Cloaklet

A simple GUI app wrapping around gocryptfs. Currently usable on macOS.

UI and interaction is mimicked from Cryptomator.

How to build

Tool dependencies

You should have the following tools installed:

• Qt5 suite: brew install qt5.
• Clang: xcode-select --install to install the CommandLine Tools from Apple.
• Go: brew install go, 1.14 would be fine.
• qamel: go get -u -v github.com/go-qamel/qamel/cmd/qamel in project root to install.

Setup qamel profile

• Run brew info qt5 to print the caveats for the installed Qt5 formula. What we need is the path to Qt tools, typically located at /usr/local/opt/qt/bin.
• Run qamel profile setup to setup the default profile, it will ask you for path of each tool, use these:
  • For Qt tools dir, use the one you got from brew info qt5
  • For C compiler, use /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
  • For C++ compiler, use /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++

Build for development

When building for development it's not necessary to create an application bundle, instead we just need a executable binary file. The binary file alone is fast to compile thus saves a lot of time.

Generate moc headers

Qt's moc (Meta Object Compiler) is used to generate a header file specific to the extend.h file. This file provides some extended functionality via CGO, including a QML type named MousePos which provides MousePos.pos() slot to effeciently get current cursor coordinates.

# This will generate "moc-extend.h" file
/usr/local/opt/qt/bin/moc -o moc-extend.h extend.h

Build the binary

qamel build to build with the default profile. Run with ./Cloaklet.

Build for release

Just run go run build.go buildBundle, it should do all the building and bundling stuff and generates Cloaklet.app bundle. Double click it to start the app.

Notice

If the compiler complains about finding std library headers, you might need to set the Apple SDK path like this before running build command:

export SDKROOT="$(xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path)"
