I see, I changed it back to TEST_SCRIPTS.

The build scripts for tightvnc are indeed quite convoluted. I was
stuck for quite a while at a place where there was a missing flag "-f
xmakefile", and gmake wasn't executing the right Makefile. I suspect
some changes I'm making to the Makefile aren't really necessary, but
it's very time consuming to figure out what are the perfect options,
and I only want to have something running, as soon as possible, with
the intention to clean it up later.

What I really don't like about the way tightvnc is built is that the
script don't always stop on errors. For instance:

gmake[7]: Entering directory
`/home/maciej/src/opencsw/pkg/tightvnc/trunk/work/build-isa-sparcv8/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/config/makedepend'

okay, continuing in programs/Xserver/cfb32

...and then it finally fails with:

cc: acomp failed for include.c
gmake[7]: *** [include.o] Error 1
gmake[7]: Leaving directory
`/home/maciej/src/opencsw/pkg/tightvnc/trunk/work/build-isa-sparcv8/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/config/makedepend'

I'm wondering whether anybody has ever built it on Solaris; I guess
not. Now I need to track where is the flag
-I/usr/openwin/share/include/X11 coming from and fix it.

I've committed the current state of the build to the repository:
