|
|
|
rdesktop uses a GNU-style build procedure. Typically all that is necessary
|
2009-05-15 13:41:40 +02:00
|
|
|
to install rdesktop is the following::
|
2002-10-09 16:13:46 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-05 06:35:56 +01:00
|
|
|
% ./configure
|
2002-10-09 16:13:46 +02:00
|
|
|
% make
|
|
|
|
% make install
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-05 06:35:56 +01:00
|
|
|
The default is to install under /usr/local. This can be changed by adding
|
|
|
|
--prefix=directory to the configure line.

Note for Subversion users
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have downloaded a snapshot of rdesktop using Subversion, you
|
|
|
|
will first need to run ./bootstrap in order to generate the build
|
|
|
|
infrastructure. This is not necessary for release versions of
|
|
|
|
rdesktop.

Invocation
|
|
|
|
----------
|
2009-05-15 13:41:40 +02:00
|
|
|
Simply run::
|
2002-10-09 16:13:46 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-05 06:35:56 +01:00
|
|
|
% rdesktop server
|
2002-10-09 16:13:46 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2008-01-05 06:35:56 +01:00
|
|
|
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. (If you receive
|
|
|
|
"Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
|
|
|
|
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.)

Smart-card support notes
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2008-01-05 06:35:56 +01:00
|
|
|
The smart-card support module uses PCSC-lite. You should use PCSC-lite 1.2.9 or
|
2006-11-01 21:52:01 +01:00
|
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable smart-card support in the rdesktop just run "./configure" with the
|
|
|
|
"--enable-smartcard" option. Also you can enable smart-card debug with
|
|
|
|
additional "--with-debug-smartcard" option.
