KeePassX 2.0 On Redhat 6 / Cent OS 6 / OL6



I'm sure we all know the virtues of long, complex and unrememberable passwords and the need for a tool to store them. My favourite has been KeePass, with a shared database on a cloud drive.

KeePassX has long been around for native Linux support, but hasn't been compatibility with the KeePass 2 (Professional Edition) database format kdbx. Well the excellent authors have release KeePassX 2.0 which is a rewrite with kdbx support.  Currently only available as source code, the following instructions will help you to compile and install on Redhat 6/ CentOS 6 /Oracle Linux 6.

Required packages
$ sudo yum install cmake gcc-c++ qt-devel qt libgcrypt libgcrypt-devel libXtst libXtst-devel

 NOTE* GIT version https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx uses QT5 plus other packages.

Download source
$ wget https://www.keepassx.org/releases/2.0/keepassx-2.0.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf keepassx-2.0.tar.gz
$ cd keepassx-2.0

Create UNIX Makefiles
$ cmake  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DWITH_GUI_TESTS=ON 

Compile and install
$ make
$ sudo make install

Execute
$ /usr/local/bin/keepassx

Solaris 11 Locale en_GB.UTF-8 / en_GB.ISO8859-1 / en_GB.ISO8859-15

When you install Solaris 11/11 from standard text installer cdrom, the en_GB-UTF-8 locales are not installed, even if you select British locales on install. EDIT 4th FEB 2018 - Still valid for Solaris 11.4 Beta.  To make sure packages are have the correct localisation, IPS uses facet as a localisation personality. $ pkg facet FACETS VALUE facet.locale.pt_BR True facet.locale.es_ES True facet.locale.en_US True facet.locale.zh_TW True facet.locale.zh_CN True facet.locale.de_DE True facet.locale.fr_FR True facet.locale.it_IT True facet.locale.ko_* True facet.locale.ja_* True facet.locale.es True facet.locale.de True facet.locale.zh True facet.locale.ko True facet.locale.it True facet.locale.pt True facet.locale.fr True facet.locale.en True facet.locale.ja True facet.locale.* False As you can see no en_GB is described and " facet.locale.* False " is a deny everything else rule. So let change this. I'm assuming you have a Solaris 11 repository already configured
