Greetings! I suspect I know the answer to this query, but thought I'd try anyway:
1.) is it possible to get TightVNC working on 10.8? (presumed yes) My goal is to get a vncserver on Mountain Lion 10.8. I have a brand new shiny Mac Pro, dual 6-core CPUs, and way too much RAM. I need to get 3 users on it. Using the extant fast-user switching combined with remote login usually results in a system hang, at least when that is from windows or linux on the other end. Any help there would be appreciated, but I've found little. So, from here: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/tightvnc?rel_id=10.6-x86_64-current-stable I see that the last built package for TightVNC is from 10.6. 2.) I presume this is why fink does not list any packages for tightvnc - even with unstable packages listed? Is there any way to hack that to make it list old packages? (presumed yes that's why it doesn't list, and no to the hack) So, I downloaded the latest source, and took a crack at compiling it. I have X11 installed via fink, and the libs needed, I have the fink install present, I use the insturctions here http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-general.php?phpLang=en for compiling a non-fink package with fink. I have gotten thru xmkmf make World cd Xvnc ./configure and I get errors on make while compiling the server: ---snip--- -DGCCUSESGAS -DNDEBUG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DXSERV_t -DTRANS_SERVER -DTCPCONN -DUNIXCONN -DHASXDMAUTH -DUSE_RGB_TXT -DNDBM oscolor.c rm -f osinit.o gcc -c -O2 -ansi -Dasm=__asm -I. -I../include -I../../.././/exports/include/X11 -I../../.././/include/extensions -I../../.././/lib/Xau -I../lbx -I../../.././ -I../../.././/exports/include -DCSRG_BASED -DSHAPE -DGCCUSESGAS -DNDEBUG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DXSERV_t -DTRANS_SERVER -DTCPCONN -DUNIXCONN -DHASXDMAUTH -DUSE_RGB_TXT -DADMPATH=\"/var/log/X\%smsgs\" osinit.c In file included from ../../.././/exports/include/X11/Xos.h:154, from osinit.c:55: /usr/include/stdlib.h:146: error: expected identifier or â(â before âintâ /usr/include/stdlib.h:146: error: expected â)â before â>â token make[3]: *** [osinit.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [os] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 ---end--- I'm not clear on why some strange charaters are in there at all. Googleing that error message reveals that others have gotten similar errors - but at different spots in stdlib.h. >From what I gather, there's nothing wrong with stdlib.h, and I don't see >anythng wrong with osinit.c or Xos.h either: stdlib.h lines 144-147: __BEGIN_DECLS void abort(void) __dead2; int abs(int) __pure2; int atexit(void (*)(void)); Xos.h line 154: #include <stdlib.h> Aaand osinit.c line 55: #include "Xos.h" The general gist of the replies to previous posts are that there's an error in the code in the .c file...but given that osinit.c is provided in the package, I presume that it's an inconsistency of that file's code with the latest flavor of Darwin. I was hoping that someone here had some helpful suggestions...I would be happy to provide more information if desired.
