SpiritVNC - FLTK SpiritVNC - FLTK is an FLTK-based multi-view VNC client for Unix-like systems, including Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. SpiritVNC features VNC-through-SSH, reverse (listening) VNC connections and timed scanning of connected viewers.

(OpenIndiana was previously supported, but changes to their packages has caused some problems. Please contact me if you need SpiritVNC - FLTK working on OI)

Dependencies

You will need both the libraries and development packages of the following:

  • fltk 1.3.4, 1.3.5 or newer
  • libvncserver / libvncclient (if separate, you only need libvncclient)
  • libssh2 (NOT libssh)

The 'pkg-config' program must be installed for building, unless you want to specify locations for includes and libs manually in the Makefile.

MacPorts is highly recommended for installing dependencies on macOS.


Building

SpiritVNC - FLTK now requires a compiler that supports C++11.

'cd' into the directory that has the Makefile, then...

On most Linux distros and macOS:

$ make [debug]
$ sudo make install   # (don't use this command when building on macOS)

On FreeBSD, OpenBSD and others:

$ gmake [debug]
$ sudo gmake install
