This document provides generic information for compiling EncFS.

|
|
If you are looking for specific instructions for your distribution,
|
|
take a look at the page

**[Installing EncFS](https://github.com/vgough/encfs/wiki/Installing-Encfs)**
|

in the wiki.

Compiling EncFS
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
EncFS uses the CMake toolchain to create makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Steps to build EncFS:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Optional, but strongly recommended, is running the test suite
|
|
to verify that the generated binaries work as expected
|
|
(runtime: 20 seconds)
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
The compilation process creates two executables, encfs and encfsctl in
|
|
the encfs directory. You can install to in a system directory via
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
. If the default path (`/usr/local`) is not where you want things
|
|
installed, then set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option when running cmake. Eg:
|
|
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local
|
|
|
|
Encfs and encfsctl can also be installed by hand. They need no special
|
|
permissions. You may also want the man pages encfs.1 and encfsctl.1.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
EncFS depends on a number of libraries:
|
|
|
|
openssl fuse boost-serialization gettext libintl librlog
|
|
|
|
Compiling on Debian and Ubuntu
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
We use separate [Drone.io](https://drone.io/) and [CircleCi](https://circleci.com/) builds to automatically
|
|
test every commit. See the README.md file for current build status.
|
|
|
|
The build configuration files (.drone.yml and circle.yml) therefore
|
|
always contains up-to-date instructions to build EncFS on Ubuntu distributions.
