If you don't know Synergy, please go to http://synergy-foss.org to learn what is it.

Our projet is on sourceforge site:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergyandroid/

This is the introduction for the latest deveping version, you can get the source code by

    #svn co https://synergyandroid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synergyandroid/branches/pengliang synergyandroid

You can also get the trunk source tree

    #svn co https://synergyandroid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synergyandroid/trunk synergyandroid

But I suggest you checkout my branch, beause running the trunk tree is a little compicated,

and my branch will be merged into trunk soon.

ps: if you found a syntax/spelling error in this article, please let me know~

Introduction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SynergyAndroid is a port of the synergy client to the Android platform.

See http://synergy-foss.org for detail. Currently in the planning stage.

New developers are very welcome to join in.

Pre-requirements

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we don't depend on /de/uinput module, instead with /dev/input/event0,

but still need root permission to access /dev/input/event0.

So you just need changing the permission of /dev/input/event0.

  #adb shell chmod 666 /dev/input/event0

Attention: It was just tested in emulator, maybe not working on real device.

           If there is only event0 file in /dev/input/ folder on your device,

           and no other event* files exist, it should be work. So check it:

  #adb shell ls /dev/input/
 
 
Building the project

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SynergyAndroid use the jni to access the /dev/uinput module, so you must

compile the jni source by NDK firstly. And then you can directly build and debug the project in eclipse.
   
    #./build_jni.sh <NDK Base>

then just build the whole project in eclipse.

Running

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder: you should build the jni source first  and #adb shell chmod 666 /dev/input/event0

Then you can:

1. just run the project in eclipse or

2. install the PROJECT_PATH/bin/Synergy.apk to emulator/device.

      #adb install PROJECT_PATH/bin/Synergy.apk

Problems

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. can't see mouse cursor on the screen.
