I'm not sure that you can compile tightvnc under cygwin. I have been using
TigthVNC for windows, but it would be more integrated if I can use the tightvnc
client (vncviewer) because you can't pass some parameters (like the password) in
the vnc client for Window and I don't want any graphical interface, just to
execute from other machine the vncclient/vncserver.
Is there any tightvnc package or anybody compiled the tightvnc for Windows under
cygwin?
Cheers,
Alejandro.
