For that, your clone needs to have all submodules (`googletest`, `test`) included. To do so, either specify `--recurse-submodules` during the initial clone, or run `git submodule update --init --recursive NAME` for each `NAME` later. If `configure` already created those directories (blocking the clone), remove them first (or `make distclean`), then clone and reconfigure.

Have a look at [the README](./README.md) and [testing README](./test/testing/README.md) and the [documentation](https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Compiling-%E2%80%93-GitInstallation.html#unit-test-builds) on installation.

In short, after running `configure` from the build directory of your choice, to build the library and CLI, run `make`. To test it, run `make check`. To build the training tools, run `make training`.

As soon as your changes are building and tests are succeeding, you can publish them. If you have not already, please [fork](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/) tesseract (somewhere) on GitHub, and push your changes to that fork (in a new branch). Then [submit as PR](https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork).

Please also keep track of reports from CI (automated build status) and Coverity/LGTM (quality scan). When the indicators show deterioration after your changes, further action may be required to improve them.
