I'm trying to figure out how to build the x2goclient from source on
Windows from source.
Hi all,
I've made some progress on my own. I can compile the x2goclient, and it
runs from *inside* the msys-bash shell. With a little bit of trickery
(symlink to the X-Server directory inside the release dir) I can now run
my resulting x2goclient.exe binary.
However, I can't get it to link statically to all libraries, the way
that the official binary distribution seems to do.
See below for the steps I used to get this far. Anybody would could
provide the final step of getting the linking right?

Download MingW installer from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/
get the latest mingw-get-inst-*.exe file
Run the installer, install in C:\sw\MinGW
after installation, run C:\sw\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat (or open the shortcuts
in your start menu/desktop if you installed any)
cd /c/sw/MinGW/msys/1.0/postinstall
sh ./pi.sh
Create c:\home
On My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables, set
HOME=c:\home
Create C:\home\.profile
PATH=$PATH:/c/sw/Qt/4.8.1/bin
export PATH
Download QT from:
http://releases.qt-project.org/qt4/source/qt-win-opensource-4.8.1-mingw.exe
install in c:\sw\Qt
Make sure to point to the MinGW installation used above.
Download libssh from:
http://winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/repository-4.8/win32libs/libssh-x86-mingw4-0.5.2-1-bin.tar.bz2
http://winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/repository-4.8/win32libs/libssh-x86-mingw4-0.5.2-1-lib.tar.bz2
(libssh seems to be very hard to compile on mingw. Its build-system is based
on CMake, which I don't think is available on mingw. The KDE people have
done
the hard work however, so we use their results)
cd /usr/local
tar zxf .../path/to/libssh-x86-mingw4-0.5.2-1-bin.tar.bz2
tar zxf .../path/to/libssh-x86-mingw4-0.5.2-1-lib.tar.bz2
Build a custom version of openssl ("mingw-get install msys-openssl" doesn't
seem to install a compatible version, as static linking doesn't work
with that
one).
Download OpenSSL from:
http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz
cd ~
tar zxf /path/to/openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1c
./configure mingw --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
(make install takes a long time, it installs like 10K man pages,
somebody could
probably find out how to install this without man pages in order to
speed this
up)
Download x2goclient source code from:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/x2goclient/x2goclient_3.99.2.0.tar.gz
cd ~
tar zxf /path/to/x2goclient_3.99.2.0.tar.gz
cd x2goclient_3.99.2.0
Edit x2goclient.pro file
Replace the part that says:
win32-* {
message(building $$TARGET for windows without ldap and cups)
LIBS += -lwinspool -lws2_32
CONFIG += static release
}
with:
win32-* {
message(building $$TARGET for windows without ldap and cups)
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include
LIBPATH += /usr/local/lib
LIBS += -lssl -lcrypto -lwinspool -lws2_32
CONFIG += static release
}
make build_client
