Truecrypt Compiled

So I followed these instructions:

http://www.technibble.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11309

, and was able to compile Truecrypt 6.3 on my Slitaz 3.0 stable laptop successfully. I tried truecrypt 7 and 7.1 to no success so 6.3 will do for now. I have 2 questions, and pardon my ignorance, how can I create an icon on the desktop/menu I can click on rather than typing " ./truecrypt" from the /usr/local/bin directory?

Also since I have it successfully installed, can someone provide instructions as to exporting it to a tazpkg for future installations, or is that too involved for a thread discussion?

Thanks  Verault

Truecrypt 7.0a : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5197027/slitaz/truecrypt-7.0a.tazpkg

Check this box:

Settings/Preferences/System Integration/Kernel Services/Do not use kernel cryptographic services

or you will see this error: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument

Command failed

Minimal testing on stable-3.0 using the Beginners Tutorial : http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/

Well if there is a package now I guess I don't need the help anymore. Ill just keep using 6.3 though. Thanks Mojo
