Notes on getting freerdp server working

freerdp server compile

freerdp

Also need these dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libxkbfile-dev libxv-dev libcups2-dev

Add this option to CMAKE:
-DWITH_SERVER=ON



Issue #600 - server certificates - this requires server.crt and server.key to be in ~/.freerdp/server

 cd ./server/X11/
 mkdir -p ~/.freerdp/server
 cp server.* ~/.freerdp/server
 ./xfreerdp-server
 
 Any time I've run xfreerdp-server, I get "bind: Address already in use", but it is in fact listening on 3389.
 
If you run this over SSH, you get a failed to open display.
     johnh@johngui:~/devel/freerdp-1.0.1/server/X11$ ./xfreerdp-server
     Listening on 0.0.0.0 port 3389.
     bind: Address already in use
     We've got a client 10.100.1.35
     failed to open display:

You have to either run freerdp from a logged in session, or set your DISPLAY environment variable to that of a logged in session (export DISPLAY=:0).

Unfortunately, if I lock the screen, this kills the server.
