Synergy Binaries

-

Synergy is a keyboard and mouse sharing tool for devices connected over a network. Up until version 1.8.8, binaries were freely available to download from the official project website. Since then, Synergy maintainers have decided to publish binaries behind a pay wall. However, Synergy is an open source project, and therefore anyone can build the application on their system.

-

This repository provides some convenience tools and documentation for building Synergy. Alternatively, one can also download the pre-compiled binaries.

-

Information presented here is based on the official wiki pages. Anyone attempting to build Synergy should consult the official wiki pages first.

-

Download Binaries

-

The following binaries available in the Releases section:

If you can’t locate a binary package for your particular distribution, try building the project yourself.

Before you begin building Synergy, you need to recursively clone this project and its submodules:

-
    -
  1. -

    Clone the repository:

    -
    git clone https://github.com/DEAKSoftware/Synergy-Binaries.git

Prerequisites

-

Install the following tools and dependencies:

-
sudo apt-get install \
-    cmake g++ libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev \
-    libcurl4-openssl-dev libegl1-mesa \
-    libgl1-mesa-glx libqt5svg5-dev libsodium-dev \

- - -

For building Debian packages:

-
sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts dh-make lintian
-
- - -

Alternatively, consult the official wiki for installing dependencies.

-

Building

-

Run the shell script buildLinux.sh --all to build all packages. For other options, run with the --help switch.

-

Alternatively, you can opt to build the binaries only, as detailed below. We’re assuming the current path is in the Synergy-Binaries project root.

-
    -
  1. -

    Create a build subdirectory in the Synergy-Core submodule:

    -
    cd Synergy-Core
-mkdir build
-cd build
-
    - - -
    2. -
  2. -

    Configure the project:

    -
    cmake .. -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MINSIZEREL -D SYNERGY_ENTERPRISE=ON
-
    - - -
    3. -
  3. -

    Build the project:

    -
    cmake --build . --parallel 8
-
    - - -
    4. -
  4. -

    Optional, install the application:

    -
    sudo cmake --install .
-
    - - -
    5. -

Launching Automatically

-

In Linux Mint we can launch synergy client automatically via System Settings → Startup Applications, then add an entry with the command:

-
/usr/bin/synergyc --name ClientName --daemon #.#.#.#
-
- - -

Substitute the ClientName with the local machine name, and the Synergy server IP #.#.#.# with whatever appropriate for your set-up.
