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
----

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 expects the JPEG library [libjpeg-turbo](https://libjpeg-turbo.org/)
installed in directory `/opt/libjpeg-turbo`.
A suitable binary package for macOS is available at
[SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/).

### Building from Xcode

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 this command from the command line:

    xcodebuild --configuration Deployment

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