So I finally got around to building from source, and found einkvnc does indeed work on my Kobo Clara HD, with droidVNC-NG (from F-Droid) running as VNC server on my phone! The display is upside down and there is no touch on the Kobo, but the resolution is clear and the response is good for browsing.

Note* If someone is building Plato with the Linaro build tools, they might get a GLIBC not found error as described here:
https://kobzol.github.io/rust/ci/202...der-glibc.html

I took their advice and used an old Linaro release from here:
https://releases.linaro.org/componen...nux-gnueabihf/

Also the download.sh script in the /eink-vnc-main/client/ folder referred to a non-findable target so I changed the line to:
archive="plato-0.9.34.zip"
and plopped that zip (that was produced by the plato build) in the folder.
I need to build this VNC client in order to add 'Kobo Elipse2E' support which is currently missing. And using the larger screen for VNC was my main goal when buying this device.

However, I can't get the thing to compile, did anyone manage to get it done on reproducible environment like docker or github actions?

My attempts failed so far; not having any rust or C dev experience, I can't make much sense out of the problem outputs. https://github.com/ivy-rew/eink-vnc/actions

The normal build.sh fails like this:

And with the 'slow' flag like that:
