Popular Post TrackPoint Forever Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 Any chance of a Synergy build for ARM devices running Windows 10? I was toying with buying a Surface Pro X, but I do pretty much live off of having my thinkpad as my primary input device for everything at my desk. I know, I'm a little fringe, but aren't all Synergy users? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeris Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 i've recently 'upgraded' to the surface pro x and am not able to use Synergy from it. It does install, and I can authenticate, but I'm not able to move the mouse on the other screen and the cursor gets trapped and I have to quit and restart. The Pro X is fun, I travel around to clients a lot so the LTE is a big help for me. Obviously some limitations due to the ARM chip. Chrome runs terribly for instance but using Microsoft's Edge Chromium beta as a replacement is going well given you can use all your Chrome plugins. Life on the fringe =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrackPoint Forever Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I'm considering life on the fringe for my personal / quick lookup machine myself. Thanks for the feedback. I'm hoping to get a response that "yeah, we're willing to compile binaries for ARM if we have volunteer testers." No clue what the realities of the codebase are, but with any luck it's a straightforward cross compile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios210 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @jeris - Firefox also has a version that runs natively on ARM, that's what I'm using to write this as I still can't bring myself to use Edge, plus all of the plugins are natively supported. @TrackPoint Forever - did you get a response to your request? I'm looking into compiling things myself but as the Pro X is such a new platform its difficult to find information on it. I have not compiled anything but the most basic software in the past and only on an x86 platform, not cross-compiling. I have been able to find various posts talking about compiling for ARM Linux on the Pi, but this will be substantially different I would expect so of limited help.

TrackPoint Forever Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Helios, Still no answer here. Self-compiling isn't really an option: Synergy isn't open-source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more software is available for Windows on ARM64. I hope synergy will catch up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
