Looking for latest Windows compiled build for Synergy over USB

[mkanet]

Im looking for a Windows compiled build for Synergy through USB. Could someone please be kind enough to point me to the latest compiled version?

Did you get an answer for this? I am trying to do the same. Also need it for ubuntu/linux....

[ohhmm]

Hello guys. Is it still actual for you? I could build.

[code-fodder]

Actually.. in the end I could build it. But I had to do the following:

1. For windows, I had to get a copy of libusbx-1.0.18-win and then add this into the PATH
2. In findlibusb-1.0.cmake I had to add set(LIBUSB_1_LIBRARY C:\local\libs\libusbx\libusb-1.0.dll) to point the cmake to my libusb.
3. Since I was using msvc 2008 I had to convert the c++11 code (mostly replacing 'auto' keywork with the actual type - load of STL types).
4. Finally, since there are no instructions it took a while to figure out that you have to unpack tools/cryptopp562.zip into a directory called tools/cryptopp562

So, now I have built it for windows (ran the unit test and got all passes). Now I have to build it on linux. But before I do that I might try to test it windows to windows.

The main problem I have left is that there is no documentation on how to use this thing! I guess we have to run uSynergy (usb-synergy)?? - but I have no idea what parameters to pass or how to use it :(

@iHateInventNames - Do you know how to use this tool?

I'll update how to build for linux (if I encounter any issues)
Thanks!

Glad to read! On configuring with cmake you probably want to specify
SYNERGY_BUILD_GUI=TRUE option.
Those issues have original roots.
Except the one about libusbx.

There is a GUI?...cool : )
Err..... I really am new to cmake.... how do I set this variable? / i.e. how do you configure cmake? I have only run cmake with "cmake ." command and no parameters, is it a parameter?

Thanks

[ohhmm]

probably you find useful cmake-gui (sudo apt-get install cmake-qt-gui)
cmake-gui /path/to/build

[ohhmm]

How its going? Need any help? Also you could add -DSYNERGY_BUILD_GUI=TRUE to command line
