v4 cover weston: new freerdp backend (branch yem/freerdp)

Hello All!

This series adds the RDP backend to Weston. As a side effect, it cleans up and enhances FreeRDP.

Changes v3 -> v4:
- re-order arch-specific options for ease of review
- rebase; drop applied patch about man pages (Thomas)

Changes v2 -> v3:
- rework completely the depednencies on X11 libraries (Samuel)
- only install keys when the server is enabled (Samuel)

Changes v1 -> v2:
- new package python-lxml, needed for opengl-registry (Tomas P.)
- cleanup opengl-registry and nvidia-driver (Thomas P.)
- drop applied patches (Thomas P.)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

PATCH v4 1/6 package/freerdp: do not forcibly depend on X.Org

It is possible to build the libfreerdp standalone, without X.Org. Having a libfreerdp will be usefull for the weston RDP compositor.

So, only select the strictly required X.Org library if X.Org is enabled, and only build with Xcursor if it is enabled. Drop dependency on other X.Org libraries, as they are not strictly required (or get pulled as dependencies of the mandatory libXext).

Re-order the menuconfig, as freerdp is no longer an X-only application.

# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set

# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set

The error I'm getting are:

-- package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' not found
-- Could NOT find GSTREAMER (missing: GSTREAMER_LIBRARIES GSTREAMER_INCLUDE_DIRS) CMake Warning at cmake/FindFeature.cmake:46 (message):
feature Gstreamer was requested but could not be found! ON / FALSE
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:377 (find_feature)

The GStreamer part of it I've fixed by adding:

+ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_GSTREAMER),y)
+FREERDP_CONF_OPTS += -DWITH_GSTREAMER=ON
+FREERDP_DEPENDENCIES += gstreamer
+else
+FREERDP_CONF_OPTS += -DWITH_GSTREAMER=OFF
+endif

(untested with GStreamer enabled). Once this is added, the remaining error is:

CMake Error at channels/client/CMakeLists.txt:33 (list):
list sub-command REMOVE_DUPLICATES requires list to be present.

My understanding is that the CHANNEL_STATIC_CLIENT_ENTRIES list is empty.

Can you have a look into this?

Thanks!

Thomas

PATCH v4 2/6 package/freerdp: move architecture-specific block

Move the arch-spcific block up, so it does not interfere with followup patches (mostly to ease review).

PATCH v4 3/6 package/freerdp: add options to enable/disable server and/or client

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

Building the client or the server requires an X.Org stack.

Since freerdp can also be used for weston (wayland-based, hence no X.Org stack), we may want to disable the client and server.

Conversely, even with an X.Org stack, we may want to enable either or none if we're just interested in the library.

Add two options, one to enable the server, the other the client; the client option defaults to 'Y' so that a previous .config can be re-used as-is, and exhibit the same behaviour as before; the server option defaults to 'N' as we were not ever building the server so far.

---
Changes v2 -> v3:
- use -fPIC only for that library that needs it, not the whole package (Samuel)
- fix X.Org dependencies (Samuel)
- don't default server to 'Y'
