X11RDP-RH-Matic

What is this?

X11RDP-RH-Matic helps to build and install latest snapshot of xrdp, x11rdp, xorgxrdp (xorg-driver) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or its clones.

This utility is inspired by X11RDP-o-Matic. In other words, Red Hat version of X11RDP-o-Matic.

Please note this utility is oriented to xrdp developers or xrdp early testers.

What this is not?

• xrdp itself
• for all Red Hat "based" Linux

X11RDP-RH-Matic only supports RHEL or its clones. If you can use yum(or dnf)/rpm in your distribution, your distribution is not necessarily supprted.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/metalefty/X11RDP-RH-Matic.git
$ cd X11RDP-RH-Matic
$ ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh

Adding these options is recommended now.

$ ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh --with-xorg-driver --nox11rdp

Use develop branch to try development snapshot.

X11RDP-RH-Matic uses official neutrinolabs repository by default. If you want to build your own fork or other repository, you can override GitHub account, repository and branch via environment variable.

$ GH_ACCOUNT=metalefty ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh # uses https://github.com/metalefty/xrdp.git
$ GH_BRANCH=devel ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh      # equivalent to ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh --branch devel

TODOs

• Build PulseAudio module

Building xorgxrdp (formerly known as xorg-driver)

X11RDP-RH-Matic can build xorgxrdp (aka xorg-driver). Run with --with-xorg-driver option. When you want to build xorgxrdp, probably you don't need X11rdp then also add --nox11rdp option.

$ ./X11RDP-RH-Matic.sh --with-xorgxrdp --nox11rdp
