Create Dockerfile for building bulk_extractor #159

Open jonstewart opened 3 years ago

jonstewart commented 3 years ago

Docker has emerged as a popular technology in build processes. Building (and especially cross-compiling) bulk_extractor is somewhat complicated and the CONFIGURE_FEDORA shell script handles installation of many of the necessary dependencies. A Dockerfile shipped with bulk_extractor would provide a somewhat more structured approach to the script and then be replicable to any system with Docker installed—Linux, macOS, Windows. In particular, a number of CI/CD build tools have support for running builds within Docker so you could define workflows to build and test PRs automatically, etc., and these are often free for open source projects.

I haven't had problems building on either Ubuntu or on MacOS. Did you look at the CI scripts?

Of course, that's not testing with libewf or lightgrep.
