Chunkviewer on OSX using Wineskin

[Stefke]

I recently discoverd ChunkVNC, and boy, it's a fine product. Too bad my main homecomputer is a mac. So I looked at different viewers, but none did what I needed, or I couldn't get them to work (ssvnc) with my repeater. So I decided to try the windows version under wine. (using wineskin)

Got it working from the first time.

Thanks for the great product !

Thanks for the compliments!
I've never heard of wineskin until today, neat program and good to know that ChunkViewer works in it just fine!

Huh, I never even <b>thought</b> about trying VNC under WINE -- I guess because I didn't realize WINE supported OSX, which is the *nix OS I use most often.

If one can run all the parts of UltraVNC and/or ChunkVNC and/or the repeaters in OSX and Linux, that kind of changes the game!

I wonder how big it gets or if a single distributable package is even feasible....

Thanks, Stefke.

Well it gets rather big (in my opinion)
The viewer app is around 200MB, but for the viewer that's ok.

For the server part, I replaced the supplied x11vnc with the latest version x11vnc-0.9.12_i386-apple-darwin_8.11.1 (didn't want to try te test version yet) and added "-ultrafilexfer" to the connectstring, and filetransfer is working.

Now the only thing I still need is a password. I can add "-password xxx" (maybe put the password in servers.txt, but how secure will that be ?)
