 Note that to compile the Java bindings  you will need to have a JDK
 to be installed, and by default the Oracle JDK on Windows is installed

 The Visual Studio Solution file has three build targets: Debug, Debug_NoLibs, and Release.  Debug and Release require that libewf exists (to provide support for E01 image files) and that zlib exists (to provide support for HFS+ compressed data).   Debug_NoLibs does not require libewf or zlib and you should be able to compile Debug_NoLibs without any additional setup.
 
+
+
 The steps below outline the process required to compile the Debug and Release targets.
 
-1) Download libewf-20130128 (or later) from:
+1) Download libewf-20130128 (or later).  The official releases are from:
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/libewf/
 
+If you want to build 64-bit libraries though, download a version that we've upgraded:
+    https://github.com/sleuthkit/libewf_64bit
+
+
 2) Open archive file and follow the README instructions in libewf to build libewf_dll (at the time of this writing, that includes downloading the zlib dll). Note that TSK will use only the Release version of libewf_dll.  Later steps also depend on the zlib dll being built inside of libewf.  Note that libewf will need to be converted to Visual Studio 2010 and be upgraded to support a 64-bit build.
 
+
 3) Set the LIBEWF_HOME environment variable to point to the libewf folder that you created and built in step 2. 
 
+
 4) If you want to build libtsk_jni for the Java JNI bindings, then set the JDK_HOME environment variable to point to the top directory of your Java SDK.
 
+
 5) Open the TSK Visual Studio Solution file, tsk-win.sln, in the win32 directory. 
 
+
 6) Compile a Debug, Debug_NoLibs, or Release version of the libraries and executables.  The resulting libraries and executables on a 32-bit build will be put in win32/Debug, win32/Debug_NoLibs, or win32/Release as appropriate.  A 64-bit build will put them into the win32/x64 folders. You can change the type of build using the pulldown in Visual Studio and switching between Win32 and x64.
 
+
 7) Note that the libraries and executables will depend on the libewf and zlib dll files (which are copied to the TSK build directories).

 Refer to the API docs at http://sleuthkit.org/sleuthkit/docs/api-docs/ for details on how to use the library in an application.
