Vine VNC Server (OSXvnc)
The code in this Git repository is based on the CVS repository at http://osxvnc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/osxvnc/. It was created using this command:
git cvsimport -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/osxvnc OSXvnc
Vine was developed at Redstone Software which was acquired by TestPlant.
This is a modified private copy of the original software.
News
2021-01-29
libjpeg-turbo is now included as a git submodule and built using local build rules.
The build rules build now a universal app which supports both Intel and Arm64 Macs.

libjpeg-turbo now is only needed for building. It is no longer required for running the server.
The software license was updated from GPL 2 to GPL 3.
2016-11-20
Builds now require https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ or a compatible libjpeg.

Vine VNC server now also works with high resolution (retina) displays (thanks to Tom Sealy who wrote the new code).
Building
Vine VNC server requires Xcode to build a distributable packet from sources.
In addition, it uses the JPEG library libjpeg-turbo. The source code for that library is included as a Git submodule.
Building from Xcode
Build the libjpeg-turbo library first by running ./build-libjpeg-turbo.sh.
Then open OSXvnc.xcodeproj in Xcode and build the "Vine Server Package".
You will find the distributable at /tmp/VineServer.dmg
Building from the command line
Run these commands from the command line:
./build-libjpeg-turbo.sh
xcodebuild -configuration Deployment
Again you will find the distributable at /tmp/VineServer.dmg
