Binaries Built

• barrier the GUI front-end and "main" program
• barriers the CLI server component
• barrierc the CLI client component

note: these aren't the only things build at compile time, but merely what the end-user is expected to use.

Preparing your system

Ubuntu/Debian/Raspbian

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install git cmake make xorg-dev g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev \
                 libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libssl-dev libx11-dev \
                 libqt4-dev qtbase5-dev

Fedora

sudo dnf install git cmake make gcc-c++ xorg-x11-server-devel \

Building from source

git clone https://github.com/debauchee/barrier.git
# this builds from master,
# you can get release tarballs instead
# if you want to build from a specific tag/release
cd barrier
git submodule update --init --recursive
./clean_build.sh
cd build
sudo make install # install to /usr/local/
