See the Acknowledgements section below, and the individual files for details of the conditions under which they are made available.

There are two programs here:

vnc2dl - this is a VNC viewer which outputs to a DisplayLink device
        instead of to the desktop.

vncpasswd - this program allows you to change the password used to
        access your X VNC desktops.  It creates a password file which
        vnc2dl might one day be able to use!

First you must have at least some parts of X installed because vnc2dl still uses some of the X build utilities. Also, the TightVNC components require JPEG and zlib libraries installed in the system (e.g. under /usr/local) You'll need the DisplayLink libdlo library installed, and this also requires a recent libusb.

On Ubuntu 10.04, I had to do:

sudo aptitude install xutils-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libusb-dev

to pull in some of the dependencies.

To build everything, do:

% xmkmf
% make World

This should build the vncauth library which is used by each of the programs, then vnc2dl and vncpasswd.
