We are working on this and your help is something I very much
appreciate. If you visit the ViewTouch Build page you can see what
we've done so far in that aspect.

How does one compile the program

https://github.com/ViewTouch/viewtouch/wiki/Building

How does one start the server engine.
What does the server engine do?
What ports does it operate?

X typically uses port 6000 while the printers typically use port 9100.
I will soon be doing a howto for printing. We use CUPS for that.

What are the dependencies?
The graphics files - Where are they?

The link for these is on the 'Build Page' shown above. At ViewTouch the
link, just made available yesterday, is
http://www.viewtouch.com/download.html

Thank you for all you've done so far, Thomas.

Yeah, I have no idea how to make it work at the moment I just have a black screen with please wait.

If I remember correctly, that means you are missing the graphical files.

http://www.viewtouch.com/download.html

I don't see a link for the Graphical Data files there, just for the Android app, the Easy Installer, and the PDF.

This problem has been fixed; the vt_data file with its System Pages is now automatically downloaded from the ViewTouch web site if ViewTouch finds it to be missing when ViewTouch runs.

This error was reported by someone and I have also experienced it, but only on the Raspberry Pi, which is an ARM processor. I don't experience it on the X86 processor.
