Install DFF on Gentoo Without ebuild

In order to compile and run DFF you will need to install some dependencies :

• CMake >= 2.8
• Swig >= 1.38
• PyQt4 >= 4.6
• optional :
• fuse
• libbfio separate installation required to have libpff working
• libpff without shipped libbfio, install it after libbfio
• libewf
• afflib

Use the following commands to get all these dependencies :

#> emerge -av cmake

#> echo ">=dev-lang/swig-1.3.38" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

#> emerge -av swig

#> echo ">=dev-python/PyQt4-4.6" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

#> emerge -av PyQt4

#> emerge -av app-forensics/libewf

#> emerge -av sys-fs/fuse

Install DFF on Gentoo

Install DFF on Gentoo Using ebuild
You can use layman to add the pentoo overlay which contain the ebuild, thanks to ikelos and pentoo team providing it ! Have a look at their trac for latest DFF version supported and changes comments.
If you don't have layman installed:

#> emerge layman

#> echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf

Then add the pentoo overlay :

#> layman -a pentoo

Then you can emerge DFF and it's dependencies. DFF ebuild is masked for some architecture so, for example on x86 don't forget to unmask :

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge dff

or on an amd64 compatible architecture :

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge dff

Debian-based distribution

Debian, Ubuntu, Kbuntu, etc.

There are two different packages for Debian, depending on your architecture : 32 or 64 bits.

For 32 bits, download dff-1.2.0_i386.deb

For 64 bits, download dff-1.2.0_amd64.deb

If you do not wish to receive news about DFF just leave the form empty and directly click on the Download button.

You can install DFF using the command dpkg in a shell; or use the synaptic graphical (GUI) package helper and installer.

To install using synaptic, double click on the .deb package and synaptic will check your system for the required dependencies and install them, if required, prior to installing DFF.

 

To install via the command line (shell) with dpkg, you must first install the required dependencies before installing DFF. To install the dependencies via the command line (shell), use the following command:

#> aptitude -y install python-qscintilla2 python-qt4 python-magic python-qt4-phonon

Now you can use this command to install DFF, depending on your architecture :

#> if [ $(uname -m | grep '64') ]; then dpkg -i dff-1.2.0_amd64.deb; else dpkg -i dff-1.2.0_i386.deb; f
