VNC 3.3.3 Source Distribution for Unix platforms
================================================

VNC is Copyright (C) 1999 AT&T Laboratories Cambridge.  All Rights Reserved.
This software is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence as published
by the Free Software Foundation.  See the file LICENCE.TXT for the conditions
under which this software is made available.  VNC also contains code from other
sources.  See the Acknowledgements section below, and the individual files for
details of the conditions under which they are made available.


There are four programs here:

	vncviewer - this is the VNC viewer, or client, program for X.

	vncserver - this is a wrapper script which makes starting an X VNC
		    server (i.e. desktop) more convenient.  It is written in
		    Perl, so to use the script you need that.

	vncpasswd - this program allows you to change the password used to
		    access your X VNC desktops.  The vncserver script uses
		    this program when you first start a VNC server.

	Xvnc - this is the X VNC server - it is both an X server and a VNC
	       server.  You normally use the vncserver script to start Xvnc.


First you must have a reasonably recent version of X installed (this includes
/usr/openwin on Solaris machines).  To build everything but Xvnc, do:

	% xmkmf
	% make World

This should build first the vncauth library which is used by each of the
programs, then vncviewer and vncpasswd.

Xvnc differs from the other programs in that it is built inside a cut-down
version of the X build tree.  This is based around the XFree86 3.3.2 "server
only" distribution, which in turn is based on the X11R6.3 distribution from
the X consortium.  To build Xvnc, do:

	% cd Xvnc
	% make World

If you have trouble building Xvnc, see the Xvnc/README file for more details.

If it all builds OK you should copy the programs to some directory which
is in your PATH environment variable, such as /usr/local/bin.  You can use
the vncinstall script to do this for you:

	% cd ..
	% ./vncinstall /usr/local/bin

If you want to use the Java VNC viewer, you should copy the class files from
the classes directory to some suitable installation directory such as
/usr/local/vnc/classes:

	% mkdir -p /usr/local/vnc/classes
	% cp classes/* /usr/local/vnc/classes

We recommend that you use the vncserver script to run Xvnc for you.  You can
edit the script as appropriate for your site.  Things you may need to change
include:

 * The location of Perl - if Perl is not installed in /usr/bin you'll need
   to edit the "#!/usr/bin/perl" first line of vncserver.

 * $vncClasses - this specifies the location of the Java classes for
   the VNC viewer applet.  The default is /usr/local/vnc/classes.

 * Xvnc's font path and color database.  If you have an installation of
   X which is not in the standard place you may need to add arguments to the
   Xvnc command line to set these.  These should be appended to the $cmd
   variable at the comment "# Add font path and color database...".
