Requests for extensions
robc:
One feature that I would like to see in TC is a VNC extension. I actually tried creating one yesterday but ran into some problems. TightVNC would be good since it includes its own X tree to build the Xvnc server but I imagine that it would be quite difficult to port to the new pciaccess version of Xorg that we use. So I tried RealVNC instead...I got through the build of the wrapper files but when it came to building Xvnc it requires you to build the complete X tree (maybe I should of read the whole instructions first), something I'd rather not do but I don't know a way around it. I also assumed that you need Xorg to run the new versions of vnc...perhaps I should look into the possibility of building it across TinyX?
Are there any other options for vnc?

Are you looking for a VNC server or a client?

if you look in the linux-from-scratch ncurses section, it explains how to get around that ;)

are you referring to this:
--- Quote from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter06/ncurses.html --- Finally, make sure that old applications that look for -lcurses at build time are still buildable:
rm -vf /usr/lib/libcursesw.so
echo "INPUT(-lncursesw)" >/usr/lib/libcursesw.so
ln -sfv libncurses.so /usr/lib/libcurses.so
ln -sfv libncursesw.a /usr/lib/libcursesw.a
ln -sfv libncurses.a /usr/lib/libcurses.a

or perhaps something like --without-debug ? it saddens me to learn that ./configure varies from source to source, and is only a script that may not even include the same name (config.sh) let alone identical options. even roberts's suggestion of "use ./configure help" is not standard, as "configure" is a script native to each project, not a reusable tool. instead i used "cat config.sh | grep -i prefix" to see if it shared any options with the one for zile.

You perhaps need both parts:
--- Quote --- Many applications still expect the linker to be able to find non-wide-character Ncurses libraries. Trick such applications into linking with wide-character libraries by means of symlinks and linker scripts:
for lib in curses ncurses form panel menu ; do \
rm -vf /usr/lib/lib${lib}.so ; \
echo "INPUT(-l${lib}w)" >/usr/lib/lib${lib}.so ; \
ln -sfv lib${lib}w.a /usr/lib/lib${lib}.a ; \
done
ln -sfv libncurses++w.a /usr/lib/libncurses++.a
Finally, make sure that old applications that look for -lcurses at build time are still buildable:
rm -vf /usr/lib/libcursesw.so
echo "INPUT(-lncursesw)" >/usr/lib/libcursesw.so
ln -sfv libncurses.so /usr/lib/libcurses.so
ln -sfv libncursesw.a /usr/lib/libcursesw.a
ln -sfv libncurses.a /usr/lib/libcurses.a
