<title>Building and Installing Synergy</title>
</head>
<body class="main">
<p>
</p><h3>Prerequisites for building</h3><p>
</p><p>
To build synergy from the sources you'll need the following:
<ul>
<li>Windows
<ul>
<li>Microsoft Windows SDK for Vista; or
<li>VC++ 6.0 or up should work
</ul>
</p><p>
<li>Unix
<ul>
<li>gcc 2.95 or up
<li>X11R4 or up headers and libraries
</ul>
</p><p>
<li>Mac OS X
<ul>
<li>gcc 2.95 or up
<li>Carbon development headers and libraries
</ul>
</ul>
</p><p>
</p><h3>Configuring the build</h3><p>
</p><p>
This step is not necessary on Windows.
</p><p>
To configure the build for your platform use the configure script:
<pre>
./configure
</pre>
For a list of options to configure use:
<pre>
./configure --help
</pre>
On Solaris you may need to use:
<pre>
<nobr>./configure --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib</nobr>
</pre>
so synergy can find the X11 includes and libraries.
</p><p>
</p><h3>Building</h3><p>
<ul>
<li>Windows
<p>
Open a command prompt window (cmd.exe or command.exe). If necessary
run vcvars.bat, created when VC++ or Visual Studio was installed. (Use
search to find it.) It's necessary to run the file if you didn't have
the installer set up environment variables for you. Then enter:
<pre>
nmake /nologo /f Makefile.win
</pre>
This will build the programs into <span class="code">build\Release</span>.
</p>
<li>Unix or Mac OS X
</p><p>
Simply enter:
<pre>
make
</pre>
This will build the client and server and leave them in their
respective source directories.
</p>
</ul>
<p>
</p><h3>Installing</h3><p>
<ul>
<li>Windows
<p>
You'll need <a target="_top" href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net/">NSIS</a>,
the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System. As in the building on Windows
description above, enter:
<pre>
nmake /nologo /f Makefile.win installer
</pre>
to build <span class="code">build\Release\SynergyInstaller.exe</span>. Run
this to install synergy.
</p><p>
Alternatively, you can simply copy the following files from the
<span class="code">build\Release</span>
directory to a directory you choose (perhaps under the
<span class="code">Program Files</span> directory):
<ul class="code">
<li>synergy.exe
<li>synergyc.exe
<li>synergys.exe
<li>synrgyhk.dll
</ul>
</p>
<li>Unix or Mac OS X
<p>
<pre>
make install
</pre>
will install the client and server into
<span class="code">/usr/local/bin</span> unless you
specified a different directory when you ran configure.
