I was able to override with yay -S --editmenu remmina-plugin-rdesktop and adding the -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to the cmake command. This allowed the package to build and install. This should probably be fixed or at least have the arg added to the PKGBUILD cmake command.

==> Starting build()...
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:37 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

Freerdp is the standard remmina rdp protocol while this plugin uses rdesktop as an alternative.

It does not require freerdp in any way.

Unfortunately remmina api has changed and the software will require some fixes but I'm too busy to work on it ATM.

Merge pulls are welcome

So you are probably using freerdp and not rdesktop.

I couldn't get rdp connections to work until I followed your suggestion of installing freerdp: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/remmina-plugin-rdesktop/?O=10&PP=10#comment-649449

@thibaultmol rdesktop is alternative to freerdp. Even rdesktop itself does not require freerdp. It should not need it. Why do you think otherwise?

Why isn't freerdp a dependancy of this package. There's no situation where this package works without having freerdp installed as well, right?

@ananyab , same issue here, I fixed it with : sudo pacman -S freerdp

Tried to use this with remmina 1.4.7, the moment I choose RDESKTOP in the dropdown, remmina segfaults:
