Hi all,
recently some of you have (successfully) attempted to build X2Go
Client from source on MS Windows systems.
As you probably know, the reserved page on the wiki is yawningly empty: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient
Can you win32-building-successfully guys take over that task of
filling the above given wiki page?
THANKS!!!
Mike

I totally agree and ask for help here, and btw: I really think we need to rework/update things. I really don't think its a good idea to ship <OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007> with the most recent version. There are just way to outdated components involved (especially everything which relates to cygwin). This asks for trouble. Since cygwin provides newer packages http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=openssh I think there are options. We would even sponsor the open step-by-step documentation to some extent. Just contact me for details.

That is good news and would be a great contribution to the
transparency of the project. I will allow people to easily build
customized versions of X2Go Client suitable for company deployment.
@Alex: will you get in contact with Michael? Otherwise, I would take
over and teach myself how to build x2goclient and write that down in
our wiki.
Greets, Mike

Hi,
you don't need to have cygwin to build x2goclient for windows. All you need for building x2goclient is Qt+MinGW and libssh. Building of Qt-Applications on Windows is just the same as for every OS - qmake&&make. For x2go client - config_win.bat && make. It is as easy as piece of cake. It is enough if someone want to modify X2Go Client and build it for Windows. All other components - X, pulse, nxproxy, sshd can be easily copied from X2Go Client installer. I see no reason why some one should want to make any changes in this components and why it should be a part of X2Go documentation. Cygwin is used for compiling nxproxy and for sshd. Yes, I know, there is a newer version of Cygwin as legacy version used with x2goclient at that time. I have tried it, and there are many changes regarding registry and directory structure in it. It is not possible without spending a lot of work to use it with x2goclient. And I'm not ready to do this work for free. Every one who want to do that is welcome.
regards Alex
