compile tesseract add_library error

[pol2095]

Hello,

When I compile Teseract on Windows, I have this message error in VisualStudio CMake :

CMake Error at out/build/x64-Release/.sw/cmake/CMakeLists.txt:1706 (add_library):
  add_library cannot create ALIAS target "org.sw.demo.python.lib-3" because
  another target with the same name already exists.		C:\Users\user\CMake\tesseract\out/build/x64-Release/.sw/cmake/CMakeLists.txt	1706

in tesseract\out\build\x64-Debug\.sw\cmake\CMakeLists.txt I have :

if (NOT TARGET org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10.13)
    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10.13 SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL)

    add_dependencies(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10.13 sw_build_dependencies)

    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10 ALIAS org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10.13)
    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3 ALIAS org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10.13)
    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib ALIAS org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.10.13)
endif()

if (NOT TARGET org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7)
    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7 SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL)

    add_dependencies(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7 sw_build_dependencies)

    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13 ALIAS org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7)
    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib-3 ALIAS org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7)
    add_library(org.sw.demo.python.lib ALIAS org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7)
endif()

how I prevent this ?

Thanks

Hi,

This should be fixed in fe38888

Please, update sw binary (sw --self-upgrade or with sudo) and try again.

Thanks, now configure work but when I try to generate the project I have this message error :

'org.sw.demo.python.lib-3.13.7-NOTFOUND', needed by 'bin/tesseract.exe', missing and no known rule to make it`

Can you post an excerpt of how you add/use sw libraries (and which ones) in your cmake project?
And also the configure and generate commands you use.

[pol2095]

I use CMake on Visual Studio, I choose the CMakelists.txt (File > Open > Project CMake) and Visual Studio configure Tesseract-OCR itself, after (a few minutes) I click on Build > Build All.
I compiled older Tesseract-OCR 5.1.0 correctly but 5.5.1 not ?

[egorpugin]

Do you see that error on completely fresh cmake run?
(Remove all cmake stuff and re-configure and re-generate.)

[pol2095]

I tried cmake-gui (I never used it on Windows) and cmake --build x86_64_outdir --config Release, it works without error.
Something doesn't work in Visual Studio CMake

[egorpugin]

Try to completely wipe out cmake cache for the current project in VS.

Thanks for your help.
