Synergy is a program that lets you share your mouse between multiple computers. There is 1 server and however many clients, with only 1 mouse and keyboard. As nice as Synergy is, it does not have recent binaries for the Raspberry Pi. apt-get has version 1.3.8 for the Raspberry Pi's Raspbian. It is not compatible with the most recent version 1.4.16 so we will compile the most recent compatible version. | Synergy is a program that lets you share your mouse between multiple computers.

Synergy is a program that lets you share your mouse between multiple computers. There is 1 server and however many clients, with only 1 mouse and keyboard. As nice as Synergy is, it does not have recent binaries for the Raspberry Pi. apt-get has version 1.3.8 for the Raspberry Pi's Raspbian. It is not compatible with the most recent version 1.4.16 so we will compile the most recent compatible version.
Written: 3/8/2014 Raspbian Version: 1/7/2014 Synergy Client Version: 1.4.15 (this works with server 1.4.16)
About Compiling Synergy for Pi
I followed the directions on Adafruit which are actually pretty good at explaining how to compile Synergy for Raspberry Pi. Although 1.4.16 was out, it was not compatible with the Pi due to CURL issues. I compiled 1.4.15 client on the Pi and it works fine with my 1.4.16 server. It took about 2 hours to compile.
