  1. Best Answer

    After you download the source (currently the latest version of the 0.4 series is 0.4.4).

    Extract the Tarball

    tar -xvf keepassx-0.4.4.tar.gz

    Fix the Source

    The build process currently fails as standard in Ubuntu 18.04 due to a missing include directive. This needs to be added as follows:

    1. Open the source file keepassx/src/lib/random.cpp using a text editor.
    2. Add the line #include <unistd.h> immediately before the line #include <QCryptographicHash> and save the file.

    After editing, the random.cpp file should look like:

    ...
#include <unistd.h>
#include <QCryptographicHash>
...

    Install the Dependencies

    sudo apt install qt4-default libxtst-dev build-essential

    Build and Install

    Ensure you are in the root folder of the source (~/Downloads/keepassx-0.4.4 for example).

    qmake
make
sudo checkinstall make install

    KeePassX V0.4.4 should now be available within the launcher.
