Tesseract API c++ program built with visual studio 2019 on windows 10 crashes on windows server 2012

Question

Im am using the tesseract api (version 4) in a c++ program and build it using visual studio 2019 on windows 10. The executable runs fine on other windows 10 machines, but on windows server 2012 it crashes. The c++ runtime is correctly installed, other c++ programs work fine. Does anybody have an idea what might be the cause and how to fix this?

Answer 1

I found the cause: It is most probably related to tesseract bug: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/issues/3044

It happens when on virtual servers or older systems there is no SSE CPU flag (whatever that means) and the buildfiles are doing something wrong.

So there is no easy fix at the moment:-(
