I cannot compile guacamole-server-1.5.2 on a fresh Almalinux 9.2 with gcc 11.3.1:

CC       guacenc-png.o

  CC       guacenc-video.o

video.c: In function ‘guacenc_video_alloc’:

video.c:63:22: error: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]

   63 |     container_format = container_format_context->oformat;

      |                      ^

video.c:66:22: error: initialization discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]

   66 |     AVCodec* codec = avcodec_find_encoder_by_name(codec_name);

      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,

first set the environment CFLAGS in shell:  export CFLAGS="-Wno-error".  Then redo the configure with the systemd; make and make install.

I also have problems with the RDP.  You will need to change the daemon to root in the systemd file to get it working.

You can add the new paramater --disable-guacenc during the ./configure.
