From the kvncviewer README:
Quote:
In order to build kindlevncviewer, you can use GNU make. Specify a toolchain prefix as "ARCH" variable:
make ARCH=arm-linux-gnueabihf
and it should build luajit, zlib, libjpeg and finally libvncclient.

How do you find the toolchain prefix that your device requires? I've searched around for this with no luck. I'm trying to install this on a Kindle PW1.
When I try to just run the make command as above on my Mac from
kvncviewer-arm-linux-gnueabihf-v1.0.0-1-g38f1188.zip in the OP, this happens:
Code:
evan@Evans-MacBook-Pro:~/Downloads/kvncviewer$ make ARCH=arm-linux-gnueabihf
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Good point make, I don't see any makefiles in the project
I think I'm missing some important step here...
Back on my PW1, if I just try using the luajit executable included in the zip, this is what happens (you can skim just the bolded part, rest is for context on my setup and the file permissions):
Code:
evan@Evans-MacBook-Pro:~$ ssh root@192.168.15.244
Welcome to Kindle!
root@192.168.15.244's password:

[root@kindle kvncviewer]# ls -l luajit

Stepping back, my goal is to try out this Kindle PW1 as an external e-ink monitor because I've been experiencing a lot of eyestrain. I don't expect a snappy UI, but I'm hoping it might work well enough to use for emails, coding, maybe web browsing. Is kvncviewer a good bet for this or are there other tools/approaches you'd recommend?
