I'm trying to get a vnc client for a PXA255 (arm) platform. I saw DirectVNC
which uses DirectFB and have begun building DirectFB for use in a subsequent
DirectVnc build.

I'm wondering if DirectVnc would make use of the "free-type" config code, if I
included it in the DirectFB build. Right now, the DirectFB configure script
isn't finding the freetype libraries, though they are in the staging_dir of the
target directory structure (cross-compiling). I can't figure out exactly where
or what the configure script is looking for to decide whether it has freetype
support.

So, does anyone know whether DirectVnc needs freetype (or would even use it) in
DirectFB?

I posted this question on the DirectVnc mailing list, but received no
response. I also sent an email to Til Adam, who looks like the owner of the
project, but got no response.

It looks like the DirectVnc mail list archives are ust full of spam. So, I'm
thinking about abandoning DirectVnc and using FBVnc, which is built by copying
it's code into the Vnc source directory (so it needs the X11 libs and
includes).

Anyone know the scoop on the DirectVnc? Is it a "dead" project?

Are there other vnc clients that instead use DirectFB that would be "thinner"
and/or easier to build?

Thanks,

Dave Thomas
