Beta Fl_TeacherTool for Edubuntu

[Philipp Hanselmann]

Hi Robert

I managed to get FL_TeacherTool working.

Now I will try to build a debian package, for easy distribution.

After I have build the package and get a debian package with the dh_make and dpkg-buildpackage , which of this packages do I still need for fl_teachertool just to use it (package dependencies)?

build-essential libfltk1.1 libfltk1.1-dev libxpm-dev
vnc4server xtightvncviewer zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev xscreensaver


I going to test the FL_Teachertool today with 20 computer to see how the 
performace is...Up to know with one thin client, I noticed that 
everything except locking the screen is working ?
