Building SimpleCaptcha

Buliding SimpleCaptcha from source is intended to be a painless process:

    # git clone git://simplecaptcha.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/simplecaptcha/simplecaptcha
    # cd simplecaptcha
    # ant

To build the Java5 version, check out the java1.5 branch and build:

    # git checkout java1.5
    # ant

Note: If you get errors during the build about various things related to javax.servlet, try setting the $CATALINA_HOME environment variable to a directory containing the servlet-api.jar. For example:

    # export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
