output of unix/xserver/configure --help

When building tigervnc with the 'server' use flag, your first option to _avoid_ these problems is patching the ebuild to pass
  --disable-xwayland
to configure in src_prepare().

After you have done so and are building with the 'gnutls' use flag as well, you will hit another problem that fails to link Xvnc:
--- SNIP ---
net-misc-tigervnc-1.3.1-r2/temp//ccZbJCud.ltrans6.ltrans.o:ccZbJCud.ltrans6.o:function rfb::CSecurityTLS::setParam(): error: undefined reference to 'getvnchomedir(char**)'
[...]
/var/tmp/paludis/net-misc-tigervnc-1.3.1-r2/temp//ccZbJCud.ltrans14.ltrans.o:ccZbJCud.ltrans14.o:function rfb::CSecurityTLS::setDefaults(): error: undefined reference to 'fileexists(char*)'
[...]
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:791: recipe for target 'Xvnc' failed
--- SNAP ---

Again, you may _avoid_ this secondary problem by either disabling 'gnutls' use flag for the build or by patching the ebuild to pass
  --disable-xcsecurity
to configure in src_prepare().

(see the attached output of configure --help for detailed information on available configure options in tigervnc-1.3.1)

tigervnc-1.3.1-satisfy-oslib-refs-in-xwayland-and-xvnc.patch

When building tigervnc with the 'server' use flag, your second option to _fix_ these problems is applying the attached patch in src_prepare() stage.

It will fix both, Xwayland and Xvnc linkage problems, the latter only occuring if 'gnutls' use flag is enabled.

no need to swith dirs (was needed for a previous patch attempt)

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2016-05-21 15:00:23 UTC]

is this valid with newer versions?
