Question

I am very new to the linux/unix command line and I am having some difficulty with cygwin.

I have a set of src files that I want to build and I also have the ndk files in a different directory (none of the paths have spaces in the names)

Every time I navigate to my source files and type the full path to my ndk-build file it says

You must set the TESSERACT_PATH variable to the Tesseract source
directory.

Please could someone help me in doing this?

Answer 1

At the bash% prompt, you could type

export TESSERACT_PATH=/home/SkyR/path/to/tesseract/src

Or you could edit your /home/SkyR/.profile file to add that same line, so that it would be available all the time.
