Re: [sleuthkit-users] TSK 4.3.0 Release

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

All that should be required is some autoconf/automake magic to get libvmdk and libvhdi working with TSK on Linux / OS X. We just haven’t had the cycles.  I’ll be honest that it is my intent to get PostgreSQL, virtual machine formats, etc. in to the auto* build process when start on these efforts, but other things come up and we’ve been slow enough with getting releases out that I don’t want to hold them up even more.

So, if someone can update configure.ac, etc. to look for the libraries and test them, we’d love a pull request!
