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
Bitmaskd
Is also posible to compile the systray to use bitmask as backend:
$ go build -tags bitmaskd
In that case bitmask-systray assumes that you already have bitmaskd running. Run bitmask and the systray:
$ bitmaskd
$ build/bin/bitmask-vpn
i18n
When a string has being modified you need to regenerate the locales:
$ make generate_locales
To fetch the translations from transifex and rebuild the catalog.go (API_TOKEN is the transifex API token):
$ API_TOKEN='xxxxxxxxxxx' make locales
There is some bug on gotext and the catalog.go generated doesn't have a package, you will need to edit
cmd/bitmask-vpn/catalog.go and to have a package main
at the beginning of the file.
If you want to add a new language create the folder locales/$lang
before running make locales
.
Report an issue
When you report an issue include the following information:
- what you expected to see
- what you got
- the version of the program. You can check the version on the about page.
- the logs of the program. The location of the logs depends on the OS:
- linux:
/home/<your user>/.config/leap/bitmaskd.log
& /home/<your user>/.config/leap/systray.log
- OSX:
/Users/<your user>/Library/Preferences/leap/systray.log
, /Applications/RiseupVPN.app/Contents/helper/helper.log
& /Applications/RiseupVPN.app/Contents/helper/openvpn.log
- windows:
C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\leap\systray.log
, C:\Program Files\RiseupVPN\helper.log
& C:\Program Files\RiseupVPN\openvp.log
