 Replying to [comment:16 nathanielbailey@…]:
 > The "main" reason I need tightvnc is because of the '-via' option.  This
 creates SSH tunneling and vncviewer via tighvnc can be run via command
 line script and not from an SSH window.  I work on multiple servers a day
 and having a script and using the -via option is pretty much the only way
 to go without running a linux box in order to run tightvnc.

 Well you could try it out. I was not familiar with ssvnc but from what I
 can tell it is a patched version of tightvnc and wrapper scripts
 distributed as a precompiled binary that you can put on a USB stick or
 other convenient location. As such, it should not affect anything you do
 with MacPorts.

 They also provide a source distribution from which we could attempt to
 make a port in MacPorts. However according to the readme it still uses
 imake so it would also suffer from the problem reported in this ticket.

 > I don't want to ruin my current install of tighvnc to try something that
 may not work and not be able to get work done.

 As long as you don't run "sudo port uninstall tightvnc", your old tightvnc
 installation should continue to exist.

 > Any suggestions?

 We need to either fix this port and other imake-using ports to work with
 clang's cpp, or make them depend on and use e.g. gcc-4.8's cpp instead.
