A simple GUI frontend that interacts with the GPG application to encrypt and decrypt files symmetrically (using passwords not private / public keys).

The GUI provides a convenient way to use GPG, rather than through the terminal, making it usable for unexperienced users.

• GnuPG
  (Just the gpg or gpg2 binary)
• GTK+ 3
  (Very likely already installed in your favourite Linux distribution)

• Vala Compiler (valac)
  Likely available in your distributions repositories
• Meson build system (probably with Ninja backend)
  Likely available in your distributions repositories
• C Compiler
  Clang or gcc are tested. Probably best to install your distributions development meta package / bundle / group.
• GTK+ 3
  • Its header files
    (Probably installable via a -dev or -devel package in your distro)
  • Its vala .vapi file
    (Either included with vala compiler or GTK+ 3 development package)
• GLib, GObject
  • Their header files
  • Their vala .vapi files
  • They are a dependency of GTK+ 3 and will probably be installed automatically when installing development package for GTK+ 3

gpg-gui builds out-of-tree with Meson and Ninja:

    meson setup build
    ninja -C build
