ocropy currently depends on gcc.

Check that gcc is installed on your system.

To ocropy team:
The native code can be dropped and replaced by np.einsum(), which is very fast.

I'm not sure if ocropy was ever tested to work on windows.

a) Ocropy is currently not supported to run on windows directly, also it might work with some hacks. Usually, for windows I would suggest you rather to use this docker container. However, some other people tried to run ocropy on windows already, see #73.

This sounds interesting. Can you create a PR for this?

I will do so :-)

Another possible way to run ocropy on Windows 10:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux

I didn't try it (I only have Linux)

I am running Ocropy on bash for windows 10. It works fine. By default it does not run the GUI and so you cannot see any plots. I am not sure that it can.

solved this issue on windows itself.installed mingw gcc of latest version and compatible with python
eg. 64 bit mngwgcc on 64 bit python 2.7.14 on 64 bit windows 10. thanks for support
