Building and Installing Synergy

To build synergy from the sources you'll need the following:

This step is not necessary when using VC++ or XCode.

To configure the build for your platform use the configure script:

  ./configure

For a list of options to configure use:

  ./configure --help

On Solaris you may need to use:

  ./configure --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib

so synergy can find the X11 includes and libraries.

Windows
Start VC++ and open synergy.dsw. Set the active configuration (Build > Set Active Configuration) to All - Debug or All - Release then build. Binaries are built into ./debug or ./build.
Unix or Mac OS X without XCode
Simply enter:
```
  make
  
```
This will build the client and server and leave them in their respective source directories.
Mac OS X with XCode
Start XCode and open the synery.xcode project. Build the all project using the Deployment flavor.

Windows
You'll need NSIS, the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System. Build All - Release then build Installer - Release. This creates SynergyInstaller.exe in the top level directory. Run this to install synergy.

Alternatively, you can simply copy the following files from the debug or build directory to a directory you choose (perhaps under the Program Files directory):
- synergy.exe
- synergyc.exe
- synergys.exe
- synrgyhk.dll
Unix or Mac OS X without XCode
```
  make install
  
```
will install the client and server into /usr/local/bin unless you specified a different directory when you ran configure.
Mac OS X with XCode
Copy the following files from ./build to a convenient location:
- synergyc
- synergys
