Building the TigerVNC Server on Unix/Linux Systems

[Nooshin Eghbal]

Hello,

I could build the viewer successfully but for building the server, I do not know how to get access to xorg-x11-server-source directory.

I have installed xorg with apt install xorg on my Debian system, should I download the source separately?

My system is: 

Debian 6.1.90-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks,

Nooshin

Yes. There is a package called xorg-server-source on Debian that
contains the appropriate version.

I would suggest looking at the packages for Ubuntu for how to best build
things on Debian:
