It comes from one of the source files referring to a variable or
function named "vnc_data_text", and either

	1) no source file defining "vnc_data_text"

or

	2) the source file that refers to "vnc_data_text" not being the
	   same as the source file that defines it, and the the source file
	   that defines it defining it as static

or

	3) no "Makefile.am" file referring to the source or object file
	   that defines it, so that the resulting "Makefile.in" and
	   "Makefile" files don't cause the source file that defines it
	   to be compiled and the resulting object file to be linked
	   into Ethereal.
