Bugzilla Bug 111394

Truecrypt - http://www.truecrypt.org/ - has been now released finally
supporting
linux as well. This great tools is one of very few solutions for mixed
win/linux
environment. Please consider creating ebuild of it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Could we atleast just get an ebuild for it if not in the official portage tree
please?

Ok, so I figured I give it a shot and try to do this myself. So far I had to
edit the build script that was included with the source tarball from truecrypt.
I have attached that. Then I tried giving it a shot with this ebuild:

# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

DESCRIPTION="Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003
and Linux"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.trucrypt.org/"
SRC_URI="http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads/truecrypt-${PV}-source-code.tar.gz"

LICENSE="CUSTOM"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~amd64"
IUSE=""

src_compile() {
	sh Linux/build.sh || die "build failed"
}

src_install() {
	sh Linux/install.sh || die "install failed"
}



Now when I try to emerge it, it fails with this:

>>> Source unpacked.
Checking build requirements...
Building kernel module... Linux/build.sh: line 66: cd: Kernel: No such file or
directory
Error: Failed to build kernel module

!!! ERROR: app-crypt/truecrypt-4.0 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 14, Exitcode 1
!!! build failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Not sure how to fix this in the build.sh script.

Created an attachment (id=72232) [details]
source tarball with fixed build.sh

changed all instances of "-1" to "-n 1"

Ok, so changing line 66 of the build.sh from "cd Kernel" to 
"cd /var/tmp/portage/truecrypt-4.0/work/truecrypt-4.0/Linux/Kernel" got me a
little further, but now fails with:

>>> Source unpacked.
Checking build requirements...
Building kernel module... Makefile:530:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-acid2/arch/amd64/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-acid2/arch/amd64/Makefile'.  Stop.
make: *** [truecrypt] Error 2
Error: Failed to build kernel module

Ok, made some more progress and attached the ebuild and modified source tarball
for distfiles. Now I can get it to build the modules and go through the install,
but during the testing of truecrypt in the install.sh script it fails and I
can't tell why.

Created an attachment (id=72238) [details]
truecrypt-4.0-source-code.tar.gz

includes fixed build.sh script and a semi-working install.sh. The install
script will go through, but fails on testing truecrypt.

Created an attachment (id=72239) [details]
app-crypt/truecrypt/truecrypt-4.0.ebuild

Here's the ebuild I threw together.

Please make a patch
diff -pur olddir newdir > patch

instead of modifying the source tarball

Ok, well that would be starting to get a little too far beyond my skills. I
don't even really know how I got this as far as I have really. It's my first
ebuild and I'm learning as go. I would actually prefer if someone that knew what
they were doing would be kind enough to write an ebuild for us.

Thanks for the work so far Ryan...  I too am anxious for this...
