Programming

Hello my friends. I was trying to compile some code that I downloaded from the web. OSXvnc to be precise and I got a compilation error that said "/usr/bin/g++-4.0 failed with exit code 1
can't locate file for: -lrdr

I really need to get this project working so if you guys have any ideas as to how to solve this problem that would be great. thanks a lot

This is not a GCC problem, at all. Gcc 3.4 or whatever would also give the same error. You are missing a library that vnc wants, librdr. But what library librdr is, I do not know.

Hi, yeah, In the Frameworks folder of the project build I am missing a library called libvncauth.a but the problem is that I dont know where to get it from. any Ideas? the thing im trying to compile is OSXvnc in xcode

You need to search for the library file rdr on your system and include it in your library path, or use the full path:

Code:

-l/full/path/to/rdl

I'm not sure how much help a UNIX board will be in debugging an OSX build, unless an OSX expert crops up; I've done enough porting to OSX to know it's sufficiently different from UNIX to make porting things back and forth a royal pain. I'd suggest giving up building it yourself, and using the fink system to build it for you. They've got lots of programs listed for OSX, several varieties of VNC among them.

Sweet thanks a lot ill check it out now
