# This script is just meant to show how to compile synergy-core manually, in the   #
# case someone doesn't want to pay for the license to download an installer.       #
#                                                                                  #
# Understand that even if you do compile it here you will need a license to access #
# many of the advanced features (however it will still let you use the software).  #
#                                                                                  #
# Note as well, this is the older version of the software (synergy 1). To get      #
# Synergy 3.x you will need to purchase the license to use it. Otherwise, I        #
# haven't been able to find that repo (unless I'm overlooking something)           #
#                                                                                  #
# If you find an error in this let me know via my contact info in the README of my #
# journal repo (https://git.arcanium.tech/tristan/journal). If I've overlooked a   #
# step I'll update this script.                                                    #
#                                                                                  #
# NOTE:                                                                            #
# This script will likely work on fedora 36 -> 39, as I don't believe dependencies #
# have changed from then.                                                          #
#                                                                                  #
