You need to install at least English language data file to TESSDATA_PREFIX

If both osd and eng trained data are Required to be downloaded by user, does it not make sense to include both of these as part of tesseract base package.

@Shreeshrii: leptonica is also must for tesseract and we do not included it to tesseract library. ;-)

To me You need to install at least English language data file to TESSDATA_PREFIX directory implies that english traineddata files are MANDATORY / REQUIRED for correct functioning of tesseract.

IMHO, It would make it much easier for users/developers using git as source if this along with osd.traineddata and other required files were included with source.

Probably an easy way would be to add sym links? from tesseract-ocr/tesseract/tessdata to tesseract-ocr/tessdata so that files have to updated only in tessdata repository.
