Open interface to receive commands via Intents/Service

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm currently writing some medical software to be used in developing countries, 
and I would love to use EncFS (or possibly TrueCrypt) to encrypt the whole 
filesystem.

Ideally I would be able to send an Intent to Cryptonite, or to access a Service 
where I could call some basic commands. Just basic functionality like 
encrypting a folder, mounting a folder, and unmounting.

Thanks very much for the excellent software you've made here. I spent a long 
time trying to figure out how to accomplish this before finding Cryptonite, so 
I'm humbled by your accomplishment here.

Nick

I apologize for marking this as "Defect", that was unintentional!

Thanks for your comments. Do you have any experience with Android programming? 
I currently don't have enough time for adding features and would certainly 
appreciate some help.

I do, and would be happy to help.

My problem is that I'm not good at native programming and I have trouble 
dealing with any NDK issues. But if I put a few classes in my clone of your 
repo, would you be willing to integrate it?

Also, I had quite some trouble just trying to build all your code! If you could 
build me an APK that includes the classes I write, I would greatly appreciate 
it!

I'd be happy to build an apk for you. However, it would be difficult for you to 
debug it in case you make small changes to the code. Alternatively, I could 
upload a pre-built archive of all the native stuff so that you only need to 
build the Java part.

Also, here's the issue I'm having building EncFS myself. When I run download.sh 
I get this:

Not sure if this is an issue with the trunk, but I don't know how to get around 
it.

If I had the prebuilt binaries then I'd be able to write it easily! If you 
could send those to me then I'd get to work on this.

Original comment by nwil...@gmail.com on 15 Jan 2013 at 7:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you're on OS X and have MacPorts installed, try to do
$ sudo port install gsed
Make sure that
$ which sed
returns
/opt/local/bin/sed
Then, try again. I'll follow up with prebuilt binaries later this week.

Original comment by christoph.schmidthieber@gmail.com on 15 Jan 2013 at 7:35

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Thanks!

I installed sed, and the "which" command found it at /usr/bin/sed, not 
opt/local/bin. I looked in opt/local/bin and there's no sed file there.

No worries about trying to debug my computer from afar, I think this is just 
more than I'll ever be able to handle!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You're actually very very close. The worst part concerning the native library 
is done. I've just committed a change to download.sh. Remove the old source 
directory and try again:
$ cd ${CRYPTONITE}/encfs-1.7.4
$ rm -rf encfs-1.7.4
$ ./download.sh
$ ./build.sh

Original comment by christoph.schmidthieber@gmail.com on 15 Jan 2013 at 8:23

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Forgot to add: You need to do
$ cd ${CRYPTONITE}
$ git pull
before trying again

Original comment by christoph.schmidthieber@gmail.com on 15 Jan 2013 at 8:34

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I pulled the change from the download.sh file but I still get these errors. I 
installed libtools and autoconf with port, that changed the last part of the 
error, but I"m not sure it's particularly helpful...

sed still doesn't seem to work, and there seems to be yet another problem with 
autoconf. I'll try to get my hands on a Mac to reproduce this. Thanks for 
reporting.

Actually I found a little typo in the code you committed that removed sed from 
the equation... you had this:
sed -i"" 's/off_t/loff_t/g' {} \;

which I changed to this:
sed -i "" 's/off_t/loff_t/g' {} \;

There was a space missing after the -i argument. It still gives me errors, but 
no longer involving sed:

So apparently there is a line in "/encfs-1.7.4/configure" that tests:

if eval test \"x\$"$as_ac_Lib"\" = x"yes"; then :
  BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB="-l$ax_lib";  link_system="yes"; break
else
  link_system="no"
fi

and $as_ac_Lib is empty, so it gives an error, Not sure if that will help, but 
it's as far as I could take it.

Oh I also took its advice and changed AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in 
configure.ac and that got rid of the download error. It was occuring during the 
command "autoreconf --force".
