For complicated reasons that I won't go into here (but which relate my need to build and release backward-compatible versions of VirtualGL), I unfortunately had to downgrade my build machine to RHEL 4. This of course broke my TigerVNC build, but it's given me a chance to see whether or not it really is feasible to build TigerVNC on that platform.
I was able to get pretty far by changing AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to 0.14.1 in unix/configure.ac, modifying the xserver15.patch slightly so it adds m4_pattern_allow([AC_DEFINE]) to xserver/configure.ac, and upgrading pkgconfig on the build machine to 0.21 (the same version as in RHEL 5.) However, I ran into a problem with dbus. RHEL 4 ships a pre-release version (0.22) which isn't compatible with the X server 1.5 source. For comparison, RHEL 5 uses a significantly newer version (1.12.) Unfortunately, however, other system applications are tied to the ABI-incompatible pre-release, so it isn't a simple matter of upgrading the RPM. I'd need to build it from source and then link Xvnc to my version of it (probably statically.) Any sage advice? I'm hoping that maybe there's a magic flag to disable the dbus requirement or something like that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
