• libgtk2.0 (>= 2.18.0)
• libglib2.0 (>=2.22.0-0)
• x11proto-core
• libwxbase2.8 (>= 2.8.9)
• libwxgtk2.8 (>= 2.8.9)
• libssl-dev

For Building under Windows:

• Download RD Connection Manager source.
• Download and install wxWidgets – version 2.8.9 and above (www.wxwidgets.org)
• Download and install OpenSSL (www.openssl.org)

Installation instructions

Building under Unix-like systems

1. Unpack archive.
   cd /path/to/rdpdesk-x.x.x/
   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure
   …
   checking wxWidgets version… 2.8.9
   checking GTK2.0 version… 2.18.3
   checking GLIB2.0 version… 2.22.2
   checking libssl version… 0.9.8k
   checking X11/Intrinsic.h usability… yes
   checking X11/Intrinsic.h presence… yes
   checking for X11/Intrinsic.h… yes
   checking X11/keysym.h usability… yes
   checking X11/keysym.h presence… yes
   checking for X11/keysym.h… yes
   configure: creating ./config.status
   config.status: creating Makefile
   config.status: creating src/Makefile
   config.status: creating src/config.hpp
   config.status: src/config.hpp is unchanged
   config.status: executing depfiles commands
   config.status: executing libtool commands

   make
   make install
   

2. To build the deb package, run the following command in the directory where you unpacked archive:

   cd /path/to/rdpdesk-x.x.x/
   dpkg-buildpackage

Building under Windows systems

1. Add OpenSSL files in Visual Studio:
   • Copy the content from “OPENSSLPATHinclude” to “VISUALSTUDIOPATHVCinclude”
   • Copy the content from “OPENSSLPATHlibVCstatic” to “VISUALSTUDIOPATHVClib”
   • OPENSSLPATH – OpenSSL path
   • VISUALSTUDIOPATH – Microsoft Visual Studio path
   • Open rdpclients.sln by the instrumentality of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
2. Change wxWidgets paths in RD Connection Manager project settings.
   
   • Additional Include Directories: WXWIDGETSPATH lib\vc_libmsw; WXWIDGETSPATH Include;.gui;.guiconfig;.proto;.
   • Additional Library Directories: WXWIDGETSPATH lib\vc_lib, WXWIDGETSPATH – wxWidgets path ( for example – C:wxWin).
3. Build RD Connection Manager.
