tsclient-0.150 packaged up for OpenSolaris/i386

I’ve been playing around with OpenXVM in the last few days, trying to see whether the really annoying VNC mouse pointer offset problem has been solved in build 91. It hasn’t, at least, not with vncviewer.

While searching for other VNC client software, I came across tsclient, a front end for RDP, RDP5, VNC and XDMCP connections. With this invoking vnc, that mouse pointer problem appears to be solved!

Yay!

I liked it so much that I’ve packaged it up (gzipped SysV package format) for others to use, and I’m going to contribute the pkg smarts back to the maintainers once I’ve figured out how to make it more general.

If you’d like to grab a copy, here are the details:

Built on Solaris Nevada build 89 (amd64 architecture) as a 32-bit application. I’m hoping it’ll just work on Solaris 10, but you might need some extra libs (GTK2, fr’instance) in that case – let me know via comments to this entry.

Download it here. Once you’ve gunzipped it, it’ll install to /opt/JMCPtsclient. There’s a symlink (/usr/bin/tsclient) as well, for ease of use.
