* Add missing macOS requirement for 'make package' We need packages for the last build step on macOS, update docs to reflect the requirement. * Add build instructions using homebrew On macOS, we can use a package manager to easily install dependencies. This simplifies onboarding and building Veracrypt. * Add flag to use homebrew packages When building, we can use prebuilt wxwidgets from homebrew to simplify and speed up local building. We also put the package behind a flag as it's optional during development. * Skip signing for local builds When building with homebrew, skip signing. This can be put behind a flag to enable, if needed. * Use system yasm on macOS if available The binary in the repo is not universal (x86_64) and therefore building fails on arm architecture if Rosetta is not installed. Use local yasm if available. * Build local arch only in development When building via homebrew and locally, build only the local arch which skips ASM for arm(Mx) for MacOS. This removes the need to have rosetta installed for building. * Fix compilation issue when COMPILE_ASM is undefined Use a conditional check for COMPILE_ASM not being false instead of true. This avoids passing the variable to other parts of the build script. * Set SDK 12 as the minimum requirement and target Align the requirement to SDK 12 in both the makefile and script, and update the comment to remove confusion. I chose to leave this on 12 to be on the side of err and support as many building platforms as possible, when we can support. The local script now also sets the target using the local sdk version. This should improve the local development experience. * Fix wrong architecture for macOS in x86 builds We now build only the current arch for local development builds in macOS. This change also fixes the x86 builds failing. * Add instructions brew backed macOS local builds Flags to build a local build using homebrew packages are not default and require parameter -b to build. We also don't build packages directly, which requires -p. * Fix wxwidgets not linking in local x86 macOS development builds * Clarify build location in the document

I. Windows
Requirements for Building VeraCrypt for Windows:
A detailed guide on how to build VeraCrypt on Windows can be found in the file doc/html/CompilingGuidelineWin.html. it is also available online 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 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 VeraCrypt on Linux can be found in the file doc/html/CompilingGuidelineLinux.html. it is also available online 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/)
- PCSC-lite library and header files (available at https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC)
Instructions for Building VeraCrypt for Linux and Mac OS X:
-
Change the current directory to the root of the VeraCrypt source code.
-
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 wxbuildThe 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.
-
To build VeraCrypt, run the following command:
$ makeor if you have no wxWidgets shared library installed:
$ make WXSTATIC=1 -
If successful, the VeraCrypt executable should be located in the directory 'Main'.
By default, a universal executable supporting both graphical and text user interface (through the switch --text) is built. On Linux, a console-only executable, which requires no GUI library, can be built using the 'NOGUI' parameter:
$ make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1 WX_ROOT=/usr/src/wxWidgets wxbuild
$ make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1
On MacOSX, building a console-only executable is not supported.
Mac OS X specifics:
Under MacOSX, the SDK for OSX 11.3 is used by default. To use another version of the SDK (i.e. 10.15), you can export the environment variable VC_OSX_TARGET:
$ export VC_OSX_TARGET=10.15
For development dependencies management, you can use homebrew.
$ brew install pkg-config yasm wxwidgets
You also need system dependencies
$ brew install --cask macfuse packages
After installating dependencies via brew, you can build a local development build
$ ./src/Build/build_veracrypt_macosx.sh -b
If you want to build the package, you also need to pass -p to the build script above. The built
executable will be in .src/Main
If you prefer to build from sources, or without homebrew, pkg-config and packages must be installed.
Get pkg-config from https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz and compile using the following commands :
$ ./configure --with-internal-glib
$ make
$ sudo make install
After making sure pkg-config is available, download and install OSXFuse from https://osxfuse.github.io/
The script build_veracrypt_macosx.sh available under "src/Build" performs the full build of VeraCrypt including the creation of the installer pkg. It expects to find the wxWidgets 3.1.2 sources at the same level as where you put VeraCrypt sources (i.e. if "src" path is "/Users/joe/Projects/VeraCrypt/src" then wxWidgets should be at "/Users/joe/Projects/wxWidgets-3.1.2")
The build process uses Code Signing certificates whose ID is specified in src/Main/Main.make (look for lines containing "Developer ID Application" and "Developer ID Installer"). You'll have to modify these lines to put the ID of your Code Signing certificates or comment them if you don't have one.
Because of incompatibility issues with OSXFUSE, the SDK 10.9 generates a VeraCrypt binary that has issues communicating with the OSXFUSE kernel extension. Thus, we recommend using a different OSX SDK version for building VeraCrypt.
To build the installation package, you will need packages
III. FreeBSD
FreeBSD is supported starting from version 11. The build requirements and instructions are the same as Linux except that gmake should be used instead of make.
