To simplify building external channels and other plugins related
paths are now exported in the pkg-config file and the cmake package.
The paths can be used to install channels/plugins/extensions in
the configured search paths.
For pkg-config the following variables are now available:
* datadir
* plugindir
* proxy_plugindir
* extensiondir
They can be queried like: `pkg-config freerdp3 --variable plugindir`
The cmake package has three new variables that can be used:
* FreeRDP_PLUGIN_DIR
* FreeRDP_PROXY_PLUGIN_DIR
* FreeRDP_EXTENSION_DIR
Note: Depending on the build the directories are not necessarily created.
Currently it is not possible to cleanly install multiple major version
of FreeRDP concurrently as some of the development libraries (.so files)
files can conflict.
This change renames all libraries to include the major version number in
the library name to fix this limitation.
The list of changed libraries:
libwinpr-tools.so -> libwinpr-tools2.so
libwinpr.so -> libwinpr2.so
libfreerdp.so -> libfreerdp2.so
libfreerdp-client.so -> libfreerdp-client2.so
libfreerdp-shadow.so -> libfreerdp-shadow2.so
libfreerdp-server.so -> libfreerdp-server2.so
libfreerdp-shadow-subsystem.so -> libfreerdp-shadow-subsystem2.so
libuwac.so -> libuwac0.so
As the library names have changed, projects that use FreeRDP will need to
update their dependencies. -
If pkg-config or cmake find modules are used, reconfiguration might be
sufficient.
Fixes#3460
With this commit the "exported" components (usable with pkg-config and
cmake find module package)
* winpr - winpr library and headers
* freerdp - core library and headers
* freerdp-client - client specific library
* freerdp-server - server specific library
* rdtk - rdtk headers and library
To allow the installation of multiple different version (different major
number) the include files were moved into the respective sub folder:
freerdp -> freerdp{MAJOR}/freerdp (currently freerdp2/freerdp/)
winpr -> winpr{MAJOR}/winpr (currently winrp1/winpr/)
rdtk -> rdpk{MAJOR}/rdtk (currently rdtk0/rdtk/
The generated pkg-config and cmake find modules now also include the major
version number. Currently the following pkg-config are generated and
installed.
* winpr1
* freerdp2
* freerdp-server2
* freerdp-client2
* rdtk0
As cmake is able to handle multiple versions out of the box the
following can be used to find a specific module:
find_package(WinPR)
find_package(FreeRDP)
find_package(FreeRDP-Server)
find_package(FreeRDP-Client)
find_package(RdTk)
As cmake doesn't automatically resolve dependencies for packages it is
necessary to manually include the requirements. For example if
FreeRDP-Client is required WinPR and FreeRDP need to be included
(find_package) as well.
This commit also fixes the installation when STATIC_CHANNELS are built.
WITH STATIC_CHANNELS all channels are linked into libfreerdp-client, for
this all channels are generated as linker archive and linked together in
the final step. Before the intermediate linker archives were, although
not required and useful, installed. Same applies for server side
channels.
* generate pkg-config files top level to make sure all
exports are available (eg. client/server)
* .pc libs section is now generated from export libraries
* update .pc file to use .private fields (prevent overlinking)
