Nightly Snapshots

Nightly snapshots of the source code are made and stored here for 7 days. A nightly snapshot is a copy of the bleeding edge source code. It may contain features that have not been fully tested and it may not even build. Use these if you want to try a new feature that has been added, but not yet released.

The files are named based on the code branch and the date. The "trunk" code branch is the latest of the unreleased code. There could also be snapshots of version branches, such as the "3.0" branch that is used for development of "3.0" releases (such as 3.0.2 and 3.0.3).

Note that the contents of these .tar.gz files are not the same as a normal source code release. These files do not have a configure script in them because the autoconf / automake / libtool scripts have not been run on them.

To use a nightly snapshot, your system must have autoconf, automake, and libtool installed.

1. Download a snapshot and open it.
2. Change into the newly created directory.
3. Run ./bootstrap
4. Build as normal using ./configure and then make.

If you have find any errors with the build, please send e-mail to sleuthkit-developers <at> lists {dot} sourceforge [dot] net.
