Hi --
There have been several inquiries on the list about how to build vnc on
SGI's running IRIX 6.5. Recently, I was able to successfully build
VNC 3.3.3r2 by making the following modifications to the source files:
1) in vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/hw/vnc:
edit Imakefile. Find the line:
SpecialCObjectRule(init,$(ICONFIGFILES),-DXVNCRELEASE=\"XvncRelease\")
and change it to:
SpecialCObjectRule(init,$(ICONFIGFILES),-DXVNCRELEASE=XvncRelease)
2) in vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/config/cf, edit vnc.def:
change
#define XvncRelease "3r2"
to
#define XvncRelease \"3r2"\
3) then start the build as recommended in the README files:
in vnc_unixsrc:
xmkmf
make World
When that finishes, use Charlie Bond's procedure (as recommended in the
Documentation Pages):
cd ./Xvnc ; make BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=-DFIXUP_CPP_WHITESPACE World
One more thing.
After the compile is through, Xvnc will not run unless you edit
vncserver as follows:
#if (-e "/tmp/.X11-unix/X$displayNumber") {
# $ENV{DISPLAY}= ":$displayNumber";
#} else {
$ENV{DISPLAY}= "$host:$displayNumber";
#}
You need to comment out (or remove) the if else structure, and leave only the
line:
$ENV{DISPLAY}= "$host:$displayNumber";
For some reason, although the unix sockets are properly created and referenced
in /tmp/.X11-unix, clients cannot connect to them.
Good Luck
Ellis
