I have successfully built boinc_client (easy - it just built) and a setiathome-4.7 version for freebsd-current (which shows as i386-unknown-freebsd6.0 now), and now I can't figure out where to install it to make boinc_client find it so as to not ask the server for a download. (NB - I had to edit a couple of makefiles after configure to get BOINCDIR defined or everything failed to link and a couple of things failed to compile). Also the first instance of the "computer" database entry won't delete (it's from the linux client and setiathome, runs slower than the native...) (I've had to wipe out the xml and subdirs from my running directory to get each new try independent and avoid the 1-day delay after the unsupported platform error - this (not surprisingly) adds a new computer entry each time, all
but the last of which I want to clean out.

Have a look over here:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php

Just create an app_info.xml in your setiathome project dir.
(Where you put your newly compiled client)
Supply the name of your binary instead of "setiathome_2.18_windows_intelx86.exe".

The boinc client detects your app_info.xml and requests work for the seti client listed in it.

Hi Hans,

has the boinc server to know about the seti client?
I compiled boinc/seti for Solaris 9 x86 and configured a proper (hopefully) app_info.xml. My boinc tells me that it could not find my seti client?

Any ideas?

Regards
Jochen

I'd have to look into your app_info.xml.
Just mail it to "hjdorn@freenet.de", since posting xml to the forum is a bit tedious.
