Building from source with Ubuntu Xenial (if you really want it)

I tried to port pam_panic to Ubuntu Xenial but I failed because of the very old packages of gnupg, scdaemon and overall the signing with smartcard. Also pushing things to launchpad didn't recognise the sources and it built empty packages which is indeed unfortunate.

So...

Build it yourself

1. Install the build dependencies via shell

   sudo apt install libpam0g-dev cryptsetup libcunit1 libcunit1-dev gettext po4a dialog autopoint autoconf libtool

2. Change into the pam_panic which you've downloaded and extracted before

   cd pam_panic

3. Install the autoconf files into the project using

   autoreconf -i

4. Configure autoconf to install pam_panic into your real™ system directory

   ./configure --prefix=/usr

5. Build the source with

   make

6. Install pam_panic with

   sudo make install

Now you can run pam_panic_config and do a config!.
