I'm having problems compiling Xvnc from the unix source code (the other
programs compiled and run OK). I'm running an i686 with Core Linux
(coredistro.sourceforge.net) kernel 2.4.20. The problem occurs when I run
"make World" and I've tracked the problem down to the following line of the
Makefile:

$(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) Makefile.boot

In my environment, this "resolves" to:

make Makefile.boot

and the error message is:

cd ./config/imake && make  -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=""
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/vnc-3.3.7-unixsrc/Xvnc/config/imake'
making imake with BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS= in config/imake
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/vnc-3.3.7-unixsrc/Xvnc/config/imake'
rm -f ./config/makedepend/Makefile.proto
./config/imake/imake -I./config/cf  -s ./config/makedepend/Makefile.proto -f
./config/makedepend/Imakefile -DTOPDIR=../.. -DCURDIR=./config/makedepend
./config/imake/imake: No such file or directory
./config/imake/imake: Cannot exec /lib/cpp.
  Stop.
./config/imake/imake: Exit code 1.
  Stop.
make: *** [config/makedepend/Makefile.proto] Error 1

I see it's looking for /lib/cpp, which I think are the C++ libraries. I
don't have them installed, but I've read through the docs and can't find
anything that says I *need* them.

Do I need C++ libraries installed to compile Xvnc. If so which ones? The GNU
Common C++ libraries at http://www.gnu.org/directory/libs/cpp/commoncpp.html
or are there others that I need? I guess that they should be installed under
/lib/cpp, but I can't find any docs telling me which libraries I need.

Any help appreciated,

Tony Whitmore
