Build Status

Vine VNC Server (OSXvnc)

The code in this Git repository is based on the CVS repository at http://osxvnc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/osxvnc/. It was created using this command:

git cvsimport -d :pserver:anonymous@osxvnc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/osxvnc OSXvnc

Vine was developed at Redstone Software which was acquired by TestPlant.

This is a modified private copy of the original software.

News

2021-01-29

libjpeg-turbo is now included as a git submodule and built using local build rules.

The build rules build now a universal app which supports both Intel and Arm64 Macs.

2017-12-15

libjpeg-turbo now is only needed for building. It is no longer required for running the server.

The software license was updated from GPL 2 to GPL 3.

2016-11-20

Builds now require https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ or a compatible libjpeg.

2015-10-10

Vine VNC server now also works with high resolution (retina) displays (thanks to Tom Sealy who wrote the new code).

Building

Vine VNC server requires Xcode to build a distributable packet from sources.

In addition, it uses the JPEG library libjpeg-turbo. The source code for that library is included as a Git submodule.

Building from Xcode

Build the libjpeg-turbo library first by running ./build-libjpeg-turbo.sh. Then open OSXvnc.xcodeproj in Xcode and build the "Vine Server Package".

You will find the distributable at /tmp/VineServer.dmg

Building from the command line

Run these commands from the command line:

./build-libjpeg-turbo.sh
xcodebuild -configuration Deployment

Again you will find the distributable at /tmp/VineServer.dmg
