synergyc-lion-startup.README

NOTE: After trying several actual versions of Synergy 
including 1.4.5, 1.3.8. I found out that 1.3.1 (the version 
from mac ports) is working best on my Mac Lion.

1. Install mac ports!
   Easiest way is to download/install the latest dmg file from http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/

2. Install synergy from mac ports!
   sudo port install synergy

3. create a plist file named org.macports.synergy.plist similar to the below one
   (note that mac-air needs to be replaced by your hostname and 192.168.9.1 with 
   your synergy-servers ip adress)


4. load the .plist file with launchctl

   sudo launchctl load -w org.macports.synergy.plist

THATS IT! Your synergy client will start automatically
