Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Would like to contribute

Hi,

I am working on a multi data content viewer, that will display several file
formats, including html, pdf, eml, tif, psd, visio, cdr, dbf, open office,
ms office, etc, as said before. Is there any guideline on how to embed
native libs into the module? And would it be better to embed a portable
LibreOffice into the module (some hundreds of megabytes, ~100 MB zipped) or
to ask the user to download and install LibreOffice to enable all module
features?

Regards,
Luis Nassif
