🌸 SakuraKVM VNC Server Daemon

This is the daemon process implementation for SakuraKVM VNC Server.

Here is what the SakuraKVM Project is:

SakuraKVM is an out-of-the-box, all-in-one keyboard and mouse video over IP solution.
The KVM over IP, which means keyboard, video, and mouse, is controlled by a simple network port,
Allows you to control your device remotely instead of sitting in front of the device itself.

This is an IoT hardware project, we aimed to provide a simple, easy-to-use, and cross-platform solution for KVM over IP.

This project is still under development, want's to contribute? Feel free to make an pull request!

⭐ Build

1. libvncserver-sakura, which is a forked version of libvncserver we provided, is required and has to be installed first. You can find it here. Follow the instructions in the README.md of libvncserver-sakura to install it.
2. libcedarc, the user-space allwinner Cedar video engine library (This is a closed-source lib from allwinner, but we don't have other choices), is required and has to be installed. You can find it here. Install it with the following command:

   $ sudo ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi \
        LDFLAGS="-L/root/libcedarc/library/arm-linux-gnueabi" \
        CC=gcc \
        CCAS=gcc\
        CPP="gcc"\
        CXX=g++\
        CXXCPP="cpp"
   $ sudo make CFLAGS="-w" # disable the warning due to allwinner's stupid strncpy problem
   $ sudo make install
   $ sudo cp library/arm-linux-gnueabihf/* /usr/local/lib/
   $ sudo cp include/* /usr/include/
   $ sudo cp openmax/include/* /usr/include/

3. Build this project with the following command:

   $ git clone https://github.com/PaserTech-Hardware/SakuraKVM-VNC
   $ make

4. All done, you can find the binary file in bin/ directory.
