[ruediger]

See the warnings CMake produces:

1. BUILD_STATIC is a hack and will lead to issues.
2. It seems you have an old version of Tesseract. What version of Tesseract are you using? What version of Fedora?

[ruediger]

You could also try the autotools branch. But that will definitely require a Tesseract version 3 or higher

[andusvan]

Fedora has a Tesseract 3 Version, so it works.
I run into this error too, because I run the configure before installing tesseract. After I remove the source and unpacked it again, run configure it worked without problems...

[Kcchouette]

It has succeed for me using #66 (comment)
Edit: Using https://github.com/bubonic/VobSub2SRT seems working like a charm without changing branch and using tesseract 4

[Kcchouette]

why did you close the issue @ssbarnea? Do you find a way to fix this issue on this repo?

[ssbarnea]

Ticket was 3 years old, same as my used of VobSub2SRT. Anyone else is welcomed to pursue it.
