Coincidentally, I was reading about this earlier today.

FreeNX - low-bandwidth replacement for VNC
by Ben 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Hi everyone, I was wondering if what anyone knows or thinks about a Mac port of the "FreeNX" NX server? Briefly, what NX essentially is, is a replacement/alternative for VNC. But it's much, *much* faster and more responsive, because it uses much lower bandwidth than VNC. VNC is fine to use over LAN or really fast ADSL, but it's almost unusable over anything slower than really fast ADSL. Even on a LAN, VNC, while pretty darn good, you can still very much tell that it's a network display. Apparently, with NX, you almost can barely tell at all. You can even run NX server (eg "server B") on another server on a LAN, and tunnel VNC (eg from "server A") over it - it somehow decodes the VNC data sent from server A, reencodes it into NX protocol on server B, and then from a remote machine on a slow link you can connect to server B using NX, and view server A's screen - with the speed benefit of NX instead of VNC. NX was developed as a commercial product, and is sold by the (Italian) developer (NoMachine) as a commercial product. They release the client for free, but you must pay for the server. They did not create/release a server for OS X though (only a client). So paying or not, you cannot run NX server on OS X. However, they opensourced the NX protocol that they created and made it free for use, and the open source community created an alternate free opensource server, called FreeNX. It has been ported to most or all the Linux distibutions, and FreeBSD (and possibly more). However it's never been ported to OS X, as far as I can find. I've downloaded the source (freenx-0.6.0.tar.gz) and while I can usually build and install "normal" packages like postgres/apache/php etc, freeNX is a more complicated build and I don't know how to do it (I'm far from being an expert with building/compiling). I wondering (and hoping) if anyone might be interested in figuring out how to build it on OS X and create a MacPort... Any thoughts/comments/etc welcomed! Relevant links: NoMachine (the developer) http://www.nomachine.com/ Free download OS X client for NX http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-macosx.php FreeNX server http://freenx.berlios.de/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/freenx/ Download link for FreeNX source tarball http://prdownload.berlios.de/freenx/freenx-0.6.0.tar.gz Regards, Ben

Whereis path
by Alex Kac 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Of course, when I do a "whereis" it gives me stuff in /usr/bin. How do I get whereis to show me the path in /opt/local? Alex Kac - President and Founder Web Information Solutions, Inc. - Microsoft Certified Partner "Patience is the companion of wisdom." --Anonymous

Well yeah, but I'm so used to whereis :) I guess since I'm getting used to the /opt/local dir now instead of /usr/ I should get used to a new command. find is kind of slow, though. That's why I liked whereis. which seems to work just fine too. Thanks.

Compile for EM64T?
by Dan Delaney 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi all. When using MacPorts on a Core 2 Dua Mac, is there someplace in the MacPorts config files where I can tell it to always compile for EM64T instead of i386?

gcc's crt0.o
by Michael Brian Bentley 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

I find that I'm using macports more and more as I try to do builds using scripts that were developed on GNU/Linux systems with GNU versions of tools. I am finding that there's just enough difference in the use of some tools like sed and cp (of all utilities, cp?) that force me to add the GNU version to /opt/local/bin using mac ports so I can move on. I have a command line tool that I'm trying to build on OS X for OS X, using gcc 3. During the link phase, it searches for, but can't find crt0.o. When I run this build script on a machine using a SuSE distribution of GNU/Linux, no problem. I'm using the macports installs for gcc41 and gcc42. According to some recent reading, http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_2.html for example, I get the impression that crt0.o is something that's provided by the gcc compiler for the target platform. I see crt0.o provided with the arm-elf xcompiler builds of gcc, but not for the intel / intel versions of gcc. The linker is definitely looking for crt0.o, and the script that calls gcc does not mention crt0.o anywhere. The crt0.o file is mentioned in numerous other places for other builds. I have found other files that seem related, like crtbegin.o, crtbeginS.o, and so on. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, -Mike

Apparent guile problem in upgrade of gnucash?
by Kurt L 05 Apr '07

As a large, complicated port with many dependencies, gnucash 2.x seems to be gooding at uncovering subtle port problems.

I had some goofiness yesterday where it tried to install guile16, but complained that guile was already activated; I just tried the command later in the day and it progressed through the problem. Thank you for any advice you may have. Kurt L.
