[Xf4vnc-devel] ARM fixes

[Paul W. <pa...@si...>]

I'm very glad to hear that XF4VNC is not dead - I've been happily using 
it ever since XFree86 4.3.0, and was worried that I would have to switch 
to the RealVNC equivalent when the day came that vnc.so no longer worked 
with the latest Xorg.  It's the support for Tight encoding that I find 
particularly appealing.

I have just successfully compiled XF4VNC under Debian Etch on an ARM 
platform, and in the highly unlikely event that anyone ever follows in 
my footsteps, a couple of tweaks are necessary:

1) In the monolithic XF4VNC tree, xc/lib/VncExt/Vnc.c wants to include 
Xlibint.h, but this is not provided in the distribution, and compilation 
fails with copious errors when gcc tries to use an incompatible 
/usr/include/X11/Xlibint.h (from Xorg 7.1 in this case).  Suggest that 
you include copies of Xlib.h and Xlibint.h of the appropriate vintage 
(XFree86 4.3.99 or whatever) in the monolithic tree.

2) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/compiler.h needs a minor tweak 
for the ARM architecture to prevent collision with glibc inb(), outb() 
etc calls.  I have attached a patch featuring code shamelessly pilfered 
from Xorg 6.9.0.

I was actually compiling using an old (2005) CVS snapshot rather than 
the latest, but have checked the current CVS and it apparently still has 
these problems.
