Introduction

The OpenBSD port of Password Safe is currently in BETA. This means that (1) you should take care to keep copies of the database to protect against possible loss of data due to bugs, and (2) there are several unimplemented features. Nonetheless, we feel that this is good enough to release as an early beta to gather feedback from a wider audience.

Supported

This has only been tested:

  • OpenBSD 7.2 amd64 with wx 3.0

If you build it on a different version/arch (like arm64), please send patches!

Known not working

Requirements

Here are the packages/tools required for building "pwsafe".

  • archivers/zip
  • devel/gmake
  • devel/cmake
  • devel/googletest
  • misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid
  • lang/clang38
  • textproc/xerces-c3
  • x11-toolkits/wxgtk30
  • wxWidgets-gtk3
  • libmagic
  • xerces-c
  • gettext-tools (for xgettext, to build helpfiles).

On OpenBSD 7.2, I could not find the 'zip' utility. "pkg_info -Q zip" and all variants of it failed to get anything. Curiously, the 'unzip' binary comes with the os. But 'zip' is somehow missing.

Before you do what's below, check if you already have the "zip" command from somewhere. "which zip" will tell you. If you have "zip" already, skip this step.

There are two ways of dealing with this:

a. Comment out the line that builds helpfiles. This is the least painful way if you don't need PasswworSafe's bundled help content:

add_subdirectory (help) # online help

		OR

b. Download the binary zip package "zip-3.0p1.tgz" from one of OpenBSD's mirrors, e.g. https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.2/packages/amd64/

Install it like this

 pkg_add -n zip-3.0p1.tgz        # check if it'd install cleanly
     pkg_add zip-3.0p1.tgz           # actually install it

Build

  1. Create the build directory

    mkdir build; cd build;

  2. Create the makefiles

    cmake -D wxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/local/bin/wxgtk2u-3.0-config -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang38 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++38 ..

  3. Start the build process

    gmake

  4. Your pwsafe binary is in build (your current directory)

  5. At start you get a warning about the help system. Copy the generated help file of your language (e.g. helpEN.zip) to /usr/share/passwordsafe/help/helpEN.zip.

  6. If for some reason you cannot use CMake, try the classic Makefile's. Try "gmake unicoderelease" or "gmake unicodedebug" in the pwsafe root dir. Note that you must use gmake: these Makefiles don't work with BSD make. The generated binary will be in src/ui/wxWidgets/GCCUnicode{Release,Debug}/pwsafe
