I know there are feature requests to get FeeeNX into the official
Ubuntu repository, but for some reason this has never happened. It is
very strange that such a useful program isn't, when everything else
is.

Here is how to compile it for Ubuntu 11.10



Get all sources except nx-X11-compat.tar.gz from www.nomachine.com/sources.php

mkdir src
# wget all sources from www.nomachine.com/sources.php
rm src/nx-X11-compat-3.5.0-1.tar.gz
mkdir comp
cd comp
for f in ../src/*; do tar xzf $f;done

aptitude install build-essential

apt-get install expat fontconfig xterm zlib1g libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libpng12-0 libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau1a
libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libfreetype6

apt-get install zlib1g-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libpng12-0-dev

cd nx-X11
make World
cd ../nxproxy
./configure && make
cd ..

mkdir -p /usr/NX/lib /usr/NX/bin
