# wayviewer

A small Wayland-friendly VNC viewer written in C++.

## Build

Dependencies:

- CMake 3.16+
- C++17 compiler
- SDL2 development files
- libvncclient development files
- pkg-config

## Install

```sh
./install.sh
```

Uninstall:

```sh
./install.sh uninstall
```

System install:

```sh
./install.sh --system
```

Custom prefix:

```sh
./install.sh --prefix /path/to/prefix
```

## Build Manually

```sh
cmake --preset default
cmake --build --preset default
```

For a debug build:

```sh
cmake --preset debug
cmake --build --preset debug
```

## Run

```sh
./build/wayviewer HOST:5900
```

Use `./build/wayviewer --help` for all options.

## Launcher

Launching `wayviewer` without arguments from wofi opens graphical prompts for:

- server address
- username
- password
- quality

Install the binary and desktop entry into your user prefix:

```sh
cmake --install build
```

Then open wofi in `drun` mode and choose `wayviewer`.

## Source Layout

- `src/main.cpp`: process entry point
- `src/options.*`: command-line parsing and wofi or terminal prompts
- `src/vnc_client.*`: VNC client setup and callbacks
- `src/viewer_state.*`: framebuffer state and dirty rectangles
- `src/input.*`: SDL input translation
- `src/sdl_app.*`: SDL window, rendering, and event loop

## Why?

Because I needed a VNC viewer that didnt suck and so here it is. Provided with no warranty to anyone who wants to build off of this hunk of complete trash
