Upgraded to Leopard

Yay! I've just managed to upgrade to Leopard (10.5)!

I went for the upgrade option and everything went well...

Boo! Synergy is now broken!

Fortunately I've found this webpage: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1848423&forum_id=199580 detailing how to setup Synergy for Leopard.

I removed by previous configuration and setup the following (for the Synergy server, the above link sets up the client). Created the ~/Library/LaunchAgent directory and created this synergys.plist file in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.synergys</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Users/username/bin/synergys</string>
<string>-f</string>
<string>--config</string>
<string>/Users/username/bin/synergy/synergy.conf</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Then issue the commands:
sudo /usr/bin/killall synergys
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/synergys.plist
launchctl start com.synergys
