I have a Debian pure 64 install on an AMD64 box...
Boinc compiles cleanly.
But this is the results when I try to run it...

Anyone got an idea on how to solve this?

Have you followed the instructions here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php

You have to create a app_info.xml file and put it in boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/ along with your client.
You have to build the setiathome client too, not just boinc

Hoppas det är till hjälp! :D

Has anyone had any success compiling the setiathome client on AMD64? If so I'd be interested in a patch.

I was able to successfully compile the BOINC client, but not the seti_boinc client. When I compile the BOINC client(CVS build 7-9-04) and run it with the appinfo.xml file I get the following output:

Then after a while I get the message that was listed in the first post for this thread. Hope this helps to solve whatever problem is going on with the amd64 arch.

The problem is that the setiathome client *won't* compile for 64bit Linux systems.

Certainly I cannot get it to compile under Mandrake 10_64 even tho' the configure script seems to complete as it should. :o(

Message 19417 - Posted: 29 Aug 2004, 21:25:01 UTC

It is possible to compile boinc and seti_boinc under x86_64. On my Suse-Linux it runs for over one month: see http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=20528

But compiling the client is not easy, some bugs were (are) in the seti_boinc code.

If you post your error_messages, maybe i can help you.

Ok, so I grabbed the following two source trees:
boinc_public-cvs-2004-08-28.tar.gz
seti_boinc-client-cvs-2004-08-29.tar.gz

moved boinc_public to boinc, it compiles beautifully after running autoconf

extract seti_boinc, do autoconf and configure which finishes neatly. So far every time I run make I get a different error message. First is this:

/usr/src/seti_boinc# make
(cd client; make all)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/seti_boinc/client'
g++ -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DTEXT_UI -DNDEBUG -DCLIENT -I.. -I../db -I/usr/src/boinc/api -I/usr/src/boinc/lib -I/usr/src/boinc/image_libs/ -M *.cpp > dependencies
sah_gfx_base.cpp:42:22: boinc_gl.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [dependencies] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/seti_boinc/client'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Next is this:

/usr/src/seti_boinc# make
(cd client; make all)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/seti_boinc/client'
g++ -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DTEXT_UI -DNDEBUG -DCLIENT -I/usr/src/boinc/api -I/usr/src/boinc/lib -I/usr/src/boinc/image_libs/ -I.. -I../db -c -o analyzeReport.o analyzeReport.cpp
analyzeReport.cpp: In function `int ReportPulseEvent(float, float, float, int,
int, float, float, float*, int)':
analyzeReport.cpp:337: error: `assert' undeclared (first use this function)
analyzeReport.cpp:337: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [analyzeReport.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/seti_boinc/client'
make: *** [all] Error 2


I could have sworn I was getting three different messages, but anyways, I even saw it hang before on this analyzeReport.cpp. The nearest thing I can figure is that the integers need to be converted into "long"s. Although I've only seen this a problem when they are declared as unsigned integers.

I hope you've got some answers for this, because I'm getting annoyed with putting forth effort towards boinc and not seeing results.

Error "sah_gfx_base.cpp:42:22: boinc_gl.h: No such file or directory": seti_boinc needs boinc-sourcefiles to compile. If your seti_boinc dir is /tmp/seti_boinc, your sourcefiles for boinc should by under /tmp/boinc_public/. Maybe you need a link from /tmp/boinc/ to /tmp/boinc_public/.

If there is no boinc_gl.h under boinc/api/, you need to download this file from cvs (see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/)
The file boinc_gl.h is here:

http://setiathome2.ssl.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/boinc/api/boinc_gl.h?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain


error: `assert' undeclared (first use this function) is simple - you have to include "assert.h" into analyzeReport.cpp:

add

#include <assert.h>

to this file. There are other includes at top of file.

Maybe you will get this error-message more than ones. Just add this line to all files where the error-mesage appears.


You have also to cast some integers from int to long, for example in file db/xml_util.h on line 384:

change

for (i=0;i<std::min(eol-p,5-npads);i++) {

to

for (i=0;i<std::min(eol-p,(long)5-npads);i++) {


I hope, this helps a little bit :-)

Awesome stuff Merlin! Wow, I got far with those changes. I had to add that include to one other file, but its skipping my mind which one it is right now.

Unfortunately I've hit a snag and nothing that I've changed seems to help the situation, I'm hoping you can further help me again, you've been invaluable:

I also linked boinc to boinc_public, I didn't test it without the link so I'm not certain if it was necessary. I can't believe how stupid it is that they would include boinc_gl.h in the development cvs repository, but not include it into the public cvs repository.

One thing I'd like to point out! I found it necessary to go into the library tree of the boinc client, ie: /usr/src/boinc/lib/ and run 'make' to build the libraries, as seti_boinc needs those in order to compile.

I never had these errormessages. Maybe it helps, if you try an other snapshot of seti_boinc.

Message 20129 - Posted: 31 Aug 2004, 1:38:13 UTC - in response to Message 19896.  

IT FINALLY COMPILED!!!!!!!!!

The last error message I got was due to it not liking the libraries that are used in the boinc_public directory(They havn't been changed in over 2 months).

I grabbed a CVS version of boinc, date 8-30-04, did the exact same things listed in the posts previous to this one and it compiled cleanly.

Also: link from boinc_public to boinc didn't matter.


Um....one problem.....when I execute the compiled file in /seti_boinc/client/ it does nothing. I can do ./setiathome* -version and it gives me information, but I can't really DO anything with the client.

Next I created the app_info file and added the setiathome version information, but I still got errors. I later learned that what you do is the following:

Copy the client out of /boinc/client/ to whatever location you're running boinc. Secondly add the setiathome client found in /seti_boinc/client/ to the same directory that you created the app_info.xml

my app_info.xml file looks as follows:



setiathome


setiathome-4.3.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu


setiathome
403

setiathome-4.3.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu






(version_num can be retrieved through doing "setiathome-4.3.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -version)
