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 GNU autoconf / automake toolchain to create makefiles.
|
|
Also, the configure script is automatically generated using autoreconf.
|
|
|
|
Compiling EncFS is a three-step process:
|
|
|
|
autoreconf -if
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Optional, but strongly recommended, is running the test suite
|
|
to verfify 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 use the `--prefix` option to `configure` to specify the
|
|
install prefix.
|
|
|
|
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 libtool libintl
|
|
|
|
Compiling on Debian and Ubuntu
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
We use Travis CI to automatically build-test every commit:
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/vgough/encfs)
|
|
|
|
The [Travis configuration file .travis.yml](.travis.yml) therefore
|
|
always contains up-to-date instructions to build EncFS on Ubuntu
|
|
(Travis uses Ubuntu build machines).
