I found that the /opt/local/bin folder is in my local path environment variable. This means that all you should have to type is "xfreerdp" (without the quotes) to launch the program from the command line.
I have created a dedicated windows 2008 r2 virtual server on Hyper-V 2012 r2 installed freerdpwebconnect as instructed. When trying to connect to a rdp host gett error 'Could not connect to RDP backend' 1. Yes can connect to the host using a standard rdp client2. Yes have disabled network level authentication3. Tried with name and i/p address4. Tried with a user and without
Wow thank you very much this worked with Debian 7. At first it did not connect but it is working for now. I will continue to test it. This worked better than Remmina but it could be that Remmina uses an older version of freerdp.

FreeRDP will look for plugins in [path to libfreerdp*.so]/freerdp. Guacamole will install its FreeRDP plugins to [default library installation path]/freerdp, typically /usr/local/lib/freerdp, but that will not always match where FreeRDP is looking.

libfreerdp-client.so.1.2 => not found
libfreerdp-utils.so.1.1 => not found

In this go-around:
1. Install Repo packages
2. compile guacd using repo packages
3. observe rdp working fine
4. uninstall repo packages
5. use find / -name freerdp in an attempt to clean up anything left from previous packages. I don't know that this was necessarily, I just wanted to make sure things were clean. If you can't repro. maybe the problem lies here
6. wget -beta1+android9.tar.gz
7. make and install FreeRDP
8. ensure ld configuration is right (our messages above
9. make and install guacd
10. observe FreeRDP crash above
Thanks for posting your query. From shared error, xfreerdp is not able to find default or connected display.
Please verify you have display connected and DISPLAY environment variable is available before running application.
FreeRDP flatpak provides xfreerdp client for systems lacking proper H264 support. This build is focused on compatibility with windows RDP servers and ships custom OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow working connections to older systems like Windows 7 or Server 2008
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. The xfreerdp client can connect to RDP servers such as Microsoft Windows machines, xrdp, and VirtualBox.
An update of FreeRDP arrived in snapshot 20230902. The update of freerdp 2.11.0 had various input validation fixes and addresses potential vulnerabilities to enhance security. The package introduces various CMake options to provide more flexibility in building the package. There are fixes related to LibreSSL and the inclusion of support for big endian systems. The package also had changes in handling the H.264 codec by adopting a new FFmpeg Application Programming Interface. An update of php8 8.2.10 fixes a command-line interface (CLI) server crash and addresses issues in the MySQLnd extension to ensure proper authentication with password accounts and prevents segfaults. SDL2 2.28.3 introduces a gamepad mapping for the G-Shark GS-GP702 and the package fixes touchpad events for the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro controller in PS5 mode. An update of xdg-utils merges an upstream patch and has changes to support KDE Plasma 6 when releases. Several other packages updated in the snapshot including suse-module-tools 16.0.34, virtiofsd 1.7.2 and more.
In 2009, rdesktop was forked as FreeRDP, a new project aiming at modularizing the code, addressing various issues, and implementing new features. FreeRDP comes with its own command-line-client xfreerdp, which supports Seamless Windows in RDP6.[41] Around 2011, the project decided to abandon forking and instead rewrite under Apache License, adding more features like RemoteFX, RemoteApp, and NTLMv2.[42] A commercial distribution called Thincast was started in 2019.[43] A multi-platform client based on FreeRDP including Vulkan/H.264 support followed in summer 2020. There's a GTK-based client named Remmina also based on FreeRDP.
Inadvertently however, this new security feature actually enabled the use of a password hash for RDP authentication purposes, thereby giving many pentesters once again a reason to smile. To add to the validity of the research by Mark, the FreeRDP project has added native support for Pass-the-Hash authentication to the FreeRDP package, which is now in Kali repos. To enjoy this new feature, simply install freerdp-x11:
I have a rclone mounted folder with google drive on a linux pc. I want to share this folder using xfreerdp with the parameter +drives. This work well for every device/folder that I have, but when I pick the rclone folder I have the following error:
xfreerdpis an X11 Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client which is part of the FreeRDP project. An RDP server is built-in to many editions of Windows. Alternative servers included xrdp and VRDP (VirtualBox).
