Yan-
I made one change to the vncserver.c. There was a reference to httpCheckFds
that should have been rfbHttpCheckFds.
I still can't get it to compile with the LINKAPPINTOSERVER set to Y.
The libvnc example program runs perfectly without asking for a password.
This makes me think that there is some change to be made in the nano-x calls
to remove the password option. I tried setting the password with vncpasswd
but it still doesn't accept it. I will try your change.
The makefile change that I made was in the nanox file. I changed
CCNANOXSERVERLIBS to just NANOXSERVERLIBS. I couldn't see that the CC was
ever defined.
