Windows ========== -Requirements for Building VeraCrypt for Windows: ------------------------------------------------- - -- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 (Professional Edition or compatible) -- Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 -- Microsoft Visual C++ 1.52 (available from MSDN Subscriber Downloads) -- Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7.1 (configured for Visual C++ 2010) -- Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 8.1 (needed for SHA-256 code signing) -- Microsoft Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0 (build 7600.16385.1) -- NASM assembler 2.08 or compatible -- YASM 1.3.0 or newer. -- gzip compressor -- upx packer (available at https://upx.github.io/) +A detailed guide on how to compile VeraCrypt on Windows can be found at: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/CompilingGuidelineWin.html IMPORTANT: The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, and in some cases (e.g. playback of HD DVD content) also the 32-bit editions, do not allow the VeraCrypt driver to run without an appropriate digital signature. Therefore, all .sys files in official VeraCrypt binary packages are digitally signed with the digital certificate of the IDRIX, which was issued by GlobalSign certification authority. At the end of each official .exe and .sys file, there are embedded digital signatures and all related certificates (i.e. all certificates in the relevant certification chain, such as the certification authority certificates, CA-MS cross-certificate, and the IDRIX certificate). Keep this in mind if you compile VeraCrypt and compare your binaries with the official binaries. If your binaries are unsigned, the sizes of the official binaries will usually be approximately 10 KiB greater than sizes of your binaries (there may be further differences if you use a different version of the compiler, or if you install a different or no service pack for Visual Studio, or different hotfixes for it, or if you use different versions of the required SDKs). - -Instructions for Building VeraCrypt for Windows: ------------------------------------------------- - -1) Create an environment variable 'MSVC16_ROOT' pointing to the folder 'MSVC15' - extracted from the Visual C++ 1.52 self-extracting package. - - Note: The 16-bit installer MSVC15\SETUP.EXE cannot be run on 64-bit Windows, - but it is actually not necessary to run it. You only need to extract the - folder 'MSVC15', which contains the 32-bit binaries required to build the - VeraCrypt Boot Loader. - -2) If you have installed the Windows Driver Development Kit in another - directory than '%SYSTEMDRIVE%\WinDDK', create an environment variable - 'WINDDK_ROOT' pointing to the DDK installation directory. - -3) Open the solution file 'VeraCrypt.sln' in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. - -4) Select 'All' as the active solution configuration and WIN32 as the active - platform. - -5) Build the solution. - -6) Select x64 as the active platform and build the solution again. - -7) Open the solution file 'VeraCrypt_vs2019.sln' in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. - -8) Select 'All' as the active solution configuration and ARM64 as the active - platform. - -9) Build the solution. - -6) If successful, there should be newly built VeraCrypt binaries in the - 'Release\Setup Files' folder. - Instructions for Signing and Packaging VeraCrypt for Windows: ------------------------------------------------------------- First, create an environment variable 'WSDK81' pointing to the Windows SDK for Windows 8.1 installation directory. The folder "Signing" contains a batch file (sign.bat) that will sign all VeraCrypt components using a code signing certificate present on the certificate store and also build the final installation setup and MSI package. The batch file suppose that the code signing certificate is issued by GlobalSign. This is the case for IDRIX's certificate. If yours is issued by another CA, then you should put its intermediate certificates in the "Signing" folder and modify sign.bat accordingly. In order to generate MSI packages, WiX Toolset v3.11 must be installed. VeraCrypt EFI Boot Loader: -------------------------- VeraCrypt source code contains pre-built EFI binaries under src\Boot\EFI. The source code of VeraCrypt EFI Boot Loader is licensed under LGPL and it is available at https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt-DCS. For build instructions, please refer to the file src\Boot\EFI\Readme.txt. II. Linux and Mac OS X ====================== +A detailed guide on how to build a dev environment and on how to compile VeraCrypt on Linux can be found at: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/CompilingGuidelineLinux.html + Requirements for Building VeraCrypt for Linux and Mac OS X: ----------------------------------------------------------- - GNU Make - GNU C++ Compiler 4.0 or compatible - Apple Xcode (Mac OS X only) - YASM 1.3.0 or newer (Linux only, x86/x64 architecture only) - pkg-config - wxWidgets 3.0 shared library and header files installed or wxWidgets 3.0 library source code (available at https://www.wxwidgets.org) - FUSE library and header files (available at https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse and https://osxfuse.github.io/) Instructions for Building VeraCrypt for Linux and Mac OS X: ----------------------------------------------------------- 1) Change the current directory to the root of the VeraCrypt source code. 2) If you have no wxWidgets shared library installed, run the following command to configure the wxWidgets static library for VeraCrypt and to build it: $ make WXSTATIC=1 WX_ROOT=/usr/src/wxWidgets wxbuild The variable WX_ROOT must point to the location of the source code of the wxWidgets library. Output files will be placed in the './wxrelease/' directory. 3) To build VeraCrypt, run the following command: $ make or if you have no wxWidgets shared library installed: |
