Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/123

I checked the releases, installed it on my macOS and windows computer.
Setup server config for windows, and client side for macOS, but I'm a bit lost there's absolutely no documentation for troubleshooting common errors

I haven't had much free-time to right any end-user documentation, I'd imagine synergy might have some though. If you can actually give us the specific error(s) you're getting (like the issue template says you're supposed to), I'd be more inclined to help you.

I'm trying to build barrier on Mac getting Qt5 no config error:

-- Configuring file build_installer.sh
CMake Warning at src/gui/CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5" with any of
  the following names:

    Qt5Config.cmake
    qt5-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5_DIR"
  to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Qt5" provides a
  separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.


CMake Error at src/gui/CMakeLists.txt:25 (qt5_use_modules):
  Unknown CMake command "qt5_use_modules".

@marekkaczkowski try installing qt5 with Homebrew:
brew install qt5
if you don't have Homebrew installed, try this:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Sorry for the really slow response, but I decided not to use barrier over other alternatives / not needing a keyboard that works on multiple computers
