Assertion failed: Typed arrays 2 must be run on a little-endian system

[Kerim Güney]

Came across this when running tesseract.js, which surprised me because it worked just fine a few months ago. Checked to see whether some update introduced this issue but I'm using the same version as I did in the past.

Couldn't even find the assertion error in tesseract.js' source. After searching a bit, I think it's an issue with Node 8. A few months ago, I ran this application in Node 6 without issues.

I'm seeing the same issue with node version 6.11.x - don't think its related to node itself. The assertion can be found in tesseract.js-core/index.js

Odd. I am pretty sure I had gotten it to work in Node 6. I'll see if I can get it to work again.

As far as I understand, tesseract-core is generated using Emscripten, which generates code that needs a little-endian host to run on. Would like to see that working on the i though...

@abmusse, can you please do some level of triage on this one?

Can you provide an example that reproduces the error?

No updates in a while. Please re-open if still having issues.
