The TridiaVNC source is, shall we say, in flux. We are in the process
of integrating the very latest tight encoding updates from Constantin.
Unfortunately, we were not able to make this happen in a single day.
I believe the code from yesterday is now compiling correctly on Solaris,
AIX and Linux. The HP/UX 10.20 compiler/linker is/are still causing
problems. Or should I say, they are still training me on their proper
usage.
We hope to have the source in a stable state in the next day or two.
Then the work will move to the Win32 platform. Once the new tight
updates and a few others are applied, we will announce the 1.5.0
pre-release.
The fastest access to a stable source tree would be to use the CVS
server to download the most recently tagged release:
cvs checkout -r TridiaVNC_V_1_4_0 unix
(on Solaris/AIX/Linux/HPUX anyway)
After setting up the CVS client, this will download a stable source
tree.
Directions for using the CVS server can be found at:
http://www.developvnc.org/logged-in/access-cvs.html
In this way you can get any of a wide range of release versions:
TridiaVNC_V_1_4_0
TridiaVNC_V_1_3_3
TridiaVNC_V_1_3_2
TridiaVNC_V_1_3_1
TridiaVNC_V_1_3_0
TridiaVNC_V_1_2_2
TridiaVNC_V_1_2_1
TridiaVNC_V_1_2_0
One work-around would be to wait a couple of days and download
something more stable. However, this will be closer to the 1.5.0
release than the certified 1.4.0 source tree. The fix would be for us
to have full release snapshots as well as just the latest tree
available for download. I'll run this up the pole and see if I can
get it added to the release process.
If you just want binaries for Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6), you can also
purchase or download release 1.4.0 Solaris binaries from the
TridiaVNC web site:

I hope this helps you go forward with TridiaVNC. Thanks for your
interest in TridiaVNC!
