NOTE: to compile the C daemon you must have a working AOSP source tree, and copy it to external folder. Do something like: $AOSP_SRC=/path/to/aosp $VNC_DAEMON=/path_to_vnc/droidvncdaemon cp -fr $VNC_DAEMON/droidvncdaemon $AOSP_SRC cd $AOSP_SRC . build/envsetup.sh # lunch mmm external/droidvncdaemon Thats it. You will have androidvncserver_froyo (for 2.2 down) and androidvncserver_ginger (for 2.3+) in $AOSP_SRC/out/target/product/generic/system/bin/
