Why you need NX server
How to install NX server on Raspberry Pi
Prepare the build environment
You need the following packages to build NX server. Use apt-get to install them on your pi:
- xutils-dev
- expect
- xorg-dev
- libjpeg8-dev
- libpng12-dev
Command:
sudo apt-get install xutils-dev expect xorg-dev libjpeg8-dev libpng12-dev
Compiling NX components
NoMachine has released the component source here. There is also a official guide to compiling the components and it is a good source of information. The components you need to build the NX servers are (as of Sept 13/2012, you may see a different version, but component name won't change):
- nxproxy-3.5.0-1
- nxcomp-3.5.0-2
- nxcompext-3.5.0-1
- nxcompshad-3.5.0-2
- nx-X11-3.5.0-2
- nxauth-3.5.0-1
- nxagent-3.5.0-9
- nxscripts-3.5.0-1
You can SSH to your Pi and use "wget" to download the files.
Now you should have total 8 files:
pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $ ls -l total 22180 -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1510400 Jul 12 16:40 nxagent-3.5.0-9.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 30671 Jul 12 16:39 nxauth-3.5.0-1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 532999 Jul 12 16:40 nxcomp-3.5.0-2.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 91725 Jul 12 16:40 nxcompext-3.5.0-1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 77293 Jul 12 16:39 nxcompshad-3.5.0-2.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 80194 Jul 12 16:39 nxproxy-3.5.0-1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 25664 Jul 12 16:39 nxscripts-3.5.0-1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 20345475 Jul 12 16:39 nx-X11-3.5.0-2.tar.gz pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $
Unpack all files (use "tar -xzvf <filename>" command), you should have the following directories (I moved gz files to a different directory):
pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $ ls -l total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 12288 Jun 15 2011 nxcomp drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 May 9 2011 nxcompext drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 May 9 2011 nxcompshad drwxr-xr-x 3 pi pi 4096 May 9 2011 nxproxy drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 May 9 2011 nxscripts drwxr-xr-x 10 pi pi 4096 Aug 5 2011 nx-X11 pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $
Now compile individual components, it make take a while, so go grab a cup of coffee and relax:
cd nxcomp ./configure make cd nxcompext ./configure make cd nxcompshad ./configure make cd nxproxy ./configure make cd nx-X11 make World
