This supplies the main userspace tooling for using and configuring WireGuard
tunnels, including the
wg(8) and
wg-quick(8)
utilities. This project supports Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, and
Android.

$ cd src
$ make
There are no dependencies other than a good C compiler and a sane libc.
# make install
This command takes into account several environment variables:
PREFIX default: /usr
DESTDIR default:
BINDIR default: $(PREFIX)/bin
LIBDIR default: $(PREFIX)/lib
MANDIR default: $(PREFIX)/share/man
BASHCOMPDIR default: $(PREFIX)/share/bash-completion/completions
RUNSTATEDIR default: /var/run
PKG_CONFIG default: pkg-config
WITH_BASHCOMPLETION default: [auto-detect]
WITH_WGQUICK default: [auto-detect]
WITH_SYSTEMDUNITS default: [auto-detect]
DEBUG default:
The first section is rather standard. The second section is not:
WITH_BASHCOMPLETION decides whether or not bash completion files for the
tools are installed. This is just a nice thing for people who have bash.
If you don't have bash, or don't want this, set the environment variable
to no. If you'd like to force its use, even if bash-completion isn't
detected in DESTDIR, then set it to yes.
WITH_WGQUICK decides whether or not the wg-quick(8) script is installed.
This is a very quick and dirty bash script for reading a few extra
variables from wg(8)-style configuration files, and automatically
configures the interface. If you don't have bash, you probably don't want
this at all. Likewise, if you already have a working network management
tool or configuration, you probably want to integrate wg(8) or the direct
WireGuard API into your network manager, rather than using wg-quick(8).
But for folks who like simple quick and dirty scripts, this is nice. If you'd
like to force its use, even if bash isn't detected in DESTDIR, then set it
to yes.
WITH_SYSTEMDUNITS decides whether or not systemd units are installed for
wg-quick(8). If you don't use systemd, you certainly don't want this, and
should set it to no. If systemd isn't auto-detected, but you still would
like to install it, set this to yes.
DEBUG decides whether to build with -g, when set to yes.
If you're a simple make && make install kind of user, you can get away with
not setting these variables and relying on the auto-detection. However, if
you're writing a package for a distro, you'll want to explicitly set these,
depending on what you want.
contrib/The contrib/ subdirectory contains various scripts and examples. Most of these
are not immediately useful for production use, but should provide inspiration for
creating fully-featured tools. See the README in each directory.
