Compiling

[gesquive]

How are you supposed to compile this? It almost looks like you have too compile as part of the full Remmina source code.

I've provided a separated package called remmina-plugin-builder which aims to ease the process of building the remmina plugins without having to use the remmina source code.

Just clone remmina-plugin-builder and remmina-plugin-rdesktop repositories, then copy the remmina-plugin-rdesktop folder inside the remmina-plugin-to-build folder (under the builder directory), then move into the builder and compile everything with

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .
make
make DESTDIR=/usr install

If you're an Arch Linux user you could give a look to the package in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/re/remmina-plugin-rdesktop/PKGBUILD

I'm trying to compile this plugin in Debian 7 using your instructions, but the resulting Makefile does nothing. (i.e.: running make or make all gives no output).

This is the output from cmake. Is it relevant the warning about a missing CMakeLists.txt in the remmina-plugin-to-build directory?

  CMake does not support this case but it used to work accidentally and is

Forget my last comment:

I copied the plugin as a subdirectory of remmina-plugin-to-build. After moving the files directly to the build directory the problem was gone.

Sorry for the noise.
