Errors building Leptonica for use with Tesseract

[carlosiosio]

I am attempting to build Leptonica to work with Tesseract and am getting errors. Windows environment with cmake and MINGW4. I have installed SW and VCPKG. Here are steps taken:

git clone https://github.com/DanBloomberg/leptonica.git
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh # "./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat" for powershellcd vc
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install leptonica

./vcpkg install giflib:x86-windows-static libjpeg-turbo:x86-windows-static liblzma:x86-windows-static libpng:x86-windows-static tiff:x86-windows-static zlib:x86-windows-static
./vcpkg install giflib:x64-windows-static libjpeg-turbo:x64-windows-static liblzma:x64-windows-static libpng:x64-windows-static tiff:x64-windows-static zlib:x64-windows-static
cd ../leptonica
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"

I am getting the following error. There are seven total at this stage, but I am only including the first.

$ cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"

Note that the file that cannot be opened is pointing at the D: volume, which does not exist.

Not sure if I have missed some steps, or have some other setup issue. I previously tried to follow the instructions on this page:
https://github.com/charlesw/tesseract/blob/master/docs/Compling_tesseract_and_leptonica.md

but to no avail. I am hoping someone may either have seen similar issues before, be familiar enough with the environment to help, or better yet, have a secret formula for building Leptonica and Tesseract (ideally as static library if possible)

Hey @carlosiosio - let me help you out since I compiled Leptonica today on my Windows machine.

I just used two two docs and I worked out well:
