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…
