This program is meant to be used as a client for the VNC remote desktop sharing protocol.

This project is originally based on an example file from the gtk-vnc library (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gtk-vnc).

VNCViewer is part of the DeforaOS Project, found at https://www.defora.org/.

The current requirements for compiling VNCViewer are as follows:

• Gtk+ 2.4 or later, or Gtk+ 3.0 or later (the default)
• DeforaOS libDesktop
• the gtk-vnc library
• the gvncpulse library for audio support (optional, default)
• an implementation of make
• gettext (libintl) for translations

With these installed, the following command should be enough to compile VNCViewer on most systems:

$ make

The following command will then install VNCViewer:

$ make install

To install (or package) VNCViewer in a different location:

$ make clean
$ make PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

VNCViewer also supports DESTDIR, to be installed in a staging directory; for instance:

$ make DESTDIR="/staging/directory" PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

On some systems, the Makefiles shipped can be re-generated accordingly thanks to the DeforaOS configure tool.

The compilation process supports a number of options, such as PREFIX and DESTDIR for packaging and portability, or OBJDIR for compilation outside of the source tree.
