Before building or running this tool, you'll need the following dependencies installed:
At the moment I believe this tool is linux-only; issue reports or pull requests to improve portability are gratefully accepted.
make release is the main compile target.
If you want a bash-completion script, add the bash-completion target.
If you want mkinitcpio hooks add the initcpio target.
If you want ssh-askpass add the ssh-askpass target.
| Flag | Type | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
LONGEST_VALID_PASSPHRASE |
integer | 1024 | length after which passphrases are truncated |
WARN_ON_MEMORY_LOCK_ERRORS |
boolean | 1 | if 0, this will disable warnings when memory cannot be locked |
SETCAP_BINARY |
boolean | 1 | if 0, then make install will not attempt to add CAP_IPC_LOCK to the installed binary |
DEBUG |
N/A | unset | if set to any value, this will enable debug mode (enabling core dumps, assertions and symbols) |
Standard makefile variables (CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, DESTDIR, PREFIX) are respected.
You can set the maximum passphrase length (defaults to 1024; everything after this will be ignored) by appending LONGEST_VALID_PASSPHRASE=<some integer> after the list of targets.
You disable memory locking warnings (default to on) by setting WARN_ON_MEMORY_LOCK_ERRORS=0 (see the memory locking section below).
