Nah, it's not even for windows - it runs on the kindle. So I guess if the prior was from running it on a computer (that isn't an arm6 based linux) yeah, that could be it, but the whole thing should run on the kindle. The server spawning version opens port 8080 and shoves a bitmap over it when accessed with a browser (from any os), so http://<kindles ip>:8080/ shows what is on the screen, the other ('bmb') just dumps a screenshot to stdout in the form of a .bmp file. I was using it with the little webserver that was there or came with the jailbreak, putting a script file in cgi-bin on the kindle that was just like 'echo Content-type: "image/bitmap\n" ; ./bmb'. I had way vaster plans for the whole whatever I was doing, it was mostly a convenience thing so I didn't have to reach over and look plus on some of the broken kindles or bare-bone motherboards (I bought some somewhere for like $2-$5 each, for K2/3/4 - hella deal for a functioning arm linux with wifi and a few gigs of space if they could function w/o battery) could be used. Kinda shelved the whole thing (hardware and all) which is why I'm answering super vaguely - if things calm down on some other projects they're expecting stuff on I'll try to dig out a board or kindle and see what exactly I was up to, wasn't anything complicated I just didn't write it up properly (if at all) since it was just a quick stepping stone to some much awesomer thing that would be worth posting about (I think, can't be sure since I have no idea what it was and I think later someone(s) else accomplished it separately).
