How to compile KeePassX 0.4 under Ubuntu 18.04?

Can someone download the source code and tell me how to compile KeePassX 0.4 for Ubuntu? I have no clue about programming! No matter what I paste into the terminal I get nothing. Please, help me someone, I beg you, Anonimus :)

Thanks!

  • If you are simply looking to implement the keepassx system of password control, you could install keepassx on Ubuntu with sudo apt install keepassx, or keepassxc or keepass2

After you download the source (currently the latest version of the 0.4 series is 0.4.4).



Extract the Tarball



tar -xvf keepassx-0.4.4.tar.gz


Fix the Source



The build process currently fails as standard in Ubuntu 18.04 due to a missing include directive. This needs to be added as follows:




  1. Open the source file keepassx/src/lib/random.cpp using a text editor.

  2. Add the line #include <unistd.h> immediately before the line #include <QCryptographicHash> and save the file.


After editing, the random.cpp file should look like:



...
#include <unistd.h>
#include <QCryptographicHash>
...


Install the Dependencies



sudo apt install qt4-default libxtst-dev build-essential


Build and Install



Ensure you are in the root folder of the source (~/Downloads/keepassx-0.4.4 for example).



qmake
make
sudo checkinstall make install


KeePassX V0.4.4 should now be available within the launcher.

    By the way using CheckInstall (sudo checkinstall make install) would be better as it creates deb-package of self-compiled application.
