How to build Veracrypt from source

I recently installed the arm64 version of Ubuntu on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ board. After that, I wanted to access one of my Veracrypt volumes, but could not find the Veracrypt tool for installation in the Ubuntu repository. The ARM packages of Veracrypt available for download turned out to be built for armhf and not arm64.

Building Veracrypt from source and using it turned out to be easy:

• Install the packages required for building Veracrypt:

$ sudo apt install g++ libfuse-dev pkg-config yasm libwxbase3.0-dev

• Get the latest source release of Veracrypt from its Github releases page. For example, I downloaded VeraCrypt-VeraCrypt_1.24-Update7.tar.gz.
• Unzip the file and change to the src directory.
• By default, Veracrypt builds both the console and GUI versions of the tool. To build just the console version of Veracrypt:

$ make NOGUI=1

• After the build is done, copy over the Veracrypt binary:

$ sudo cp main/veracrypt /usr/bin

Tried with: Ubuntu 20.04
