# gtk-vnc-1.5.0

## Introduction to Gtk VNC

The Gtk VNC package contains a VNC viewer widget for GTK+. It is built using coroutines allowing it to be completely asynchronous while remaining single threaded.

### Note

Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

## Installation of Gtk VNC

Install Gtk VNC by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
    ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

## Command Explanations

`-D with-vala=disabled`: This switch disables building of the Vala bindings. Add this if you decide to build gtk-vnc without vala installed.
