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.

I was hoping that someone here had some helpful suggestions...I would be happy to provide more information if desired. Thanks, James |

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? How good are you with Perl? I believe there's a 1:1 mapping between the OS version and the package distribution it can see, and making fink look both in 10.4/ and 10.7/ would be quite involved. A fallback option is to edit /sw/etc/fink.conf and add the line "SelfupdateTrees: 10.7 10.4" to it, then set your selfupdate method to cvs, e.g. via "fink selfupdate-cvs". That will download the 10.4/ tree package descriptions (which now serve 10.5. and 10.6), and you can copy them over to your 10.7 tree for testing. > > (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.

Ah, I was just told that tightvnc is already set for 1 build job interally
We've found that this error is actually due to an earlier error which
doesn't stop the build:
gcc -c -O2 -ansi -Dasm=__asm -I../.././ -I../.././/exports/include
-DCSRG_BASED -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO AuUnlock.c
AuUnlock.c:47:2: error: non-void function 'XauUnlockAuth' should return
a value
[-Wreturn-type]
return;
^
1 error generated.
make[2]: *** [AuUnlock.o] Error 1

OK...what do I do with that?
I guess I am saying it did stop the build in my case...
If I try to edit AuUnlock.c it just gets changed back to the original.
It may be helpful to interject here that I am fairly resourceful at compiling things that are not broken, but have never fixed things that wouldn't compile at this level of difficulty...

OK. I will have to await that patch as I am not knowledgeable enough to edit a patch file with that information. Thanks for the help!
