VNC-Server -> Compilation fails: documentation outdated?

[buggybunny]

Hey folks,

i am trying to compile the UVNC-server but building the server fails during the compile-process.

First some system information:

- System is windows XP, service pack 2
- Compiler is Borland 5.5 as recommended
- VNC source version is 102

The compiler is configured correctly, i followed exactly the instructions given in "Building with BCC.txt". (adjusting linker-path etc to my system of course)

When i try to compile the sources via:

Code: Select all

.\build-bcc32.bat

i get the following output:

Code: Select all

ClientConnection.cpp:
Warning W8008 ClientConnection.cpp 2279: Condition is always false in function ClientConnection::SetupPixelFormat()

As you can see, the two main errors seems to be:

Code: Select all

Error E2451 ClientConnection.cpp 2480: Undefined symbol 'i' in function 

Error E2451 winvnc\vncbuffer.cpp 842: Undefined symbol 'b' in function vncBuffer::GreyScaleRect(rfb::Rect &)

What's going wrong here?

Could it be that the information given in "Building with BCC.txt" is outdated?

How do i get this up and running?

The function definition issues are straightforward. Old-style arg declarations are used:

E.g.

Change this ==>

void deskey(key, edf)
unsigned char *key;
int edf;
{
...
...

To this ==>

void deskey(unsigned char *key, int edf)
{
...
...


Note that the args are now simply defined in the parens.

It doesn't surprise me that the compiler flagged this. Personally, I haven't used the old style for probably 15 years or more.

Sorry,
I only use vs2005 and Vs2008

Undefined symbol 'i' in function , i guess the cause is something like
this.

some compilers require
for (int i=0)
and fail on
int i
for (i=0)
