Bug 112599 – eBuild for UltraVNC needed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Martin Baranski 2005-11-15 04:32:33 UTC]

Hi,

I was wondering why there isn't an eBuild for UltraVNC because it's free, fast
due to it uses compression and supports strong authentication via DSM-plugin.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ for source code
2. Go to http://msrc4plugin.home.comcast.net/index.html for the DSM-plugin
Actual Results:  
No eBuild is found when doing "emerge -pv ultravnc"

Expected Results:  
UltraVNC should be included in the tree and there should be an eBuild for it.

Now, if you could point us to the linux version download, please... ;p

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63887

At this URI is an archive called *src.zip - isn't this source code which can be
used on Linux?
I don't know much about C/C++ compiling (especially on Linux) but AFAIK could
that be ported to Linux, right? :)

And I've read a bug here at bugs.gentoo.org in which a guy said something about
that he uses UltraVNC on X - therefore I thought it would be possible.. ;)

If not: is there any VNC-software which uses compression and is *free*?

As you can read here http://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?p=12220#12220,
there is no Linux version available. You can just run the Java Viewer as a
compiled version.
