Installation

on various scarce documentation, wire sniffs, and trial-and-error. It

is released under the GNU Public Licence (GPL). Please send feedback,

rdesktop uses a typical GNU-style build procedure:
|
||||||
bug reports and patches to the appropriate mailing list
|
|
||||||
(http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=24366)
|
% ./configure [options]
|
||||||
|
% make
|
||||||
|
% make install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
where documentation for [options] can be found by running "./configure --help".
|
||||||
|
Usually no options are necessary. The default is to install under /usr/local,
|
||||||
|
this can be changed with --prefix=directory.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Invocation
|
||||||
|
----------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
% rdesktop [options] server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. Note: if you
|
||||||
|
receive "Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have
|
||||||
|
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The rdesktop manual page lists the possible options ("man rdesktop").
|
||||||
|
|

rdesktop is a Sourceforge project. See the Sourceforge rdesktop
