Quoting Simon Proven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello,
I'm trying to work out how to make nxserver build for amd64 as I don't
have a working solution of any kind (either tightvnc or vnc also being
i386-only).
I have been messing around trying to get it to build, and got past the
-fPIC issue with a couple of patches. However once it compiled, it did
*not* create libX11.so, it only produced libX11.a
I've not managed to work out why this is yet; the Makefile generated in
lib/X11 is not sufficiently different from that in i386 to be the issue,
I perhaps need to diff the entire tree of generate Makefiles so I can
see if there is a difference that's relevant. I'm unfamiliar with the
xfree86 build system so that is not helping me.
Do you have any ideas about what might be the best approach to making
this work? I'd really like to get it working.
Thanks,
Simon
hello, Simon - thanks for your interest in the project!
unfortunately i was never able to get the 1.4 sources to compile on a 64-bit
system. in fact, i was never able to get the 1.5 sources to fully compile even
on a 32-bit system. that was a good while ago, though, and 2.x have been
released. thanks to another interested party, 2.x compiles on 32-bit systems
(i'm not sure about 64-bit yet). you can find alpha ports here:
http://www.deweyonline.com/nx/freebsd.html
I downloaded this:
freenx-060+nxserver-210.tar.gz
<http://www.deweyonline.com/nx/freenx-060+nxserver-210.tar.gz>
I found I had to make one change, in the file
files/patch-nxviewer-nxviewer-Imakefile I had to remove if
defined(i386Archtecture) from the patch where it sets JPEG_INC. The
build completed, but just as before I find that libX11.so.6.2 is not
created; only libX11.a. So I remain at the same point as i was before,
but at least I am working with a more recent port to start from.
Thanks for your help so far. I will have to investigate further on the
libX11.so not being built.
Simon
