The tarball ssvnc-x.y.z.src.tar.gz contains a source only distribution
of SSVNC (GUI scripts, Unix vncviewer, and java filetransfer helper)
for unix.

This source distribution should be more convenient for software
distributors, e.g. distro maintainers.  It will also be useful
for sysadmins (or others) who do not want to use the pre-built,
"one-tarball-fits-all" SSVNC bundles.

QUICK START:
-----------

For those in a rush who do not want to read the details below:

	tar xzf ssvnc-x.y.z.src.tar.gz
	cd ssvnc-x.y.z
	make config
	make all
	make PREFIX=/usr/local install

then run ssvnc, ssvncviewer, read manpages etc.

PREFIX is set to the destination install directory.  root permission
(e.g. sudo) may be needed to install into /usr/local, /usr, etc.

To skip the Java applet jar for the ultravnc filetransfer helper set
JSRC to the null string:

	make JSRC="" ...

for all of the make commands.


UNPACKING:
---------

It will unpack to a directory named ssvnc-x.y.z

	tar xzf ssvnc-x.y.z.src.tar.gz
	cd ssvnc-x.y.z


BUILDING:
--------

Inside that directory, ssvnc-x.y.z, typing 'make' will configure the
build.  (equivalent to 'make config'.)

	make config

The Imake (xmkmf command) system must be installed for the config
to work.  Also, the javac and jar commands must be available (version
1.4 or later) on the build machine.

If the xmkmf ('make') succeeded, one can next run 'make all' to build
the Unix vncviewer and UltraVNC filetransfer helper java program.
This also builds the vncstorepw password helper utility.

	make all

GNU make is required for making the java helper program.

See DEPENDENCIES below for more information.


LIBRARY LOCATIONS:
-----------------

If some libraries are in non-standard locations (i.e. not /usr/lib and
/usr/include and other ones picked up by default); even though it is a
bit awkward one can do something like the following via environment
variables.

Suppose libjpeg was located in directory /usr/place1, and libz was in
/usr/place2, and libssl/libcrpyto was in /usr/place3. Also suppose we
want the package installed into /usr/dest1.  This build script should
work in general (customize to your environment and OS, linker, etc):

#!/bin/sh
#
# Build script for ssvnc source tarball that sets jpeg, zlib, and ssl
# library locations.

JPEG_INC='-I/usr/place1/include'
JPEG_LIB='-L/usr/place1/lib -lz'

ZLIB_INC='-I/usr/place2/include'
ZLIB_LIB='-L/usr/place2/lib -lz'

CPP_SSL='-I/usr/place3/include'
LD_SSL='-L/usr/place3/lib'

PREFIX=/usr/dest1

export JPEG_INC JPEG_LIB ZLIB_INC ZLIB_LIB CPP_SSL LD_SSL

# To build on Solaris 10 with gcc uncomment the two lines below
# and use 'gmake' instead of 'make' below.
#
#CC=gcc;       export CC
#CCOPTIONS=''; export CCOPTIONS

make -e config
make -e all
make -e PREFIX=$PREFIX install

exit


Here is a 1-liner for Solaris 10 (assumes libjpeg in /usr/local):

	env PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:$PATH CC=gcc CCOPTIONS='' CPP_SSL='-I/usr/sfw/include' LD_SSL='-L/usr/sfw/lib' gmake -e config all


TURBOVNC/TURBOJPEG:
------------------

To build with the turbovnc/turbojpeg support described here:

	http://www.virtualgl.org/

you can do something like this:

make config
make EXTRA_LDOPTIONS='-L/some/place/turbojpeg -Xlinker --rpath=/some/place/turbojpeg -lturbojpeg' CCOPTIONS=-DTURBOVNC all
make PREFIX=/other/place install

This requires that you download the libturbojpeg.so library:

	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117509&package_id=166100

and refer to the directory you put it in the EXTRA_LDOPTIONS.


INSTALLING:
----------

If the 'make all' succeeded, one can next do a make install.

