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 (http://netbeans.org/)
|
|
Note: IDE is no longer required just to build and run Autopsy,
|
|
but it is a recommended IDE to use for development of Autopsy modules.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Compile Autopsy
|
|
4a) using Netbeans IDE:
|
|
- Start NetBeans IDE and open the Autopsy project.
|
|
- Choose to build the Autopsy project / module. It is the highest
|
|
level project that will then cause the other modules to be compiled.
|
|
|
|
4b) without Netbeans IDE (requires JDK and ant >= 1.7.1):
|
|
- from root directory of Autopsy source execute:
|
|
ant build
|
|
(to build Autopsy)
|
|
ant run
|
|
(to run Autopsy)
|
|
|
|
|
|
BACKGROUND:
|
|
Here are some notes to shed some light on what is going on during
|
|
the build process.
|
|
|
|
- Building the TSK library and JAR file place the files inside of
|
|
the TSK directory.
|
|
|
|
- NetBeans uses ant to build Autopsy. The build target will locate
|
|
TSK (and LIBEWF) based on the environment variables and copy the
|
|
needed JAR and library files into the DataModel module in the Autopsy
|
|
project (see build-X.xml 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.
|
|
|
|
- Everytime that you do a source code update of TSK, make sure you
|
|
rebuild both the dll and the JAR file.
