Hi,

Indeed, Qt4 is not supported on Windows 10 at all, as the latest Qt
4.8.x release happened before the Windows 10 release. In fact, Qt 4 is EOL:

https://forum.qt.io/topic/81521/build-qt-4-8-7-on-windows-10-platform
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/supported-platforms.html

No idea how much effort this would take, but would it make sense to
release a new version of x2goclient that is built with Qt5.x?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html

This would drop support for Windows XP, but I think nobody would cry
about that... @Mihai?

ps. Qt6 was released yesterday, which also drops support for Windows 7.
Suppose that would be a bit too radical :)

Hmm, it looks the recommended qt version ist from 2014 - that was
BEFORE Windows 10, AFAIR. So maybe you could try a Windows 7, just for
building the packages. I do not know how Mihai is creating packages.

Hi all,

Today I've tried to set up a build environment on my Windows 10 laptop so I can 
(try to) debug this. I've tried to follow the instructions from:

https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient

However it fails at the step where you need to compile the static version of 
Qt. The QT build system doesn't seem to support the specific Windows version, 
as I'm getting the following build error:

$ ./configure -release -static -openssl -qt-style-windowsxp 
-qt-style-windowsvista
Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?

Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition.
Type 'o' if you want to use the Open Source Edition.

o

-qt-style-windowsxp: invalid command-line switch
-qt-style-windowsvista: invalid command-line switch

    The specified system/compiler port is not complete:

       /c/Qt/4.8.6/mkspecs//qplatformdefs.h

    Please use the contact form at http://qt.digia.com/contact-us

Note the empty path between the "mkspecs" and "qplatformdefs.h" directories. 
There is supposed to be a symbolic name there identifying the type of system.

Does anybody have any updated build instructions for x2goclient on Windows? Or 
did I just miss something obvious?

Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.1.2.2

Windows 10, x2goclient 4.1.2.2

When resuming a "paused" x2Go session, x2goclient is using the wrong
X-Server settings.

I have configured my x2goclient with the following
settings for X.Org Server settings:


**X.Org Server settings**
[X] use custom X-Server
Executable: C:/Program Files (x86)/x2goclient/VcXsrv/vcxsrv.exe
[ ] start X-Server on X2Go Client start

Window mode: -screen 0 %wx%h -notrayicon -clipboard -keyhook \
     -nowinkill -nopn -silent-dup-error
Fullscreen mode: -fullscreen -notrayicon -clipboard -keyhook \
     -nowinkill -nopn -silent-dup-error
Single application: -multiwindow -notrayicon -clipboard \
     -keyhook -nowinkill -nopn -silent-dup-error
Whole display: -nodecoration -notrayicon -clipboard -keyhook \
     -nopn -silent-dup-error -screen 0 @

My x2goclient session is configured as:

**Session preferences: Input/Output**
[ ] Fullscreen
[ ] Custom     Width (greyed out 3696) Height (greyed out 2160)
[X] Use whole display [ ] Maximum available     Display: 2

When I start a new x2Go session, it correctly runs the X-Server with the
"Whole display" command (as per Windows Task Manager):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe" \
     -nodecoration -notrayicon -clipboard -keyhook -nowinkill \
     -nopn -silent-dup-error screen 0 @2 :0

But if I then "pause" this session and reconnect, x2goclient uses the
"Window mode" command line options instead:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient\VcXsrv\vcxsrv.exe" \
     -screen 3696x2160 -notrayicon -clipboard -keyhook \
     -nowinkill -nopn -silent-dup-error :0

I suspect this has something to do with the
code around line 4442 in onmainwindow.cpp, but I've not been able to
figure out the exact details yet.
