In the c:\wbuild\openalpr\windows\tesseract-ocr\src directory there is a
tesseract304.x64.support.diff file. It looks to me like the patch was bad or something.

I have tried x64, buildall, master, and v2.1.0 all the same

Msbuild: OutDir - C:\wbuild\openalpr\windows\build\artifacts\2.1.0\v120\Debug\WIN32\tesseract

because it does not exist.

Hey Guys. I'm already working in a project using the 2.3 release, but i need some new features available on the last version. So i've tried to compile it and i'm receaving some errors on openalpr files.
I've tried to Debug the files on VS manually but no success, with the same errors on those projects. I think i should make some changes in the structure of this files but I dont know where. Can you guys help me to solve this issues or instruct me how is the right way to fix it?

This is the errors showed on PowerShell during build:

On alpr.log i receive this error too:

"LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'openalpr\Debug\openalpr-static.lib'"

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I would like build a debug/release build for x64 targeting toolchain v140 in Windows PowerShell with following commands:

.\build.ps1 -Configuration Debug -Platform x64 -PlatformToolset v140 -CudaGeneration None
.\build.ps1 -Configuration Release -Platform x64 -PlatformToolset v140 -CudaGeneration None

However, it displays following errors:

Die : Msbuild: Unable to find C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\msbuild.exe
At C:\Users\Explosoft\Documents\GitHub\ALPR\openalpr\windows\build.ps1:157 char:6
+         Die <<<<  "Msbuild: Unable to find $MsbuildExe"
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Die

I have both Visual Studio 2017 Community and VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for dekstop installed in my Windows 7 laptop, as per below:

Could anyone assists on this issue?

Thanks.

when building the most recent grab, for X64, Debug, v140 toolset, the build wants to find Tesseract's built lib in windows/build/dist/2.1.0. But it's being built to 2.2.0! I "fixed" this by copying directory 2.2.0 to a parallel directory called 2.1.0, but this isn't that great of a fix. I'm not cmake-savvy enough to know how to fix this, but it should be.

I follow the instruction in "compile fails on tesseract #3"

git clone https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr.git
cd openalpr
git clone https://github.com/peters/openalpr-windows.git windows
cd windows
git checkout v2.1.0
git submodule update --init --recursive

But get the following error:

Cloning into 'E:/github/openalpr/windows/opencv'...
Cloning into 'E:/github/openalpr/windows/tesseract-ocr/src'...
fatal: https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?
fatal: clone of 'https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/' into submodule path 'E:/github/openalpr/ windows/tesseract-ocr/src' failed

It seems that it is due to https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/info/refs is redirect to github.
I clone the code manually:

cd windows
git checkout v2.1.0
git submodule update --init --recursive #this step failed
git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract.git tesseract-ocr/src

Then got the following error:

Get-Content : Cannot find path 'E:\github\openalpr\windows\tesseract-ocr\src\vs2010\libtesseract\libtesseract.vcxproj'
because it does not exist.
....

I need to compile OpenALPR to use it on Android with x86 architecture (because all public builds in repositories are under armeabi-v7a).

I followed the instructions to compile that with the Buildscripts. After a few tricks, the compilation was successful.

However, Android needs the build in .SO files, as such :

    Répertoire : D:\wrkfldr\OpenALPRAlten\OpenAlprDroidApp\app\src\main\jniLibs\armeabi-v7a


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name

But my final output for OpenALPR doesn't contain such files :

How can I specify to the build that I need .SO files ? I compile everything with the following command :

.\build.ps1 -Configuration Release -Platform x64 -PlatformToolset v140 -CudaGeneration None

git clone https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr.git
• cd openalpr
• git clone https://github.com/peters/openalpr-windows.git windows
• git submodule update --init --recursive
• cd windows

SHOULD BE

git clone https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr.git
• cd openalpr
• git clone https://github.com/peters/openalpr-windows.git windows
• cd windows
• git submodule update --init --recursive

It seems to build until OpenCV and is asking for the file OpenCVConfig.cmake which is in opencv/cmake; not sure why it can't find it. I tried setting the environment variables but still not good.

PlatformToolset: v140
PlatformToolset: Successfully configured msvs PlatformToolset v140

Tesseract: Release, x64, v140

Tesseract: Already built, skipping.

OpenCV: Release, x64, v140

OpenCV: Already built, skipping.

OpenALPR: Release, x64, v140

CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:64 (MESSAGE):

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:101 (FIND_PACKAGE):
By not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV" with any

Add the installation prefix of "OpenCV" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"OpenCV_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OpenCV"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

The instructions state that when building for Windows all of the dependencies are included in the folder. However I get a "Missing cmake.exe" error when trying to run the build script.

How do I add this? I've got the pre-compiled cmake binaries as a ZIP package.

What should I do here? I'm stucked with this. Please help me.

I use visual studio 2015 to compile openalpr2.2.0 debug version.
when build openalpr-net, error shows as below:

anyone knows how to fix this compile error?

thanks a lot

Tesseract doesn't build x64. And yet your docs show building x64 as an example. some instructions about "what to do" for building x64 would be helpful, if not necessary, for some people.

how to compile misc utilities for windows ?

OpenCV build is ok.
OpenALPR build is ok.
openalpr-net build fail.

What is the problem? Can u help me?

OpenALPR is currently at 2.3.0, includes important for me changes. With current script I was able to compile latest (master) OpenALPR for Win32 without CUDA. However it is using older sub libraries i.e. OpenCV 2.4.8 or Tesseract 3.0.4-rc1.
Also CUDA build will fail because of a missing file:
src\openalpr\detection\detectorcuda.h(34): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'opencv2/gpu/gpu.hpp': No such file or directory
This is because OpenCV 3.0+ rearranged header files for CUDA and OpenALPR is still using old paths and names like gpu::GpuMat which should be cuda::GpuMat in src\openalpr\detection\detectorcuda.cpp. But this is an issue caused by OpenALPR code. It is not a problem for me, because I'm using only CPU detector.
Support for latest stable version of dependencies and Visual Studio 2017 would be awesome. Please revisit this project one day ;-)

I have successfully installed ALPR by OpenALPR Windows Build Scripts,but now i need to import it to Visual Studio for modifying it.But when i try to run cmake in Openalpr/src,cmake said that can not find Tesseract and OpenCV.(by Build Scripts,Tesseract and OpenCV are downloaded and installed) .Therefore, cmake can not create solution for Visual Studion.So how i can import it ?
This is my log error:

Hi
I am new to this I am able to build alpr and get alpr.exe but my openalpr.conf file is empty and when I run it in console using alpr -c eu carnumber.jpg i got these msgs and it stuck there

I also noticed that after compiling I have some errors in PS shown in image

i didn't find any statedetection folder in alpr folder of dist can any one guide me about the issues

Do not have a space in your folder names. I know it's good practice, but trying to install with this script on someone else's computer when one of the directories in the path is named, for example, "S pace" will cause this script to fail.

The tesseract-ocr\src only has vs2010 Prj,And my computer has install vs2013,When I run build.ps1 got an Err like this:
