RustDesk hide_cm revert for free (hide connection management, revert https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/pull/5544)

README.md

tfw maintainers want to squeeze money outta you so much they genuinely™ delete your instructions on how to revert their shitty client-side change to free open source code (AGPL-3.0 by the way) 🤡

here you go, a full guide on how to enable the "Hide connection management window" in FREE rustdesk version

1. Install Rust and Cargo, Flutter
2. Clone repository and check out to version 1.4.6: git checkout 1.4.6
3. if these mfs delete it or something I attached a copy of the rustdesk/rustdesk git repository as a zip to this gist
4. dart pub global activate fvm
5. fvm install 3.24.5 && fvm use 3.24.5 --force
6. make sure flutter --version says 3.24.5 it's very important, temporarily add fvm's flutter to your PATH if needed: export PATH="$HOME/fvm/versions/3.24.5/bin:$PATH"
7. install flutter dependencies: cd flutter && flutter pub get
8. install flutter_rust_bridge_codegen version 1.80.1 - the version is important: cargo install flutter_rust_bridge_codegen --version 1.80.1 --locked
9. generate lib: flutter_rust_bridge_codegen --rust-input ./src/flutter_ffi.rs --dart-output ./flutter/lib/generated_bridge.dart
10. if you get "Couldn't find lib/libclang.so in specified locations" error: install libclang-dev and clang, find libclang on your system: find /usr -name "libclang*.so*" 2>/dev/null and symlink it to where flutter usually loads clang from, for me it was /usr/lib/llvm-14/lib, so sudo ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-19/lib/libclang.so /usr/lib/llvm-14/lib/libclang.so
11. download rustdesk-revert-hide_cm-pr.patch from below and apply it in repository root using git apply rustdesk-revert-hide_cm-pr.patch
12. run python build: python3 build.py --flutter
13. install the resulting deb using sudo dpkg -i rustdesk-1.4.6.deb

if you get errors in rust/dart, you're probably running wrong version of flutter

if this guide is deleted, find it on https://git.hloth.dev

i'll also publish my deb file I got after 6 hours of attempts

good luck
