Build TightVNC 1.3.10 – xmkmf: command not found error

By | 24th January 2016

Background

Installed TightVNC server 1.3.9 on a new 64 bit Debian with KDE but did not work as expected so try to build version 1.3.10 and have encounted a number of issues. I did not finish the build because out of time.

xmkmfL command not found

Firstly Because it is a new machine so xmkmf is not installed (by default) hence got this error

"xmkmf: command not found" .

Issue resolved by install xutils-dev package

apt-get install xutils-dev

Missing header files
