Hi all, I hit 2 walls when trying the build and run tesseract from the latest checkout of master on OS X Sierra. First, I ran into some issues when running make training. After some Makefile hacking I was able to link libpango-1.0, but failed on libgobject-2.0. I couldn't find much about the availability of this library for Macs and stopped there.
The second issue is when running the tesseract vanilla OCR binary built from source: TESSDATA_PREFIX=/path/to/repos/tesseract/tessdata tesseract AmazonSonicare.pdf ./ Error opening data file /path/to/repos/tesseract/eng.traineddata Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to your "tessdata" directory. Failed loading language 'eng' Tesseract couldn't load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract. Along the way I had to depart from the Mac Homebrew instructions on the git wiki and pass in gcc/g++ v7.0 to the configure step (the instructions say to use v6.0). That said, the main binary build didn't report any warnings or errors. Does the project intend to support Mac or should I simply use a Linux environment going forward?
