rdesktop uses a typical GNU-style build procedure: |
12 |

% ./configure [options] |
14 |
|
|
% make |
15 |
|
|
% make install |
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
where documentation for [options] can be found by running "./configure --help". |
18 |
|
|
Usually no options are necessary. The default is to install under /usr/local, |
19 |
|
|
this can be changed with --prefix=directory. |

Invocation |

|
|
---------- |
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
% rdesktop [options] server |
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. Note: if you |
27 |
|
|
receive "Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have |
28 |
|
|
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access. |

|
|
|

|
|
The rdesktop manual page lists the possible options ("man rdesktop"). |
