SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
|
|
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
|
|
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
|
|
from a wide variety of machine architectures.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
|
|
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
|
|
quick start you can do
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
|
|
--localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Or to install into a private user specific location
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
|
|
build SPICE
|
|
|
|
Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
|
|
Celt >= 0.5.1.1, < 0.6.0
|
|
Pixman >= 0.17.7
|
|
OpenSSL
|
|
libjpeg
|
|

|
|

|
GE Gui >= 0.6.0, < 0.7.0 (GUI app support)
|
|
OpenGL (GUI app support)
|
|
Alsa (Linux support)
|
|
XRandR >= 1.2 (X11 support)
|

Communication
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
|
|
there is a technical mailing list:
|
|
|
|
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
|
|
|
|
There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:
|
|
|
|
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/
|
|
|
|
To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit
|
|
|
|
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice
|
|
|
|
Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
|
|
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.
