anyone gotten vnc 4.0 to compile yet?

[Edmonds, Alan]

I got it to compile by placing

#include <sys/types.h>

in <vncsrc>/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/XserverDesktop.h on line 34 (just after the #include <os.h>)

I built this against the X430src- tree on FreeBSD 4.7.  I then copied the vnc.so module 
to a FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE box running Xorg 6.7.

No problems, but I haven't extensively tested it yet.

I modified the XF86Config file as per the instructions on RealVNC's page: http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html

If your native X server is an XFree86 version 4 server, then the vnc.so module should be copied to the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions directory. It can be enabled like any other module by adding a Load "vnc" line to the Module section of XF86Config. The parameters listed in the Xvnc manual page can be set as options in XF86Config. You will need to set either the "passwordFile" parameter or set the "securityTypes" parameter to "None" if you really don't want any authentication. Note that options cannot be set in the Module section of XF86Config - try the Screen section. For example: 

Section "Module"
        ...
        Load "vnc"
EndSection
...
Section "Screen"
        ...
        Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection
