Synergy-core: Build instructions for macOS and Linux need updating

[faultylee]

Hi, I found that compiling v1.8.2 on my Arch (server) shows some unusual error at the end of conf and build and gui wasn't built. Might be missing some files

When I run bin/synergys, synergy seems to connect and work, thought I've no GUI to manage it.

Error snippet from QT_SELECT=4 ./hm.sh conf -g1

Going back to: /mnt/data/build/synergy-v1.8.2-stable-36cd521-Source
Error: Could not get revision, git error: 128

Error snippet from ./hm.sh build

Make GUI command: make -w
Entering dir: src/gui
make: Entering directory '/mnt/data/build/synergy-v1.8.2-stable-36cd521-Source/src/gui'

[faultylee]

Sorry, just realized this from aur/synergy-git PKGBUILD

I'm missing this

  cd src/gui
  qmake
  make

Not sure if this applies to non Arch users, if it does, maybe the compiling documentation should be updated

[silvester747]

I noticed this happens if I download the source package. It seems to expect being in a git repo. If I clone the git repo, it works fine. So seems the source package is broken.

The build method in the -git PKGBUILD isn't really the way we recommend building synergy (with the hm.py script).

I currently use Arch here at the Symless office so at some point I will probably request ownership of the packages and fix this. At the moment most of our Linux users are using deb and rpm distros though, so its not a priority. Proper repos for deb and rpm distributions are also on my personal todo list.

Closing for now.

I understand about priority, though I feel that at least the documentation should be updated to reflect the actual steps needed to compile from source, it can be highlighted that it's not the recommended steps.

Also on the guide referred to from the download page (http://symless.com/download/ button 'Guide' gets you to https://github.com/symless/synergy/wiki and then the link compiling gives you https://github.com/symless/synergy/wiki/Compiling#Unix_Linux_Mac_OS_X), hm.sh is mentioned as the official way to build. So I would advice not closing this issue until the documentation is fixed.

Same issue here; building from a repository clone worked fine (using the wiki instructions), building from a source package failed to configure the gui subdirectory.

Having the same issue when trying to compile on OSX from github source zip.

Wiki is updated to instruct users to download our source code from GitHub repo.

So the account page with the download link still give you the source tarball if you browse from Linux.

There's nothing there to lead the person to the github README, thus leading everyone to go through failure before finding this bug

I'm a Synergy Pro paid user. I previously was happy with Synergy on Ubuntu 14.04. On Ubuntu 16.04, the download for Synergy (v1.8.8-stable-c30301e) is a tarball of the source, not a deb package that I can hand over to my system's package installer. The INSTALL file, README and wiki compile instructions are out of sync with each other, outdated, or else do not give concrete steps for installing Synergy.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do to install Synergy.

I try to use the hm.sh script, but I get errors like

Error: Could not get revision, git error: 128
Error: make -w failed with error: 512

./bin/usynergy
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

What's more, when researching these errors, you find "bugs" like 5792 which suggest starting off with a git clone; using forks; or changing to v2; or trying a bunch of different things to get configuration and compilation to work right.

I'm not trying to build the software as a developer, I have work to do and just want to use the software as a user between my Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 8 machine. Sadly, I can't do that.

I even registered on the Zendesk site where there is a thread about "Getting Started", updated just days ago by @nbolton Nick Bolton. But when I tried to submit a comment, it gives a 403 access denied!

Here's how I got Synergy installed and working on Ubuntu 16.04 (I already have the software prerequisites)

git clone https://github.com/symless/synergy.git
cd synergy
QT_SELECT=4 ./hm.sh conf -g1

It will spit out a qmake command that would be used to make the GUI. I'm not sure if you need to execute this command, but I assume so.

cd src/gui/
qmake gui.pro -r QMAKE_VERSION_STAGE=stable QMAKE_VERSION_REVISION=ec56ac4

Launch the software

./bin/synergy

Make a valid configuration file by hand because the wizard doesn't detect the client that I want to connect to.
For example

cat ~/.synergy.conf
section: screens
  workstation:
  greg-laptop:
end
section: links
  workstation:
    left = greg-laptop
  greg-laptop:
    right = workstation
end

Now tell Synergy to use that config in the GUI; and start Synergy on the client, pointing to the IP address of the server.

I updated the Compiling page on the wiki

I was running into the same issue when trying to build the downloadable tar.gz source from the main website. Rather than grab from git, I opted for this workaround:

1. I edited the "ext/toolchain/commands1.py" file
2. Inside the getGitRevision(self) method here, I simply returned a string mentioning the version-details of what I downloaded
3. Since I also wanted to build a package, I had to remedy the getGitBranchName(self) method in a similar fashion

E.g.:

def getGitRevision(self):
    return "v1.8.8-stable-c30301e-Source"

def getGitBranchName(self):
    return "unknown"

After doing so, I managed to do the following steps fine:

• QT_SELECT=4 ./hm.sh conf -g1
• ./hm.sh build
• ./hm.sh package rpm

This generates an rpm with a rather unwieldy name of "bin/synergy-unknown-stable-v1.8.8-stable-c30301e-Source-Linux-i686.rpm"

But despite it, it installed fine with "sudo rpm -i synergy-unknown-stable-v1.8.8-stable-c30301e-Source-Linux-i686.rpm"
