[SOLVED] Installing ZuluCrypt

[frapelli]

I'd like to install Zulucrypt, "a front end to cryptsetup. It makes it easy to use cryptsetup to manage encrypted volumes by providing a Qt based GUI and a simpler to use cli front end to cryptsetup".

Needed:

1. libmount-devel
2. libblkid-devel
3. Qt-devel
4. gcc
5. gcc-c++
6. cryptsetup-devel
7. cmake

In apt-get I do not find Qt-devel and gcc-c++.
Anybody can suggest which packages I should install to have those installed?

Anybody already succeded in installyn Zulucrypt in siduction?

Thanks.

[gerd]

apt-get install libqt4-dev g++

cryptsetup luksFormat <device>
e.g.:
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb2
or:
man cryptsetup

simpler than any frontend ...

If you use rpm-based howtos, you gotta translate package names. -devel translates to -dev mostly in debian.

Thanks to all.

Seems all dependencies have been installed, when I type the first command listed by the instruction file for building Zulucrypt:

Code Select Expand

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MINSIZEREL

I get:

Code Select Expand

Make Error at zuluCrypt-cli/CMakeLists.txt:16 (message):
 ERROR: could not find sys/mount.h header file

What is "mount.h header file", and how can I make it available?

Thanks

[devil]

I tried last night and got the same result. All packages that provide these header files are installed. I am clueless at the moment and have no time to look into it further.

Does debian have a different manner for searching headers than other distros?

did u clone the git -> https://code.google.com/p/zulucrypt/source/checkout ,
I guess yes.

cd to it.

Code Select Expand

mkdir build && cd build
ccmake ../ #(than press <c> to configure cmake, than <g> to generate)
cmake ../
make
su ...
make install

To uninstall it just type

Code Select Expand

make uninstall
as root in the build dirctory

thats works for me

edit, maybe you have to install cmake-curses-gui for ccmake

[devil]

No, we used a tarball.

mh, well
if u create a build directory after u expand the tarball und try the same steps as i posted above, i think it is also working fine.
But why not clone the git?

[devil]

Because i wanted to try what the thread-starter did.

It needs a little change in the sources for successfull building:

Code Select Expand


--- zulucrypt-4.6.1.orig/zuluCrypt-cli/CMakeLists.txt
+++ zulucrypt-4.6.1/zuluCrypt-cli/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -10,7 +10,7 @@
       
 message( STATUS "Found mntent.h  : " ${mntent} )
 
- find_file ( mount_sys sys/mount.h )
+ find_file ( mount_sys ${LIB_SUFFIX}/sys/mount.h )
 
 if(NOT mount_sys)
        message (FATAL_ERROR "ERROR: could not find sys/mount.h header file")

Then you can do

Code Select Expand


mkdir build && cd build
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ \
-DLIB_SUFFIX=/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MINSIZEREL
make

Btw, i have uploaded zulucrypt to our experimental repo.

If anyone tries this, give feedback please.
If it works reliably, we might keep it .

I installed it from repository.

It works if started as root. Started as normal user, it does not mount selected (encrypted) partition. I get messages like:

"Could not create mount point, invalid path or path already taken"

"Failed to open the volume, device may be already in use"

No matter in which folder I try to mount, included Home folder.

Partition mounted as root seem totally hidden when browsing as normal user.

Thanks

hallo everyone.
I am a developer of zuluCrypt.

I just googled "zuluCrypt" to see whats out there and this thread came up.

@towo
I use an rpm system and all header files are in "/usr/include".

Is it normal for this distro or debian distros to have header files in "lib/lib64" folders?

I will change the config files to reflect this if it is a standard location for header files.

Anything else particular in this distro i should tweak in my project?

@frapelli
Can you expand a little with your problem?

can you, for example, post the content of "zuluCrypt-test" command?

what version of zuluCrypt did you try?
you can know this by running "zuluCrypt-cli --version"

Thanks for trying zuluCrypt