The default install location is /usr/local.  See PREFIX in Makefile.

	make install
or
	make PREFIX=/my/place install

These files will be installed:

  -rwxr-xr-x       79 /usr/local/bin/ssvnc
  -rwxr-xr-x       79 /usr/local/bin/tsvnc
  -rwxr-xr-x       80 /usr/local/bin/sshvnc
  -rwxr-xr-x   202304 /usr/local/bin/ssvncviewer
  -rwxr-xr-x   202304 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/vncviewer
  -rwxr-xr-x     8404 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/vncstorepw
  -rwxr-xr-x     7659 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/unwrap.so
  -rwxr-xr-x     4499 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/lim_accept.so
  -rwxr-xr-x    14256 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/ultravnc_dsm_helper
  -rwxr-xr-x      145 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/sshvnc
  -rwxr-xr-x     2906 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/ssvnc
  -rwxr-xr-x     6137 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/ssvnc_cmd
  -rwxr-xr-x      141 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/tsvnc
  -rw-r--r--     1146 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/util/stunnel-server.conf
  -rwxr-xr-x    42477 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/util/ss_vncviewer
  -rwxr-xr-x   343235 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/util/ssvnc.tcl
  -rwxr-xr-x    98755 /usr/local/lib/ssvnc/util/ultraftp.jar
  -rw-r--r--     5192 /usr/local/man/man1/ssvnc.1
  -rw-r--r--    27149 /usr/local/man/man1/ssvncviewer.1

The commands 'ssvnc', 'tsvnc', 'sshvnc', and 'ssvncviewer' should now
be in the user's $PATH.

All the helper utilities (not expected to be run directly by a user) are
down in $PREFIX/lib/ssvnc

To change the destination set the PREFIX=/path on the make cmd line, e.g.:

	make PREFIX=$HOME/SSVNC install
	make PREFIX=/tmp/ssvnc  install
	make PREFIX=/usr install

Include MANDIR=share/man to install the man pages into
$(PREFIX)/share/man instead of simply $(PREFIX)/man

This 'ssvncviewer' binary installed in bin is a peer to ones like
'xtightvncviewer', 'xvncviewer', etc. that one often finds Linux distro
packages for.  'ssvncviewer' is an enhanced version with useful features.

The user can run this for more information:

	ssvncviewer -help

Set BINNAME to the empty string to skip installing ssvncviewer; so as
to only install the ssvnc GUI programs in bin.  E.g.

	make BINAME="" PREFIX=/usr install


A Desktop Entry is installed into share/applications/ssvnc.desktop.

Set APPS to the empty string to skip installing ssvnc.desktop, e.g..

	make APPS="" PREFIX=/usr install


INSTALLING TO A ROOT/STAGING AREA:
---------------------------------

Set ROOT to a staging area directory for an install that thinks
it is installed in $(PREFIX) but is really in $(ROOT)$(PREFIX).

	make ROOT=/tmp/stage1 PREFIX=/usr install

will give a /usr based install in /tmp/stage1/usr/...


DEPENDENCIES:
------------

SSVNC is a nice hack, it glues together a number of programs and scripts
to make something fairly useful.  However, because of this it has a lot
of dependencies; many of them unexpected.


Build-time dependencies:
-----------------------

  We mentioned these above: xmkmf, javac, jar (sun java 1.4 or later).

  A basic X11 build environment and libraries is needed:

    libXaw
    libXmu
    libXt
    libSM
    libICE
    libXpm
    libXext
    libX11

  as well as these compression libraries:

    libjpeg
    libz

  For the ultravnc_dsm_helper these are needed:

    libcrypto

  Of course gcc/cc and make.  Also strip(1).


Run-time dependencies:
---------------------

The most important one is:

  stunnel

unlike the SSVNC bundles, stunnel is not included and the system one
(version 4.x) must be installed.

Note that since stunnel is typically installed into /usr/sbin instead
of /usr/bin, the SSVNC wrapper script takes this into account and tries
to extend $PATH to be able to find it.


Main run-time dependencies:
-------------------------

  tcl/tk   (wish)
  perl
  xterm
  ssh
  openssl  (the command, not library)
  java     (sun java 1.4 or later (not gcj), for ultravnc filexfer)

  See the X11 libraries in the build list above.

  libjpeg
  libz

  For the ultravnc_dsm_helper these are needed:

  libcrypto



Misc Unix utility dependencies:
------------------------------

  host
  hostname
  nc
  netstat 
  ps
  smbclient
  stty
  uname

For Zeroconf listings one of:
----------------------------

  avahi-browse
  dns-sd
  mDNS

Unix shell utilities dependencies:
---------------------------------

  awk
  cat
  chmod
  date
  dirname
  egrep
  expr
  grep
  head
  kill
  killall
  ls
  mknod
  mktemp
  printf
  rm
  sed
  sleep
  sum
  tail
  touch
  tr
  uniq
  wc
  whoami

There may be some that have been missed (let us know if you find any).

Note that to have the primary functionality not all of the dependencies
need to be met.  For example, java is only needed for the UltraVNC
filetransfer.  smbclient is only used if they try to mount their SMB
shares on the remote side.

The wrapper scripts will often try to cope if a utility is not present.
