Bugzilla Bug 210175

Standard truecrypt 5.0x build can not be run without running Xserver. But there
is possibility to build it without gui support, and than it can be uses purely
console.
The solution (setting --disable-gui flag) is described in thread:
http://forums.truecrypt.org/viewtopic.php?t=8645
I think that a flag should be added to gentoo ebuild based on this information.

Reproducible: Always

No it doesn't (read carefully - you need to login only to write posts ;) )

But I can paste:

" asked over on the wxWidgets mailing list about a non-GUI version
of wxWidgets, and it turns out that you can add the --disable-gui option
when running configure in the wxWidgets build, so I gave that a whirl,
and now I'm trying to come up with a patch that throws in

#if wxUSE_GUI == 1

directives in enough places that the source will build a true text only version
(still a work in progress :-)."

"OK, here it is, all my truecrypt patches and build scripts and wot-not,
including a patch to enable a NOGUI=1 flag on Makefile which will
build a truecrypt utterly devoid of any GUI (much smaller executable
and suitable for running on servers which don't even have X installed):

Yes it does.

I added a modified version of this.
Thanks.

It would be great if you can push our patches to upstream, I get no response...

I'm regular user of TC .... (I found the solution searching how to run TC
without GUI on TC forum)
