RealVNC  has released VNC 4.0...I would like to see the arch package updated as well.

OK
This patch allows VNC 4.0 to build with gcc 3.4  -- i based it off of a post in the VNC lists that redhat posted for the beta verison of this.
It replaces min( with std::min(
I compiled it successfully, and even made a pkgfile -- but I can not figure out how to compile Xvnc with it.   It appears as if they are asking for a piece of the XFree86 distribution in the readme.  This patch is the furthest I've gotten (i am able to use x0vncserver -- nad it's awesome)
can someone figure out how to build Xvnc?

hey, thanx a lot for the patch - i can build vnc 4.0 now without trouble, great!
i'm going to update it in extra and have decided to exclude Xvnc out of the vnc pkg
Xvnc 4.0 is NOT longer in the vnc pkg
why?

Building Xvnc
=============
Building Xvnc and the VNC support for native X servers is much more complex.
If you don't need to build it, skip to the section below on installing.
Xvnc differs from the other programs in that it is built inside the X source
tree.  Unlike previous versions of Xvnc, we do not provide an X source tree
with this distribution.  We have designed the distribution to be as independent
as possible of the X tree used.
We have successfully used XFree86 version 4.3.0, 4.2.0 and 3.3.6 (available
from http://www.xfree86.org).  You could also try the original X.org tree
available from http://www.x.org but this does not build as easily because of
lack of support for C++, no support for building server only, and other issues.
Note that the X tree is enormous and notoriously difficult to deal with -
building it is not for the faint-hearted!
Once you have a copy of the X source tree, make sure it is unpacked at the top
level of this distribution, so that the xc directory of the X source tree
matches the xc of this distribution, for example:
  % tar xzf X420src-1.tgz
Then you must apply a patch to some files in the X source tree:
  % patch -Np0 <xc.patch
If this works, you should be able to build the entire X tree, including Xvnc:
  % cd xc
  % make World
This will take a long time, and will quite probably fail for one reason or
another!  If you are having trouble, we suggest you try to build the X tree in
isolation first before attempting it with the VNC additions.
If successful, in the xc/programs/Xserver directory you should find an Xvnc
binary, plus the native X server binary(ies) for your platform with VNC support
compiled in.  If you are building from an XFree86 version 4 tree on a supported
platform, you should also find a vnc.so module in
xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/modules.
Exactly which X extensions and features are built into Xvnc and the native X
server binary is determined by the settings in xc/config/cf.  The file vnc.def
contains the settings we use to build our binary distributions.  You may need
to edit this and the other files as appropriate.
