trying to get running...

Hi. I am trying to get this running on Windows 10 using Visual Studio Code.

If cd into the repo and run a command like: eynollah -i C:/Users/Scott/Desktop/Python2/Kpages/Pages/076v.jpg -o C:/Users/Scott/Desktop/Python2/Kpages -m C:/Users/Scott/Desktop/Python2/eynollah/models_eynollah -si C:/Users/Scott/Desktop/Python2/Kpages it doesn’t appear to run. A new command prompt comes up after a couple of seconds – but no output and no error message.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

🎉 good to hear it’s working for you now and thanks for documenting the steps you needed. Good to close an issue with an actual solution.

About make models, you don’t need to go through make just for that, all that target does is

wget 'https://qurator-data.de/eynollah/models_eynollah.tar.gz'
tar xf models_eynollah.tar.gz

i.e. download the tarball and extract it, nothing fancy.

Once the OCR-D bindings are in place and https://github.com/OCR-D/core/pull/668 is merged, you will be able to download the models with ocrd resmgr download ocrd-eynollah '*'.

Thanks to everyone weighing in with input on this.

I made a fresh conda environment (Windows 10 OS) and took another go at it. I needed to install pip to install eynollah. But after some fails, I figured out that pip installed python 3.9. So I installed python 3.6. pip install . worked after that – but not until I manually made the changes referenced above (#18).

I used msys64 + mingw64 to install the models successfully.

Running eynollah -i C:/Users/Scott/Desktop/Python2/K/eyn_test/F073r.jpg -o C:/Users/Scott/Desktop/Python2/K/eyn_test/results -m C:/users/scott/desktop/python2/eynollah/models_eynollah -si C:/users/scott/desktop/python2/K/eyn_test/results I got the following

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

After some dead ends, I googled the error line plus “shapely,” and found a suggestion at another repo to simply conda install -c conda-forge shapely I no longer got that specific error. And eynollah --help works. (Yay!)

However, running the same command above, now I get:

I’ve triple-checked my paths, and they’re fine. And I’ve poked around to try to understand where the ValueError is coming from. But yet to no avail. Any suggestions?
