#41821 closed defect (fixed)

Tesseract description should indicate required steps post-install steps

Reported by: office@… Owned by: markemer (Mark Anderson)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: Cc: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)
Port: tesseract

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

The port description ("port info tesseract") should indicate the necessity of two manual install steps after "port install tesseract":

  1. export TESSDATA_PREFIX=/opt/local/share
  2. add at least one language file (e.g. eng.traineddata); see comment at bottom of this page

I've found these two steps necessary when installing tesseract @3.02.02_0 with MacPorts 2.2.1 on OS X 10.9.

Actually they should be put in a notes block and be accessible by port notes tesseract. Or maybe a page should be created on the HOWTO wiki page about it.

I'm going to check if we still need this. My feeling is we probably do.
