[X2Go-Dev] Packaging nx-libs (aka x2goagent) for your distro

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi Oliver, Milan,

Please build x2goagent from nx-libs.git. Tarballs are available here:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs

the symlink...
--------------
nx-libs aims at being a replacement for nxagent (as being used with  
FreeNX, for example) whilst also providing our x2goagent. x2goagent is  
nothing more than a branded nxagent. Originally, Alex forked NX libs  
and nxagent for achieving the branding. However, we recently patched  
some code into original NX code that makes it now possible for nxagent  
to recognize under what name the agent is launched. If that name is  
x2goagent the X2Go branding is turned on, otherwise no branding.

the wrapper script...
---------------------
nx-libs ships with its own X11 library files (libnx-x11, we call the  
package for Debian). With your distro's X libraries nxagent/x2goagent  
will probably fail to run or it will at least be really unstable. You  
have to install NX libs to some non-default library path (e.g.  
/usr/lib/nx) and make sure that nxagent/x2goagent finds only those (by  
tweaking LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and _not_ the distro's X11 libs.

Hope that helps!
Mike
