Note: If you are building TSK for use with Plaso or the DFVFS, it is
strongly recommended that you build libewf, libvhdi and libvmdk
support into TSK by installing those libraries first.
+
+Note: by default, Java support is disabled in this build. If you
+require Java support, install a JDK (jdk, openjdk8, etc), source its
+profile script, and run sleuthkit.SlackBuild with JAVA=yes in the
+environment. Be warned that the Java build process downloads many
+files, therefore it requires network access (something SlackBuild
+scripts normally don't do).
