Install examples in BINDIR #599

Closed sergiomb2 closed 10 months ago

bk138 commented 10 months ago

I don't think installing the examples makes sense. Their intended audience is developers (which can build them from source) not users.

sergiomb2 commented 10 months ago

that is the point, examples especially the client examples, have tools that looks very promising like SDLvncviewer, vnc2mpg, camera, sshtunnel, filetransfer etc (which I just discovered this weekend)

they all lack the manual , but if it is too much install in bin dir , can we install it in /usr/share/libvncserver ?

thank you

bk138 commented 10 months ago

If you can point me to another project that installs examples, then we can give it a go. I just don't want to ship the examples as user tools, which they are not (in terms of readiness/functionality...).

Mhm, I'm not convinced TBH. Those are utils for users, but programs like https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/blob/master/examples/server/example.c serve no user benefit, their reason for being is to be informative to developers. We could maybe install the source code under the share/doc prefix to have the examples at hand when looking for docs in the installed package.
