Error in pixReadMemTiff: function not present
    Error in pixReadMem: tiff: no pix returned
    Error in pixaGenerateFontFromString: pix not made

    Well there's your error 3 from GetLastError(). It was being set by .Init() trying to open a non-existent file.

    The 'fix' is also stated in the messages. You need to find the file 'eng.traineddata' on your system and set the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable to point to the directory on your system in which this file resides. If this file doesn't exist anywhere then you haven't downloaded and installed the required data files. See https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata for eng.traineddata file.

    PS See also https://github.com/tesseract-ocr for further data/info.

    Re: Using Tesseract in MFC

    That is why I coming here, I always solve the problems

    Soon as I set up the correct TESSDATA_PREFIX system variable, the .Init method has worked well.

    Now I have met another error, while was trying to use:
    Code:
    Pix* pImage = pixRead("C:\\Flaviu\\imagine.png");
    from official API example: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tes...iki/APIExample

    Code:
    int main()
    {
    	tesseract::TessBaseAPI api;
    	if (0 != api.Init(NULL, NULL))
    	{
    		std::cout << "====tesseract initialize error\n";
    		std::cout << "====Last error:" << GetLastError() << std::endl;
    	}
    
    	Pix* pImage = pixRead("C:\\Flaviu\\imagine.png");    // <--- pImage has 0
    	printf("pImage pointer value: %p\n", pImage);
    }
    the result is:
    Code:
    Error in pixReadMemTiff: function not present
    Error in pixReadMem: tiff: no pix returned
    Error in pixaGenerateFontFromString: pix not made
    Error in bmfCreate: font pixa not made
    Error in pixReadStreamPng: function not present
    Error in pixReadStream: png: no pix returned
    Error in pixRead: pix not read
    pImage pointer value: 00000000
    obviously, I have searched on internet these errors messages, and they tell me to compile libtiff before to install leptonica: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...nclude-libtiff
    Code:
    Try to install
    
    apt-get install -y libtiff5-dev 
    Then install leptonica from source
    
    git clone https://github.com/DanBloomberg/leptonica.git leptonica
    cd leptonica
    ./autobuild
    ./configure --with-libtiff
    make -j
    make install
    And reinstall tesseract after that
    what is these commands ? git clone ... etc. ? I don't have any git app, and I have no need of such thing ...

    Re: Using Tesseract in MFC

    These are linux commands! Have you installed/compiled libtiff/leptonica on your system?

    No, I guess not ... myself I installed nothing about this ... I only compiled leptonica from github ... that is all.

    Re: Using Tesseract in MFC

    I have installed leptonica and tesseract library on my PC. I haven't seen any libtiff option during installation/compilation process ..
