As of right now, Windows is completely untested. It's entirely possible we can get it to work, I just haven't tried yet. This error in particular looks like the installer was unable to locate the development headers for freerdp which must be present on any system for the build to work.

[vivshankar]

Same error on CentOS 7. I have installed freerdp and freerdp-devel.

[untoldone]

@vivshankar This type of error suggests the build couldn't find the header files it needed rather than a build error itself. Are you sure you have header libs installed and in the path for freerdp 1.1.x specifically?

[vivshankar]

I did install freerdp-devel, which carries the headers. Could be because it's the wrong version. Will check and get back to you. Thanks.
