** This package is not functional at this time.
|

|

RealVNC is the continuation of the original VNC project. The old VNC
|
|
version in pkgsrc (3.3.3) is awfully outdated. I made this package
|
|
to get the new version (4.0) on my machine. RealVNC is a different
|
|
project than TightVNC. The pkgsrc version is a much better package
|
|
than I could probably manage, so this is more just a standin.
|
|
|
|
The old version came with a customized Xfree tree to build Xvnc, the
|
|
VNC server that acts as a real X server with a virtual frambuffer. The
|
|
new version does not. It now requires the user to provide an entire
|
|
XFree tree which is then patched and built. It produces the VNC server
|
|
(Xvnc) and a regular X server that has VNC ablities built in.
|
|
|
|
I could have made a package that downloads the Xfree sources, and builds
|
|
everything, but I'm not sure this is appropriate, so I left it out,
|
|
which is why the package does not work at this time.
|
|
|
|
As it stands right now, the package will work if you "make" it. It
|
|
will fail if you try to "make install" because the Xvnc executable is
|
|
not built.
|
|
|
|
If all you need is the viewer, the package will build fine, just go
|
|
into the makefile and remove the line that installs Xvnc. If you want
|
|
to build the VNC server (I have done it), you have to "make" the package,
|
|
then go in and follow the directions in the README file. Once Xvnc is
|
|
built, then do a "make install" and "make clean".
|
|
|
|
I can send you the Xvnc compiled for i386 NetBSD 1.6.2 if you have a
|
|
similar system and would like to save yourself the trouble.

** There is no IPv6 support like the pkgsrc version.

** It doesn't install any documentation, but it does download it.
