Install examples in BINDIR

I don't think installing the examples makes sense. Their intended audience is developers (which can build them from source) not users.

[sergiomb2]

that is the point, examples especially the client examples, have tools that looks very promising like SDLvncviewer, vnc2mpg, camera, sshtunnel, filetransfer etc (which I just discovered this weekend)

they all lack the manual , but if it is too much install in bin dir , can we install it in /usr/share/libvncserver ?

thank you

If you can point me to another project that installs examples, then we can give it a go. I just don't want to ship the examples as user tools, which they are not (in terms of readiness/functionality...).

Mhm, I'm not convinced TBH. Those are utils for users, but programs like https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/blob/master/examples/server/example.c serve no user benefit, their reason for being is to be informative to developers. We could maybe install the source code under the share/doc prefix to have the examples at hand when looking for docs in the installed package.
