Hello,
I compiled the npx2goplugin.dll plugin and put it in the plugins directory of a firefox portable or chrome portable on Windows 7 or Windows XP.
In the list of installed plugins the plugin is listed and activated in both browsers but when I call the webserver address of the x2go Site, Chrome says the plugin cannot be loaded and Firefox stays at a white window. The server side is working fine because a linux client with a precompiled x2goclient-plugin can connect without any problems.
I installed the prerequisites as listed in http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient to compile the plugin.
- Fetched the latest git version 4.0.3.0
- Adapted x2goclient\x2goclient.rc because of an compile error
- Adapted x2goclient\qtbrowserplugin-2.4_1-opensource\src\qtbrowserplugin_p.h because of an compile error
- run config_win_plugin.bat and build_win_plugin.bat
The plugin npx2goplugin.dll is created with a size of 12752 KB.
When I try to run this plugin on the same host where the build environment is installed, the plugin is loaded with an error "X-Server cannot be started", but I think this is a configuration error but at least it gets loaded. Does this mean, that some (Qt?) libraries are missing for running the plugin on hosts with no Qt build environment? Did I miss something?
Has anyone successful compiled and is using the x2goplugin for windows?
Thanks for your help!
Klaus
Hi Klaus,
hopefully, once you succeed, you can help us getting the X2Go Plugin
for windows into our download area.

The X2Go Plugin was a customer project and the builds of Windows
versions of the plugin has been discontinued recently.
The plugin was developed before the change-over rom Xming to VcXsrv
IIRC. So, it may well be that not all required binaries/dlls/etc. are
stuffed into the npx2goplugin.dll.
You need to ship VcXsrv in that container, as well (I know this
doesn't sound funny, having an XServer shipped as a mozilla plugin,
but that how things work in X2Go on Windows).
