[SOLVED] How to install leptonica 1.85 in Debian 12

How to install leptonica 1.85 in Debian 12

Tried to use https://github.com/Sicos1977/TesseractOCR Nuget package in Debian 12. It looks that it requires new version of leptonica libleptonica-1.85.0.dll.so which is not avaliable in Debian:

#apt install liblept5

liblept5 is already the newest version (1.82.0-3+b3).

Installing leptonica using instructions from

https://github.com/danbloomberg/leptonica

apt install git gcc
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh # "./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat" for powershell
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install leptonica

Throws error

error: vcpkg was unable to detect the active compiler's information.

gcc is installed:

#gcc --version
gcc (Debian 12.2.0-14+deb12u1) 12.2.0
