This file outlines what it takes to build Autopsy from source.
Note that it currently only works out of the box on Windows. We
are working on getting the process working under non-WIndows systems.

It generally works, but needs some custom mangling to find the
correct C libraries.

2e) Set TSK_HOME environment variable to the root directory of TSK
2f) On Non-Windows systems, you will need to do a 'make install'
from the TSK root directory to install the libraries and such in
the needed places (i.e. '/usr/local').
3) Get gstreamer Setup
If Autopsy installer is not used, add the following entries to Windows PATH environment variable
(replace GSTREAMER_INSTALL_DIR with the location of the gstreamer root directory):
GSTREAMER_INSTALL_DIR\bin\;
GSTREAMER_INSTALL_DIR\lib\gstreamer-0.10\;
If you don't have gstreamer already, you can find a zipped gstreamer distribution in
AUTOPSYROOT/thirdparty/gstreamer
3) Get gstreamer Setup. gstreamer is used to view video files. You
can either download it and install it or manually by unziping the
version that is included in the 'thirdparty/gstreamer' folder. You
will need the 'bin' and 'lib/gstreamer-1.0' folders to be in your
Windows PATH environment variable.
NOTE: This has not been fully tested in non-Windows environments
yet, so we don't have instructions for that yet.

Here are some notes to shed some light on what is going on during

- On a Windows system, the ant target copies all needed libraries
to the autopsy folder. On a Unix system, the ant taget copies only
the JNI library and then relies on the other libraries (libtsk,
libewf, zilb, etc.) to be installed on the system in their standard
locations (i.e. /usr/local).
- Everytime that you do a source code update of TSK, make sure you
rebuild both the dll and the JAR file.
