Synergy User Manual and Tutorial
To compile, change to the synergy directory and type
% make
The current version has been tested on these platforms:
- SUN 3/4, SunOs
- IBM RS6000, AIX
- DEC Alpha, OSF/1
- DEC ULTRIX
- Silicon Graphics, SGI
- HP, HP-UX
- CDC cyber, EP/IX
The makefile will try to detect the operating system and build binaries, libraries and
sample applications. You may need to edit the makefile if your system requires special
flags, and/or if your include/library path is nonstandard. Check the makefile for detail.
Configuring the Synergy Environment
After the installation procedure is complete, some minor changes must be made to the
computers environment to access the Synergy system. When using a UNIX/Linux
system we enter commands in a command-line environment called a shell. This shell
must be configured to recognize the Synergy system. The two most used shells are C
Shell (csh) and Bourne Again Shell (bash). Examples of configuration or profile files
will be shown below for csh and bash. Because these files are hidden, you must type:
ls –a
and press the enter key at the terminal command prompt to view them.
To configure csh, you must edit the “.cshrc” file in your home directory by adding the
line:
setenv SNG_PATH synergy_directory
where synergy_directory is the directory containing all the binary files and the
Synergy object library. Next, add the Synergy binary directory to the path definition by
typing:
set path=($SNG_PATH/bin $path)
