Releases

Binary releases for Windows and Linux are available on the releases tab.

OSX binaries are not provided here but can be built from source and are included in syncthing-mac.

Building

The following packages on Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 are needed: libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev. On other distributions other packages may be needed.

Version iformation is provided by adding -ldflags "-X main.VersionStr=$versionStr -X main.BuildUnixTime=$versionDate" when compiling. $versionStr is the version that should be printed, e.g. v0.7. $versionDate is a unix timestamp in seconds. Example:

go build -i -v -o ./linux64/syncthing-tray -ldflags "-X main.VersionStr=$versionStr -X main.BuildUnixTime=$versionDate" github.com/alex2108/syncthing-tray

Windows binaries can be cross compiled from Linux using mingw. Example:

CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -i -v -ldflags "-H=windowsgui -X main.VersionStr=$versionStr -X main.BuildUnixTime=$versionDate" -o ./windows32/syncthing-tray.exe github.com/alex2108/syncthing-tray

The option -H=windowsgui prevents a console window from being shown and can be removed to see the log for debugging.
