Didn't see any build instructions when I looked in the top-level directories so I just did the usual ./configure ; make. Just now I looked at the deeper README in the "unix" subdir.
Trying to find a source tar-ball to download on xfree86.org is not easy. Instead I'm downloading XFree86-4.2.1-13.73.3sparc.src.rpm from the Aurora site. I should be able to install and expand it then copy what I need into the "xc" vnc sub-tree. I guess no matter which way I do this I'm not going to get off easy, am I. --Cal On Mon, 2006-11-06 at 13:52, James Weatherall wrote: > Hi Calvin, > > Did you follow the build instruction exactly, including the patch command > for the xc tree? > > Cheers, > > Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Calvin Webster > > Sent: 06 November 2006 18:05 > > To: James Weatherall > > Cc: 'VNC Mailing List' > > Subject: RE: vnc-server-3.3.3r2-28.2: "connection refused" or > > "end of stream" > > > > Hello Wez, > > > > Thanks.
