Arch Linux User Repository

I can't get the Sourceforge download to work correctly anymore. Maybe they changed something?

But the project also hosts releases on Github, so perhaps it's better to get the tarball from there? Current one:

https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/archive/2.2.4.tar.gz

Edit: strangely enough, I encounter this problem only on one machine. Maybe our corporate domain blocks Sourceforge or something like this.

If you get this error:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.14/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
  Could NOT find Java (missing: Java_JAR_EXECUTABLE Java_JAVAC_EXECUTABLE

  java/CMakeLists.txt:1 (find_package)

Check the default Java environment:

$ archlinux-java status

Then set it to a compatible one:

# archlinux-java set java-13-openjdk

Both packages provide the same command /bin/vncviewer and /bin/vncserver ?

Then, test and send a patch

I was planning to but I'm asking WHY it's marked as conflicting. Is there a problem or unknown? Thanks

@newbthenewbd Done, with the downside that we now depend indirectly on the JDK

I'd like to be able to have both available like they are on other distros (eg. Ubuntu).

Then, test and send a patch

FYI I hit this error.

Why does this conflict with TigerVNC? I'd like to be able to have both available like they are on other distros (eg. Ubuntu).

The jdk-openjdk requirement actually forces the usage of Java 11 to compile turbovnc. As far as I'm aware, to properly relax that requirement, java-environment should be made a dependency, instead.

If turbovnc does not work with Java 7 and older, the java-runtime and java-environment dependencies could also be changed into java-runtime>=8 and java-environment>=8, respectively.

Thanks for the hard work maintaining the package!

I think the java-runtime=8 requirement of this package can be relaxed, as it works just fine with java 11 (the jre-openjdk) from the repos. By reading the changelogs I think java 11 is now officially supported too.
