Installation |
11 |
------------ |
12 |
rdesktop uses a typical GNU-style build procedure: |
13 |
|
14 |
% ./configure [options] |
15 |
% make |
16 |
% make install |
17 |
|
18 |
where documentation for [options] can be found by running "./configure --help". |
19 |
Usually no options are necessary. The default is to install under /usr/local, |
20 |
this can be changed with --prefix=directory. |

22 |
Invocation |
23 |
---------- |
24 |
|
25 |
% rdesktop [options] server |
26 |
|
27 |
where server is the name of the Terminal Services machine. Note: if you |
28 |
receive "Connection refused", this probably means that the server does not have |
29 |
Terminal Services enabled, or there is a firewall blocking access. |
30 |
|

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