Can't install on Linux Mint 19

[gbizzotto]

I tried the packages as instructed:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt update
sudo apt install encryptpad encryptcli

It lead to

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package encryptpad
E: Unable to locate package encryptcli

I tried compiling the source. I cloned the repo at the latest commit and did:

sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qt5-default gcc g++ make python zlib1g-dev pkg-config
./configure.py --build-botan --build-zlib
make

I got

botan_all.cpp:9355:10: fatal error: bzip2/bzlib.h: No such file or directory
 #include <bzlib.h>

I tried:

• adding the bzip2 folder name in the include
• adding the deps/bzip2 folder name in the include
• sudo apt-get install libz-dev (it was already there)

I added instructions for Ubuntu yesterday:

https://github.com/evpo/EncryptPad#ubuntu

Try them please. There is a small difference in the parameters of the configure.py script and an extra package in apt install.

I see, no need to build botan. It worked, thanks!
