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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEPS:
|
|
1) Get Java Setup
|
|
1a) Download and install 32-bit version of JDK (32-bit is currently
|
|
needed even if you have a 64-bit system).
|
|
|
|
1b) Ensure that JDK_HOME is set to the root JDK directory.
|
|
|
|
1c) Download and install Netbeans IDE 7.0.1 (http://netbeans.org/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Get Sleuth Kit Setup
|
|
2a) Download and build the release version of Libewf2 (20120304 or later). All you need is the dll file. Note that you will get a launching error if you use libewf 1.
|
|
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/libewf/
|
|
|
|
2b) Set LIBEWF_HOME environment variable to root directory of LIBEWF
|
|
|
|
2c) Download and build release version of Sleuth Kit (TSK) 4.0. You
|
|
need to build the tsk_jni project.
|
|
- At the time of this writing, 4.0 is not released. You can get it from either
|
|
-- GIT: git://github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit.git
|
|
-- SVN: http://svn.github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit.git
|
|
|
|
2d) Build the TSK JAR file by typing 'ant' in bindings/java from a
|
|
command line or by opening the project in NetBeans.
|
|
|
|
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. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Compile Autopsy
|
|
4a) Start NetBean IDE and open the Autopsy project.
|
|
|
|
4b) Choose to build the Autopsy project / module. It is the highest
|
|
level project that will then cause the other modules to be compiled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BACKGROUND:
|
|
Here are some notes to shed some light on what is going on during
|
|
the build process.
|
|
|
|
- NetBeans uses ant to build Autopsy. The build target locates TSK
|
|
(and LIBEWF) based on the environment variables and copies the
|
|
needed JAR and library files into the DataModel module in the Autopsy
|
|
project (see build-unix.xml and build-windows.xml in the root
|
|
directory for details). If you want to use the debug version of
|
|
the TSK dll, then edit the copy line in the build-windows.xml file
|
|
to copy from the Debug folder.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
