building source error, error: ‘struct xrdp_client_info’ has no member named ‘monitorCount’

hi there, after running the previous steps, executing 'make' results in the following errors:

` CC rdpGlyphs.lo CC rdpPixmap.lo CC rdpInput.lo CC rdpClientCon.lo rdpClientCon.c: In function ‘rdpClientConProcessMsgClientInfo’: rdpClientCon.c:959:31: error: ‘struct xrdp_client_info’ has no member named ‘monitorCount’ 959 | if (clientCon->client_info.monitorCount > 0) | ^ rdpClientCon.c:962:84: error: ‘struct xrdp_client_info’ has no member named ‘monitorCount’ 962 | client monitor data, monitorCount=%d", clientCon->client_info.monitorCount)); | ^

I appreciate any help. thanks

It looks like your xrdp version and xorgxrdp versions don't match.

You xorgxrdp version looks to be around 0.2.15, based on those errors. The include file xrdp-client_info.h which you are picking up appears to be from a later version.

Does that make sense?

hi there matt, thanks for your help and response. your answer makes a lot of sense but this was not the the issue in my case. it seems that i did not rename the source code folders and kept the version numbers within the folder names. after i deleted them and tried again including the move command for renaming the folders it worked. Could that have been the issue? i don't know for sure. thanks a lot.

You can build with make V=1 to see exactly what is being passed to the compiler. That might make it clearer where the include file is being picked up from.
