Tess4j : java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library

Im using tess4j.jar in my Eclipse project. When i run it on eclipse my project is working fine, but when i try to run the exported runnable .jar file it always fails due to "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'libtesseract302'" error.

I tried to fix it with solutions from similar posts but nothing worked.

  1. Located the 'libtesseract302' and 'liblept168.dll' file into a "dll" folder an added it as source folder.
  2. I´m running java 32bit and confirmed that the dlls are also 32bit dlls.

Error log:

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'libtesseract302': Can't obtain InputStream for win32-x86/libtesseract302.dll

Solution

  • If the DLLs are packaged in the JAR file, they will need to be extracted. Then set jna.library.path system property to the location of the DLL files (see Tutorial).
