Details

Description: Synergy 1.4.10 has a GUI it comes with, but this package isn't building it.


Additional info:
* package version(s): 1.4.10

Steps to reproduce:
Built package does not include /usr/bin/synergy, nor does the PKGBUILD define to build it either.

Steps to fix:
PKGBUILD needs the following changes:

makedepends=('libxt' 'cmake' 'qt')

build() needs a few lines added after the "cmake ...; make" commands:
cd src/gui
qmake
make

That builds the GUI portion itself, depending on Qt libraries.

package() needs the following addition for installing the GUI:
install -Dm744 synergy $pkgdir/usr/bin/

right underneath synergyc and synergys binaries, since the GUI step builds the final binary into the same directory.


The only portion I'm not familiar with that should also be added is:
Alerting the user during installation for GUI, they need to install Qt as an optional dependency. Also, a menu item file for it to show up properly in various Desktop Environments, to provide the executable, and icon, as appropriate.
This task depends upon

Added synergy.desktop

During the package(), add:
# install desktop entries in /usr/share/applications/
install -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications"
install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/synergy.desktop "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications"

Secondary, add:
optdepends=('qt: GUI support')

   synergy.desktop (0.2 KiB)

Forgot the icon file, in package() add:

# install icons in /usr/share/pixmaps/
install -d "${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps"
# originally from res/synergy.ico converted using Gwenview
install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/synergy.png "${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps"
   synergy.png (24.8 KiB)
