Not sure whether this is a bug report or the plugin is working as intended in
which case this is an enhancement request to support both Windows and UNIX
Synergy clients. But in a nutshell I am unable to find a way of configuring the
plugin to launch a Synergy client on UNIX when our Hudson master node is
Windows.

Our organisation is using Telelogic Synergy hosted on a Sun server with
both UNIX and Windows clients to manage a multi-platform product. Our
Hudson system is installed on a Windows server. We are currently using the
Synergy SCM plug-in to do continuous builds on Windows and this is working
extremely well. However, we also wish to run builds on an AIX machine because
the compiler on this machine flags errors that compilers on other servers
do not. However, I cannot get the plug-in to start Synergy on the UNIX
box.

If I just allow the name of the Synergy executable to default to 'ccm' on
the main Hudson configuration page then I get the error that the ccm
executable cannot be found on the path when I run a job that is configured
to invoke the Synergy plug-in on an AIX slave. I have configured the slave
node that this job runs on so that the Synergy bin directory is on the
path and if I run a test Hudson job on this slave that merely prints the
environment, the PATH is indeed set correctly. It is as though the plug-in
does not see this same environment when launching Synergy on the slave.

If I try to configure the full path to the ccm executable, then an error
message appears on the Hudson configuration page that complains that the
executable cannot be found. From the path that is displayed as part of
this error message, it is as though the plug-in is only allowing Windows
pathnames to be entered.
