This contains external dependencies for Tesseract.

Building this repo for the first time will require internet (to pull the necessary repositories). After that, internet will only be required if the downloaded source code is deleted (it is in build/tesseract_ext). If it is desired that cmake check for updated versions of the packages, the flag UPDATE_DISCONNECTED may be set to OFF (it defaults to ON) with catkin build --force-cmake --cmake-args -DUPDATE_DISCONNECTED=OFF.
