FreeRDP Extension

[tbuitendyk]

I've compiled the 2.2.0 FreeRDP source for use on 32-bit CPUs ... thin client, etc.  I'm making an extension for the new binary...this is being done because the FreeRDP extension in the library seems to be broken against older RDP server versions, such as Windows Server 2008.  Is this of interest to anyone -- is there a protocol to upload it to the library?  Couldn't log into the Wiki to find out about the protocol.

Hi tbuitendyk
Welcome to the forum.

Here is a mirror site for the Wiki:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:start
Instructions for submitting are here:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:creating_extensions#submitting

It is customary to check with the existing maintainer whether it is OK to update an extension. According to this:
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86/tcz/freerdp2.tcz.info
the current maintainer is Juanito. Maybe wait until he sees this and responds.

OK, thanks for that ... I'll check the Wiki mirror links you left.  Certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes ... just want to help with it if I can.  thx a lot

... just want to help with it if I can. ...

Help is alway appreciated. Give Juanito a chance to respond. It's quite possible he'll tell you to go ahead.

Please go ahead and submit the extension - take a look at the wiki to check that you used the appropriate compiler flags so that it works for all users.

OK, thanks, I'll do that when I get a chance.

(Because I've got a client waiting, for the immediate need I have to just go ahead and install the personal extension I built for his Neoware CA19 thin client which is confirmed to work fine on an old 486 machine of Windows XP era.  After I've got that taken care of I'll go back and review the shared extension building notes and recompile if necessary before publishing anything to the repository.)
