sdlVNC - VNC Client

zonyl · 11:15 AM

sdlVNC - v1.0.0

I have created / uploaded the source for a VNC client that runs natively in WebOS (SDL/PDK).

* This has not been packaged yet, so please wait on this unless you have an understanding of how to compile and run native apps on WebOS.

Please see the following for more details.
Application:SdlVNC - WebOS Internals

This is a work in progress, however as it stands right now it does what I need (connect to a local Xtightvncserver). From within X11 I can run vncviewer and rdesktop, etc.

This is great news. Good work!

Hooray!

Awesome news, Thank you

Has the issue with connecting to remote sessions been resolved?

dirtygreek · 01/14/2010, 08:55 PM

I can get it to configure, but when running make:

edit: ah, maybe I didn't properly grab the lib

Sonic-NKT · 01/15/2010, 04:21 AM

had the same problem... seems like something is missing

hope there is a package soon.

zonyl · 01/15/2010, 07:11 AM

- It can connect to remote servers. Use the IP address as resolv isnt working

- SDL/TTF.h .. You need to have libSDL_TTF installed on you build machine.

On debian apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev

Sonic-NKT · 01/15/2010, 08:08 AM

installing libsdl-ttf2.0-dev wont fix it for me, had it allready installed.

sudoer · 01/15/2010, 08:11 AM

zonyl, thanks for the effort on this!

That's pretty cool in itself!

unclegeek · 01/15/2010, 09:53 AM

Is the plan to polish this up and put it in the app catalog? I will pay for a decent VNC client. I'm so tired of using PalmVNC in Classic.

I installed it but am still getting the same errors. I wouldn't think I'd have to do anything else after installing it for it to be found?

dirtygreek · 01/15/2010, 10:41 AM

Well, managed to get past that by copying over the sdl_ttf.h file only to get "cannot find -lSDL_ttf"

Doing everything I've seen recommended but still getting the same error. Ah well

That is strange if you have SDL_ttf installed. What build environ are you using?

Here are the bins (its really a tgz not a zip.. forum software wants zip)

dirtygreek · 01/15/2010, 02:45 PM

Ubuntu 9.10, following the instructions on the internals page. But no matter - thanks for the bins! Trying them out now.

Sonic-NKT · 01/15/2010, 02:58 PM

me too.. and thanks for the binary... gives me an error tho.
root@palm-webos-device:/media/internal/sdlvnc# ./sdlvnc
./sdlvnc: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_vnc.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

PS: both files are in the same folder.... just so you know

dirtygreek · 01/15/2010, 03:00 PM

I am just a ton of trouble, I know, but I'm now getting

Quote:

The file's there, though... does it look for it in a specific place?

dirtygreek · 01/15/2010, 03:04 PM

Wonder if this will help at all

Quote:

nstall the library. The default location for the installation is /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. The libary path /usr/local/lib might need to be added to the file /etc/ld.so.conf

zonyl · 01/15/2010, 03:08 PM

Yes, libraries need to be in the /usr/lib folder. Then you need to run ldconfig

'man ldconfig' for more info.
