# Synergy Binaries

## About

[Synergy](https://github.com/symless/synergy-core) 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, see below.

## Download

* [Synergy 1.12.0-rc1](https://github.com/DEAKSoftware/Synergy-Binaries/releases/tag/1.12.0) (macOS, Linux, Windows)

See [Releases](https://github.com/DEAKSoftware/Synergy-Binaries/releases) for additional versions. If you can't locate a binary package for your particular distribution, try building the project yourself.

## Building

The build system in this project where hacked together from information presented on the official Synergy Core [wiki pages](https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/wiki/), and from the Azure Pipeline [configuration files](https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/tree/master/CI/), found in the sources. Anyone attempting to build Synergy should consult the official wiki pages first, or use Azure Pipelines to generate all packages (if appropriate). Otherwise, you can try using the build scripts in this project.
