building vnc for w95

[Dick Thompson]

I am trying to build VNC for windows 95.  The viewer built with
no problems.  I got a number of error messages when I tried to
build the server with MSDevStudio using the supplied .dsw.  Some were
related
to CORBA, and others to omnithread, so I exported the makefiles, and started
building with the No_Corba option using nmake, and was only partially
successful.

Problem #1: This may not be a VNC problem, but I could not build VNCHooks
using
the Makefile that devstudio created.  In fact I could not get the makefile
to
recognize any dependecies, but did get link errors because the object file
could
not be located.  I tried the following to test how nmake was treating
dependencies.
foo2.txt : foo.txt
   copy foo.txt foo2.txt   and nmake did nothing.
The makefile for the omnithread directory worked fine.  Nothing in the path
is a long
name until I get to the omnithread,no_corba directories.

Problem #2:  So I made a batch file using the command line options in
cpp_proj, and
got the VNCHooks.dll to compile and located in the correct directory.  When
I run the
makefile for the server I get unresolved reference errors for _SetHook, and
_UnSetHook.

Help on either problem?
