----------------------------------------

             Summary: README of guacamole-server is out-of-date
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-145
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-145
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation, guacamole-server
    Affects Versions: 0.9.10-incubating
            Reporter: Michael Jumper
            Priority: Critical


From [~jmclean] regarding the [0.9.10-incubating (RC2) release vote|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/201612.mbox/%3CB6E93324-682C-4690-966B-EC0A4E39DDFE%40classsoftware.com%3E]:

When configuring the server I get this error:

{code:none}
configure: error: "libpng is required for writing png messages"
{code}

But I do have libpng installed:

{code:none}
brew install libpng
Warning: libpng-1.6.26 already installed
{code}

Is OSX a supported platform? It would be nice if the README had a bit more information on how to compile and what the dependancies are. For instance I think the instruction "Before compiling, you need to have compiled and installed libguac, the core Guacamole library” may possibly be misleading?

The guacamole-server README is out-of-date and does not correctly cover the current build process. The actual required/optional dependencies are listed only in the manual (http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html), while the README lists dependencies which are actually now part of the guacamole-server build (libguac).

If the README is to be "quick and to-the-point documentation" covering building Guacamole, as it explicitly states it is intended to be, this needs to be fixed.
