Pre-compiled libyal libraries

These are binary files of libyal libraries which are compiled with Visual Studio 2019.

What's the difference from original source code?

libvshadow

I applied a patch for reading recovered catalog file and store file with vss_carver to libvshadow.

The patch has been published on my repository.

libvmdk

I applied a patch for supporting VMDK files which have encoding="Shift_JIS" to libvmdk. I mentioned it on my tweet. The patched libvmdk can read them without modifying VMDK.

The patch has been published on my repository.

libewf and libewf-legacy

libewf and libewf-legacy were compiled without patches.

When was the source code done git clone?

I did git clone on dates below:

libvshadow: Mar. 10, 2020
libvmdk: Mar. 9, 2020
libewf: Mar. 9, 2020
libewf-legacy: Mar. 11, 2020

Compiling conditions

Using tools below for compiling.

Visual Studio 2019
Python 3.7.6
Dokany 1.3.1
zlib 1.2.11
bzip2 1.0.6

Installation

Windows

git clone https://github.com/mnrkbys/precompiled_libyal_libs.git

If you want to use Python binding libraries (e.g. pyvmdk.pyd), you have to put *.pyd, lib*.dll, and zlib.dll in <Python37_install_folder>\Lib\site-packages folder (pyewf.pyd needs bzip2.dll too).

Linux/macOS

I recommend to compile them by yourself. Please follow the building instructions of their wiki page.

bzip2.def

I am offering bzip2.def file in libewf directory. It's called "Module Definition File".

This file will be needed, if you compile libewf by yourself with Visual Studio. You have to set the path of bzip2.def below:

bzip2 Property -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Module Definition File
