We’re putting together an INSTALL file for the project, for the meantime let me add some brief instructions here:

There are quite a few dependencies involved:

ZLib
LibPNG
OpenSSL 
FreeRDP
PThreads-Win32
EHS (https://github.com/cloudbase/EHS.git)

Some notes:

The EHS build is now based on CMake:

cmake . -DTHREADS_PTHREADS_WIN32_LIBRARY=“..."

Same for the FreeRDP-WebConnect build:

cmake . -DTHREADS_PTHREADS_WIN32_LIBRARY=“..." -DEHS_ROOT_DIR=“…”

This should help as a starting point until the INSTALL file is ready, let me know if it helps!


Thanks,

Alessandro
