        !            41: - Windows 2003 SP1 Driver Development Kit (build 3790.1830)
        !            42: - Microsoft Windows SDK 6.0 (integrated with Visual Studio)

        !            45: 
        !            46: The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista and in some cases (e.g. playback of HD DVD
        !            47: content) also the 32-bit editions of Windows Vista do not allow the TrueCrypt
        !            48: driver to run without an appropriate digital signature. Therefore, all .sys
        !            49: files in official TrueCrypt binary packages are digitally signed with the
        !            50: digital certificate of the TrueCrypt Foundation, which was issued by a
        !            51: certification authority. At the end of each official .exe and .sys file,
        !            52: there are embedded digital signatures and all related certificates (i.e. all
        !            53: certificates in the relevant certification chain, such as the certification
        !            54: authority certificates, CA-MS cross-certificate, and the TrueCrypt Foundation
        !            55: certificate). Keep this in mind if you compile TrueCrypt and compare your
        !            56: binaries with the official binaries. If your binaries are unsigned, the sizes
        !            57: of the official binaries will usually be approximately 10 KB greater than sizes
        !            58: of your binaries (if you use a different version of compiler or if you install
        !            59: a different or no service pack for Visual Studio, there may be further
        !            60: differences).

                     65: 
1.1.1.12  root       66: 1) Set the 'WINDDK_3790_1830' environment variable to point to the Windows DDK
                     67:    root directory. Alternatively, edit the 'DDK' variable in the file
                     68:    'Driver\Makefile'.
                     69: 2) Open the 'TrueCrypt.sln' solution in Microsoft Visual Studio.
                     70: 3) Make sure 'All' is the active solution configuration.
                     71: 4) Build the solution.
1.1.1.13! root       72: 5) If successful, there should be newly built TrueCrypt binaries in the

1.1.1.13! root       85: - Source code of the Linux kernel, version 2.6.5 or compatible. The version of
        !            86:   the kernel source code and its configuration must match the one under which
        !            87:   you will be running TrueCrypt. Linux kernel sources are available at:
        !            88:   http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/
        !            89: 
        !            90:   Note that Linux kernel headers, located in the 'include' directory, are
        !            91:   not sufficient for compilation of the TrueCrypt kernel module. Fields of
        !            92:   'dm_dev' structure must be accessed by TrueCrypt but they are defined only in
        !            93:   an internal kernel header 'drivers/md/dm.h'. No appropriate accessor function
        !            94:   is available. The complete source code of the Linux kernel is required for
        !            95:   compilation of the kernel module.
        !            96: 
        !            97:   Also note that the Linux kernel lacks a stable external programming interface
        !            98:   and, therefore, new kernel releases may break compatibility with external
        !            99:   kernel modules. The TrueCrypt kernel module may fail to build, depending on
        !           100:   the changes made to the Linux kernel by the kernel developers.
