Description Markus Leuthold 2023-07-16 20:05:18 UTC

opencl in tesseract-ocr is considered experimental, according to this thread (https://groups.google.com/g/tesseract-ocr/c/eIQbsurfSEM/m/mVb_4GF1BgAJ) it is considered just an entry point for possible developers. Their own doucmentantion (https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/TesseractOpenCL.html) states: "Important note: OpenCL support in Tesseract is still considered experimental. There are some major bugs associated with it (see issue 837). Building Tesseract with OpenCL support is not recommended (for any version of Tesseract), unless you are a developer and want to improve the OpenCL code"

Please remove the flag "--enable-opencl" from https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/tesseract-ocr/tesseract-ocr.spec

This would also resolve https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1207570

PS: I indeed encounter problems with the opencl code path
