Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, TrueCrypt has been dropped by the initial developers and so, two TrueCrypt forks have been created: CipherShed and GostCrypt.
The latest version available is GostCrypt 1.0, which has been released a while ago, being based on TrueCrypt 7.1a.
In this article I will show you how to install GostCrypt 1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr and derivative systems: Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, LXLE 14.04, Peppermint Five, Deepin 2014 and Linux Lite 2.0.
Follow the instructions exactly, in order to get a successful installation.
Install the needed dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libwxgtk2.8-dev nasm pkg-config git wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-dev libfuse-dev libfuse2 libgtk2.0-dev
Download GostCrypt, extract the archive and cd to the extracted folder:
$ cd ~
$ wget gostcrypt.org/download/1.0/linux/GostCrypt_Linux_1.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf GostCrypt_Linux_1.0.tar.gz
$ cd GostCrypt_Linux_1.0
Download the missing header files and set the propper PKCS11_INC temporary path:
$ wget ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-20/pkcs11f.h ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-20/pkcs11t.h ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-20/pkcs11.h
$ export PKCS11_INC=~/GostCrypt_Linux_1.0
Compile GostCrypt:
$ make
$ LIBS=-ldl make
For an easier usage, create this symlink:
$ sudo ln -sf ~/GostCrypt_Linux_1.0/Main/gostcrypt /usr/bin/gostcrypt
To start CipherShed, just open a terminal, type ciphershed and hit enter.
Optional, to remove gostcrypt, do:
$ sudo rm -r ~/GostCrypt_Linux_1.0 /usr/bin/gostcrypt
