# wayvnc

## Introduction
This is a VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors.
## Building
### Runtime Dependencies
* EGL
* libuv
* libxkbcommon
* neatvnc
* OpenGL ES V2.0
* pixman
### Build Dependencies
* GCC
* meson
* ninja
* pkg-config
The easiest way to satisfy the neatvnc dependency is to clone it into the
subprojects directory:
```
mkdir subprojects
git clone https://github.com/any1/neatvnc.git subprojects/neatvnc
```
Setting the buildtype flag is not required but it is recommended as there are
significant performance gains to be had from an optimised build.
```
meson build --buildtype=release
ninja -C build
```
## Running
2019-12-25 11:25:09 +00:00
Wayvnc can be run from the build directory like so:
```
./build/wayvnc
```
:radioactive: The server only accepts connections from localhost by default. To
accept connections via any interface, set the address to `0.0.0.0` like this:
```
./build/wayvnc 0.0.0.0
```
:warning: Do not do this on a public network or the internet. Wayvnc does not
support any kind of encryption or password protection. A good way to protect
your VNC connection is to use SSH tunneling while listening on localhost.
