How to I compile and install DNSCrypt?

[cyberhood]

Thanks tommyb., I've updated the first post in this topic to reflect that the tutorial is currently not usable due to the missing .deb files. Compiling from source should work (and is detailed on their website), but it's not high on my priority list to figure this all out right now. Might get around to it later

What does it mean that the .deb files are no longer hosted on Github?

Do you have a copy that you could share?

Where is compiling from source detailed on their website?

Thanks.

I don't have any files to share. See the website by tommyb., http://dnscrypt.org/, for details of compilation and source code packages.

Probably first install the package build-essential, so you have a compiler

hehe... ok.
1. I got the build-essential installed.
2.

Code: Select all

./configure && make -j2

seemed to work ok this time.
3. So is this correct?

Code: Select all

How do I know if it worked?
Thanks in advance.
