Now, as the root user: make install && cd unix/xserver/hw/vnc && make install && sed -i 's/iconic/nowin/' /usr/bin/vncserver && [ -e /usr/bin/Xvnc ] || ln -svf $XORG_PREFIX/bin/Xvnc /usr/bin/Xvnc Finally, create a menu entry. As the root user: cat > /usr/share/applications/vncviewer.desktop << "EOF" [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=TigerVNC Viewer Comment=VNC client Exec=/usr/bin/vncviewer Icon=tigervnc Terminal=false StartupNotify=false Categories=Network;RemoteAccess; EOF tar .. xorg-server...: This command extracts the standard Xorg packages into the tree in a location needed for modification. patch ...: This set of patches modifies the standard Xorg server so that the Xvnc command can be built. --disable ...: Most options that are usually needed for the standard Xorg server are not needed fror the Xvnc instance being built. [ -e /usr/bin/Xvnc ] || ln ... Xvnc: If the Xvnc server is not installed in the /usr/bin directory, then create a link so the vncserver script can find it. The user specific configuration files of vncserver resides in the .vnc directory in the user's home directory. The xstartup file in that directory is a script specifying what commands to be run when a VNC desktop is started. If no xstartup file exists, vncserver will try to start an xterm in a twm session. An example xstartup would be: #!/bin/sh [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources startlxde & Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories Xvnc, vncconfig, vncpasswd, vncserver, vncviewer, and x0vncserver libvnc.so None Short Descriptions Xvnc is a X VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server. It is based on a standard X server, but it has a "virtual" screen rather than a physical one. Xvnc vncconfig is a program to configure and control a VNC server. vncconfig vncserver is a perl script used to start or stop a VNC server. vncserver vncviewer is a client used to access VNC desktops. vncviewer x0vncserver is a program to make an X display onm a physical terminal accessible via TigerVNC or compatible viewers. x0vncserver
