VNC

Building RealVNC from source on the Mac Platform

1. make sure the fink environment is installed and configured properly
2. :!:it is unclear if any prior dependencies are required
3. download the latest unix source code from http://www.realvnc.com
   • the version used in this example was 4.1.2
4. extract the compressed file
5. change directory to vnc-x_x_x-unixsrc/unix/
6. build vnc:

   ./configure --prefix=/sw --mandir=/sw/share/man --infodir=/sw/share/info --with-x
   
   make

7. if you want to use an already installed zlib, you can do this:

   ./configure --prefix=/sw --mandir=/sw/share/man --infodir=/sw/share/info --with-x --with-installed-zlib
   
   make

8. at this point, you can install by one of several options:
   • copy vnc-x_x_x-unixsrc/unix/vncviewer/vncviewer to /sw/bin/
   • create a symbolic link from vnc-x_x_x-unixsrc/unix/vncviewer/vncviewer to /sw/bin/vncviewer
   • run vnc-x_x_x-unixsrc/unix/vncinstall /sw/bin /sw/share/man
     • this will install man pages, vncserver, vncpasswd etc…
