I checked in a patch which seems to allow me to build Xvnc on RHEL 5
using the Xorg server 1.1 branch. Using this patch, I do:
Hm, I think more about this issue and in the end it seems that older
releases of Xorg are not so good idea. Main problem is that they are
unmaintained and might contain serious bugs. Thus we should definitely
not ship Xvnc which is based on old Xorg branch.
More wise solution might be to use XFree86 source, I think (I saw they
released 4.8.0 12/15/2008). Let me check how big pain will be port
xvnc.cc to XFree86 4.8.0.
My view is that it's better to "standardize" on Xorg 1.5 and 1.6. Life
will be much easier if we limit the number of Xorg versions that we
support. We can support building on older distributions by using a script
such as the checked in build-xorg-git script. All that's needed is that
someone fixes it so that it uses the 1.5 branch instead of the git master.
Best regards,
