Software requirements

Packages

We use Debian as our development environment. This was a natural choice, as the CryptoBox-LiveCD is also based on Debian. Other distributions should work too, of course - YMMV.

required:

• dfsbuild

• subversion

• chroot

recommended:

• apt-cacher, apt-proxy or approx

• qemu

• curl

Kernel

If you want to use qemu to test your CryptoBox in a virtual environment, then you will need the tun/tap kernel feature.

CONFIG_TUN=m

Get the source

Download the latest release from our subversion-Repository:

svn checkout https://svn.systemausfall.org/svn/cryptobox/trunk 

First build

run scripts/cbox-build.sh release as root - hopefully, there should be no errors

Hint: This step will fail, if you did not install apt-cacher. See CryptoBoxDevCustomBuild for details on how to change the build-configuration settings (in this case: mirror in dfs-cbox.conf).

Finished

Now you can start to pariticipate in the development of the CryptoBox or simply customize your own CryptoBox-LiveCD.

See CryptoBoxDevWorkFlow for details of how to use the developer's tools of the CryptoBox.

CryptoBoxDevCustomBuild shows some examples for local customizations of the CryptoBox.
