[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] compiling tigervnc under Wheezy, Android clients

[Dan MacDonald]

Hi list!

I'm running Debian Wheezy on a Pandaboard and I'd like to see how well it
performs as a (personal, 1-client) VNC server but unfortunately tigervnc
doesn't seem to be packaged anywhere for Debian 7 armhf yet, to no great
surprise. Wheezy uses xorg 1.12 and tigervnc 1.2.0 doesn't contain an xorg
patch new enough so I downloaded svn trunk, which does have a patch for
1.12. I've followed the build instructions but make only gets me as far as:

make[3]: Entering directory

I have noticed that rfb/Configuration.h is a file within trunk/common and
that

-I../../../trunk//common

That extra / probably explains my issue yet I'm not familiar enough with
cmake to fix this.

I have installed libjpeg-turbo and I noticed tigervnc viewer check for it
but I didn't notice the server do the same and configuration time. Does
tigervnc server not use / depend upon libjpeg-turbo?

So, is there already a Debian source tarball I can try building instead of
compiling tvnc from svn or could someone please tell me how to fix my build
issue? I reported this to the tigervnc-users mailing list a few days ago
but I've had no response.

Finally, what is the best (hopefully FLOSS) Android client to use with
tigervnc?

Thanks for your help!
