tightvnc and -current
I think I've run into an incompatabilty with tightvnc and -current.
When I try to configure, I get this: Code:
vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc# ./configure I'm thinking bash or sh or whatever is using a version that is incompatible with the configure for Xvnc. Any ideas for workarounds? Or a vnc server that will work? Running -current , fresh, installed last week from latest changelog at that time. EDIT:Heres the result of 'bash --version' Code:
vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc# bash --version |
Sorry I can't help with the compilation problem. But I do use the tightvnc-1.2.9-i486-2kjz.tgz package from http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=7626 on a Slackware -current box at work and don't have any problems.
|
The package does work, thank you...It's a good stopgap measure.
But the original question remains: Is tightvnc and -current not compatible (to compile/configure)? Reason why is that a prepackaged .tgz is fine, but I prefer my own packages. Just a thing with me. That way I know that what I have will work perfect and specifically on my system(s)... |
Yep, I prefer my own also, but never took the time with this one. I tried it just now and it bailed with a similar error:
Code:
~/tmp/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc$ ./configure |
No. Actually, on this system, due to diminutive hdd size, the only other partition I have besides swap and / is /root
I have even tried as root to do this, and no joy. Any other ideas? (Good one, though) |
Just tried on a different date -current, and ./configure worked, but during make had other errors...(Sorry, couldn't get them so I could post them...)
I think I'll just wait until 11 actually comes out, and see if a updated tightvnc comes out, then try again. At least the package works... |
I just tried it on another box - configure runs properly but make died for me as well. It had a bunch of repeated errors (structure has no member named `fds_bits'), then it had Error 1 in WaitFor.o, Error 2 in os and Error 2 in all.
The docs in the sources weren't much help and neither was the tightvnc homepage. Not a good thing to see here on a Sunday morning :( Sorry about that... |
Not your fault (unless you wrote it....If that's the case, then you're a ?><^&(#$%#....lol)
Really, just a quirk I found, and was wondering if others found/fixed it.. I would have to assume not. |
