Synergy 2 on Raspberry Pi 2 or 3

[mlumb]

Has anyone had any luck installing Synergy 2 Beta on a Raspberry Pi?  I am running Raspian Stretch. I primarily use Synergy between my Windows/Mac/Pi.  The non-beta I can just apt-get but it doesn't seem to like the architecture of either the .deb or .rpm installer. Tried converting with no luck.  Thanks in advance for the help.

mlumb,

I know nothing about using a Pi. I'm going to hide and watch to see if you get other users to reply. I'll be interested to learn.

I just tried compiling from the synergy-core in git on my pi 3 with ubuntu mate; which does not appear to work. 

We will need the source archive for 2.0.5 to compile (like for 1.x), or for the synergy-core to be updated to a compatible version, i think

sorry, i'm new and i just read that the synergy2 is closed source so no source archive will be available i guess, and synergy-core may then not be compatible with synergy 2. 

can we request a .deb package compiled for the armhf architecture so it can be used with the raspberry pi? 

The primary use of synergy for me is to interact with a couple of raspberry pi's and the amd64 architecture is the only one available for ubuntu or debian.

I will return to 1.8 i guess and help with beta testing when my use case is supported

Sorry guys, no Raspberry Pi support yet.

ok, thanks sir, back to 1.8.8 - i will wait and see if you release a package or code we can compile for the pi sometime soon

We do plan to support it, but maybe not until 2.2.
