Description Will B 2021-01-08 22:11:22 UTC 
- FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p1 running on amd64 architecture
- libvncserver 0.9.12_2 - binary package installed from 'pkg install'

After building and running the SDLvncviewer.c example program at:

https://libvnc.github.io/doc/html/_s_d_lvncviewer_8c-example.html

I attempted to connect to any TightVNC server running on Windows 7 or 10 and receive the following error (gdb output):

(gdb) r

This appears to be an issue only on FreeBSD as building and running this works fine on Linux.

Build command line was:

$ cc -Wall -o sdlvncviewer sdlvncviewer.c -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include/SDL2 -L/usr/local/lib -lvncclient -lSDL2 -O0 -g

$ cc --version
FreeBSD clang version 10.0.1 (git@github.com:llvm/llvm-project.git llvmorg-10.0.1-0-gef32c611aa2)
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd12.2
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

Thank you! :-)

Try building libvncserver from Ports. We are on 0.9.13 now.

If that does not work, try rebuilding with SASL support.

Please report whether those two worked for you or now.

(In reply to Neel Chauhan from comment #1)

Thanks Neel.

I would rather not mix Ports and Packages.  Doing so has caused much pain in the past.  Should I file a bug report to update the libvncserver package to 0.9.13?

Thanks! :-)
Comment 3 Will B 2021-01-12 04:36:19 UTC 
Closing because it appears the libvncserver binary package has been updated.  I am no longer seeing this crash.

Thank you! :-)
