Introduction
------------

This is ggivnc, a VNC client using libraries from the GGI project to
draw and handle input.

The reason this VNC client came about was to fill the need for a
companion to the VNC target (display-vnc) in libggi. All existing VNC
code was at the time of writing and to the best of my knowledge GPL
and originating from the original AT&T code base (either that, or
hidden from sight). This VNC client is an implementation from scratch
featuring the following encodings:

Raw, CopyRect, RRE, CoRRE, Hextile, Tight, Zlib, ZlibHex, TRLE, ZRLE,
DesktopSize, LastRect, GII and DesktopName.

And the following security types:

None, VNC-auth, Tight and VeNCrypt.


Requirements
------------

ggivnc currently requires cvs-head versions of the GGI libraries (to be
3.0) and an as of yet unreleased version of the ggi-widgets library for
full functionality. Since the ggi-widgets library isn't stable yet, use
a version from about the same time as the ggivnc release you are trying
to build. ggivnc will get by with latest stable GGI libraries though
(i.e. version 2.x), but then you will not get dialogs nor scrollbars.
For full support of all the above encodings and security types ggivnc
will also use zlib, TurboJPEG (or libjpeg) and OpenSSL.

The AsciiDoc package is needed to build the documentation. If you don't
have AsciiDoc, the build will trap once for each type of documentation.
Just try again without installing AsciiDoc if you don't actually need to
build the documentation.
