Description
We have a working `nxplayer` ebuild in our tree, at an ancient version `5.1.24.1`. Upstream is at `9.3.x.y` now. I have a working autogen for the client that I wrote a while ago and need to clean up a bit; this Issue will track it.
The server was more complicated to get working, and I don't remember what the trouble was. In the end, it served its purpose.
Anyway, it would be nice to have these in our tree kept up-to-date.
We can get the binaries from here: https://download.nomachine.com/download/?id=1&platform=linux

Inspect the existing nxplayer ebuild and the working client autogen mentioned in the issue, then review the NoMachine download page for current Linux binaries. Investigate the earlier server autogen and its unresolved trouble; done means both net-misc/nxplayer and net-misc/nxserver are generated and kept up to date in the tree.
