The first is just to show you where the installation is at this moment:

n102:~ hendrikwindel$ brew info truecrypt truecrypt: stable 7.1a http://truecrypt.org/ Conflicts with: fuse4x Not installed From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/truecrypt.rb ==> Dependencies Build: pkg-config ✔, nasm ✔ Required: wxmac ✔, osxfuse ✔

And now occurs the issue:

n102:~ hendrikwindel$ brew install truecrypt ==> Downloading ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/tc/truecrypt-7.1a.tar.gz Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/truecrypt-7.1a.tar.gz ==> Patching patching file Main/Application.cpp Hunk #1 succeeded at 36 with fuzz 2. patching file Main/CommandLineInterface.cpp patching file Main/Forms/Forms.cpp Hunk #1 succeeded at 263 with fuzz 2.

I have no idea what could be wrong. There is only a short prehistory. But I think it isn't connected with this issue.

  • It means that I can't reproduce the error and it seems that truecrypt is not on brew... (but I might made a mistake). Try to run brew update then brew info truecrypt

  • Yes, I know, I'm the one who answer you. I told you to do that because brew pull truecrypt worked. It seems that truecrypt is no longueur on brew so I can't reproduce the error and that's might be the reason your installation is not working.

Bad News

The Truecrypt Formula on Homebrew has been removed due to bugs, and probably uncertainty in the community regarding truecrypt's safety.

There also used to be a homebrew cask which was removed due to installation bugs. However, it was also moved to homebrew-unofficial and scheduled for removal.

For more information about the 3rd party audit, and why Truecrypt is still safe to use, please see the links mentioned here.

Good News

I have created a Homebrew Tap for Truecrypt 7.1a which fixes the installation problem, and works on OS X 10.10 Yosemite!

Installation

First, make sure you have installed homebrew-cask if you haven't yet:

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

Then, run the following in your command-line:

brew tap trinitronx/homebrew-truecrypt

Usage

Note: For info run:

brew cask info truecrypt

Once the tap is installed, you can install truecrypt!

brew cask install truecrypt
