Description Fabrice Bellet 2012-10-10 13:12:02 UTC
It would be great to add support for the Xrandr extension in libvncserver and x11vnc. 

To make it works, it seems that libvncserver needs to be rebuilt with the --with-x11vnc configure option, and the supplementary buildrequires (libX11-devel, libICE-devel, libXext-devel, libXtst-devel, libXrandr-devel, libXinerama-devel, libXfixes-devel, libXdamage-devel,openssl-devel), so LIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_LIBXRANDR is defined in /usr/include/rfb/rfbconfig.h from libvncserver-devel. x11vnc needs to be rebuilt using this libvncserver-devel and the same buildrequires.

I tested this update locally since a couple of days, and it seems stable to me (the tigervnc client correctly resizes the windows when the remote display size is updated).

Sounds good. But first step on libvncserver.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 02:49:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

gosh, never noticed this before sorry, looks easy enough to fix, though I have to say adding extraneous build dependencies in libvncserver for stuff itself never uses is ... well, not a good approach.  But, that's what upstream is doing. :-/

%changelog
* Sat Dec 21 2013 Rex Dieter <rdieter> - 0.9.9-10
- include additional dependencies for x11vnc (#864947)
- %%build: --disable-silent-rules
- cleanup spec, drop support for old rpm (el5)

I'll take care of rebuilding x11vnc against this new version in rawhide.


I'd be open to issuing updates for f19/f20 too, if you like (though I would prefer to avoid non-critical updates to f18 at this point).

Thanks for libvncserver! I think x11vnc also needs to be rebuilt with these supplementary dependencies:

from http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/x11vnc/0.9.13/10.fc21/data/logs/x86_64/build.log

> checking for XRRSelectInput in -lXrandr... no
