Install it

Install dependencies:

  # make depends

Build the systray:

  $ git clone 0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn && cd bitmask-vpn
  $ make build

You need at least go 1.11. If you have something older and are using ubuntu, you can do:

  make install_go

For other situations, have a look at https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu or https://golang.org/dl/

OSX

Using homebrew:

  $ git clone 0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn && cd bitmask-vpn
  $ make depends
  $ make build

Linux

Building the systray in linux will produce some -Wdeprecated-declarations warnings, like that:

cgo-gcc-prolog: In function ‘_cgo_3f9f61f961c9_Cfunc_gtk_font_button_get_font_name’:
cgo-gcc-prolog:5455:2: warning: ‘gtk_font_button_get_font_name’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h:106:0,
                 from ../../../go/src/github.com/gotk3/gotk3/gtk/gtk.go:48:
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtkfontbutton.h:96:23: note: declared here
 const gchar *         gtk_font_button_get_font_name  (GtkFontButton *font_button);
                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are expected and don't produce any problem on the systray.

Run it

The default build is a standalone systray. It still requires a helper and openvpn installed to work. For linux the helper is bitmask-root for windows and OSX there is a helper written in go.

To build and run it:

  $ make build
  $ build/bin/bitmask-vpn
