Installing Synergy2 from Source on OpenSolaris 2009.06

At work, I can't live without Synergy, the program that allows you to share one keyboard and mouse with multiple systems across multiple systems. Here's a quick post on how to install it in OpenSolaris:

pfexec pkg install SUNWgcc SUNWxwinc
tar -xzvf synergy-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd synergy-1.3.1
./configure
make
pfexec make install
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
cat > ~/.config/autostart/synergys.desktop 

To enable startup at login, create the appropriate /etc/synergy.conf and navigate to System->Preferences->Sessions, and place a check next to "Synergy2 Server".

I am using sunray.. and try to configure but having lot of issue to configure it

where did you mentioned the screen/hostname
which one is right and left.

no proper info..

Sorry, the article wasn't about how to actually configure synergy2 - that was outside the scope of the article. You should consult the documentation for synergy. The file you want to be working with is /etc/synergy.conf.
