Xvnc Compile Error " No Rull to make target 'vnc/Xvnc/libxvnc .a', needed by Xvnc"

[John Aldrich]

You do realize, of course, that Fedora doesn't use XFree86. Rather it uses
XOrg. Small but significant difference. Not that this would have anything
much to do with your error...

Hi All,

I am using a Fedora2 linux box and downloaded the vnc source from redhat
site name  "vnc-4.0b4-unixsrc.tar.gz". As Given in the README file 
I downloaded the XFree86-4.2.0 Source and applied the patch with command
"patch -Np0 <xc.patch"

Following is the output of patch
__________________________________________________

Then as per README I went to xc directory and given "make World".

_____________________________________________________

I complied this in all XFree864.3, 4.2.0, 4.2.1 every time I am getting the
same error message.

Please help me what I am doing wrong.

regards
Susant
