I was able to go through all of the steps installing tesseract 5.0 with Homebrew as listed here
# Packages which are always needed. brew install automake autoconf libtool brew install pkgconfig brew install icu4c brew install leptonica # Packages required for training tools. brew install pango # Optional packages for extra features. brew install libarchive # Optional package for builds using g++. brew install gcc I then completed the following steps: git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/ cd tesseract ./autogen.sh mkdir build cd build I then ran into problems: (venv3) Admins-MacBook-Pro-4:build kylefoley$ sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'.

I was also told "You should not install gcc, but use the default compiler on macOS." but I don't know what this means. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
