Rdesktop for OS/2 & eComStation ------------------------------- This is the rdesktop port for OS/2 and eComStation. RDESKTOP is a client for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), used in a number of Microsoft products including Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. Main website of rdesktop http://www.rdesktop.org/ Installation ------------ 1. You need RPM/YUM. Type command: yum install libc libgcc1 gmp or use Arca Noae Package Manager to install these packages. You can download and install these libraries manually: http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/libc-0_6_6-26_oc00.zip http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/gcc-4_9_2_1-3_oc00.zip http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/gmp-5_0_2-2_oc00.zip 2. You will need gnutls 3.5.8 and nettle 3.3. These libraries can be downloaded from Hobbes: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?button=Search&key=gnutls http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?button=Search&key=nettle 3. Optional. Rdesktop for OS/2 uses 'kiconv.dll'/'iconv2.dll'/'iconv.dll' or OS/2 Uni*() API (the first that will be found is used). You can download 'iconv2.dll' from Hobbes: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?button=Search&key=libiconv-1.14 4. Install Rdesktop from WPI installation packet. Starting rdesktop ----------------- Simplest way to run Rdesktop. Drag a template Rdesktop out of the templates folder to the desktop or other folder and fill minimum required properties: host, user name and domain. Or you can create program object to launch RDP session. For example: Path and file name: * Parameters: /c RDESKTOP.EXE -g75p -r disk:home=D:\home -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD -r sound -u WinUser -p ChangeMe 192.168.1.10 Working directory: C:\Programs\rdesktop For a full list of command line switches, type: rdesktop.exe -? Rdesktop for OS/2 specific features ----------------------------------- Improved clipboard support - formatted text and images are supported. Fullscreen and seamless modes can be toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Enter. RDESKTOP_MODE environment variable: RDESKTOP_MODE=option1,option2... where options is: NORESIZE - Do not change size of remote desktop to local window size when user changes it. WINPOS - Output position and size of the window to stdout on window close: #winpos=X,Y,Width,Height . SHAREAUDIO - Enable audio device sharing. I do not think that this is a useful option. The audio device can be opened and closed by Rdesktop many times, to play each individual sound. Note that this environment variable is overridden by the Rdesktop WPS Object. Command line switch "-r comport:...": -r comport:COM2=com1 : enable serial device redirection of local com1 to COM2. Command line switch "-r clipboard:[PRIMARYCLIPBOARD|CLIPBOARD]" PRIMARYCLIPBOARD - Rdesktop will be informed whenever the local clipboard contents change ("clipboard viewer" mode). CLIPBOARD - Rdesktop will check changes in the local clipboard only when the window is activated. This mode is more preferable. Command line switch "-g[WxH|P%|W%xH%][@DPI][+X[+Y]]|workarea": The symbol '%' can be replaced by the symbol 'p'. --- Donations are most welcome!
