Building Truecrypt fully working 6.3a with GUI-HELP
Subject description: How to build Truecrypt 6.x for Puppy 4.xx from the sources with working GUI-Help

First you need of course the installed devx for your actual puppy version. Now you need the actual Source for Truecrypt - download it at

http://www.truecrypt.org

and the wxWidgets 2.8 library source code available at

http://www.wxwidgets.org

Don't use the 2.9 - does not work right now. And you need the header files for the RSA crypto API - get them from

ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-20/*.h

If you are using a Puppy Version before 4.31, you may need
/usr/bin/od
too - the octal dump program. Its an old unix program for dumping files in binary mode. Puppy 4.31 got the file in binary mode - puppy's before use the Busybox multicall binary - and there the functions are restricted.
so copy od from an actual puppy to your old 4.xx to get the truecrypt compiled.

Now go to /usr/src and extract the files like this and get the headers too

Code:

cd /usr/src
tar xf /mnt/home/wxWidgets-2.8.10.tar.gz
tar xf /mnt/home/TrueCrypt\ 6.3a\ Source.tar.gz
cd truecrypt-6.3a-source
wget ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-20/*.h

prerquisites done.

compilation is easy - we compile now first the static wxwidgets lib for truecrypt and then truecrypt itself.

Code:

make WX_ROOT=/usr/src/wxWidgets-2.8.10 wxbuild
make WXSTATIC=1

this will create truecrypt executable in Main. now we have truecrypt executable - but we still have problem truecrypt does not use nautilus als filemanager and puppy uses a special file handler. so we need some fixes on the puppy system itself. first at all - if we want to open the mounted drive/container from the gui - a "nautilus" fake. just type

Code:

echo "rox \$3" > /usr/local/bin/nautilus
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nautilus

this will create the nautilus filehandler for truecrypt.

and for a working help system for the truecrypt gui we need to patch the xdg-open handler.

Code:

geany /usr/local/bin/xdg-open

and enter those 5 lines after the first 2 #comment lines so it should lool like this

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#barryk 2005. partial update 2008.

#ADDED LINES FOR HTTP://

URLFILE=$1
if [ "`echo -n "$URLFILE" | head -c 7`" = "http://" ];then
/usr/local/bin/defaulthtmlviewer "$1"
exit
fi

#/ADDED LINES FOR HTTP://

AFILE="`basename "$1"`"
if [ "`echo -n "$AFILE" | grep '\.'`" = "" ];then

now we have a running truecrypt with all features the inventors intended - without changing anything in the source code. so this will probably work for all further truecrypt versions and puppy versions too.

EDIT1: you need to set in truecrypt preferences the "do not use kernel cryptographic services" on the System Integration Tab too.

will add pet if requests are made
