Re: [X2Go-User] x2goclient on windows

We want to use the x2goclient on windows. There is currently no download for 
the latest version and the 4.1.2.2 version seems to be unstable when starting 
connections. The 4.1.2.0 version looks to be working OK.
Problem is that all versions have security issues, because some of the dll's 
(like libssh and OpenSSL) are outdated.
Is it planned to have a windows release in the near future that has more 
up-to-date dependencies incorporated?


We are currently severely understaffed on the volunteer side, so both
Windows and macOS Clients won't see a release any time soon.
For Windows, there is a "Beta" build that at least incorporates the
kdriveclient.

However, if you have a business use case, feel free to sponsor the work
on these releases by contracting one of the companies listed here:


Be warned, though, there is quite some technological debt involved, as
no one bothered to sponsor work on this in the last few years, so this
isn't going to be cheap, no matter which one of these companies you
contract.

Basically, the entire build environment needs a proper overhaul, upgrade
to a new Windows client version, etc.

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur

Hi,

I am not involved in Releases, so I cannot directly answer your
question. But you can build your own x2goclient on Linux, too (see
https://gitlab.x2go.org/x2go/client/x2goclient/-/blob/master/README.mxe),
which should be easier to setup than a Windows build host. This build
should come with recent versions of those libs. Maybe that's an
option?
