This guide describes how to set up a Linux System to build VeraCrypt from source and how to perform compilation. < br >
The procedure for a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system is described here as an example, the procedure for other Linux systems is analogous.

< p > Remarks: < br >
< ul >
< li >
If you have not installed wxWidgets like described here, you may have to modify the make statement to reference to the right file: < br >
< code > make WXSTATIC=1< / code >
< / li >
< li >
By default, a universal executable supporting both graphical and text user interface (through the switch --text) is built. < br >
On Linux, a console-only executable, which requires no GUI library, can be built using the 'NOGUI' parameter: < br >
< code >
make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1 WX_ROOT=/usr/src/wxWidgets wxbuild < br >
make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1
< / code >
< / li >
< / ul >
Steps:
< ol >
< li >
Open a terminal
< / li >
< li >
Execute the following commands: < br >
< code >
cd ~/VeraCrypt/src < br >
make
< / code >
< / li >
< li >
If successful, the VeraCrypt executable should be located in the directory 'Main'.
