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:[email protected]:/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](https://libjpeg-turbo.org/).

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
