Hi,

I was looking for a binary for my Banana Pi. Don't found anything.
Anybody knows where I can get one?
The Banana Pi got a ARM Cortex-A7 CPU like the RPi 2.

I Also tried to compile it myself, but I got this error message:

configure: WARNING:  boinc not found.

Boinc is installed! It works fine with Einstein and Asteroids.

Btw: The Banana runs Bananian, it's Debian based.

If you're compiling, I believe you need the BOINC source available not just the BOINC binary installation.

Soli Deo Gloria

Thanks for your answer!
In the meantime I installed the most Boinc packages, include boinc-dev. I think this is what you mean. Nothing happend, still "boinc not found".

You need to tell the ./configure where your BOINC headers are located. E.g.

[tegra-ubuntu:seti_boinc] > head -50 config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by setiathome_v7 configure 7.28, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure BOINCDIR=../boinc --enable-fast-math --disable-graphics

The steps I've been using to build an Armv7 app are:

Get the prerequisites (there is a problem with using --disable-graphics when building the app from the current source, so you need the graphics app prerequisites too):

sudo apt-get install git make m4 libtool autoconf pkg-config automake g++ gcc subversion libfftw3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev gettext docbook2x docbook-xml libxml2-utils zlib1g-dev libsm-dev libice-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libx11-dev libnotify-dev freeglut3-dev libfcgi-dev libjpeg8-dev libxss-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-dpms0-dev libxext-dev

(I haven't included libwxgtk2.8-dev libsqlite3-dev libgtk2.0-dev they shouldn't be needed unless you want to build Boinc and Boinc Manager too)

Get the Boinc source code, then make the libs and api:

git clone git://boinc.berkeley.edu/boinc-v2.git boinc

cd boinc

./_autosetup

./configure --disable-server --disable-client --disable-manager LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc

make

Now get the Seti_boinc source, and build the app:

cd ~

svn checkout https://setisvn.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/seti_boinc seti_boinc

cd seti_boinc

./_autosetup

./configure CFLAGS="-O3" CXXFLAGS="-O3" BOINCDIR=${HOME}/boinc --enable-client --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-server --enable-dependency-tracking --with-gnu-ld --disable-altivec --enable-fast-math

make

One Note, If when compiling the app, If it fails with an error, check the client sub-directory anyway for the compiled app, there are two Bugs with compiling seti_boinc from head,

if you try and use --disable-graphics, it fails with the following (these examples are from x86_64 compilation attempts):

You're right, the executable was there. Running now, tho' BOINC doesn't seem to be reliably able to determine the number of CPU cores -- sometimes it thinks 1, sometimes 2, finally settled on 4. I've never worked out how to use the fifth core in Ubuntu, but since it's less powerful and the "real" CPUs look like they'll take about 100,000 seconds per WU I doubt that it would bring me much anyhow.

You have to be able to use <ncpus>N</ncpus> in cc_config.xml to force/tell BOINC you have N CPUs (cores)

Yeah, thanks, I guess that'll solve it!

Hi,

I tried it the way Claggy described.
Building of Boinc was fine.

Now, configure runs fine... more or less.
It ends up with

/bin/rm: cannot remove `libtoolT': No such file or directory

Is that ok? Probably not.

After that, make get 2 errors.

analyzeReport.cpp:(.text+0xee8): undefined reference to `boinc_temporary_exit(int, char const*, bool)'
seti_boinc-autocorr.o: In function `FindAutoCorrelation(float*, int, int, SETI_WU_INFO&)':

Yes, that's fine, just continue after that.

I had that too (when trying to do a Armv6 app), I fixed it by using the latest (2015-02-16) Raspbian Image on a different SDCard, then it worked, only difference, my error had it in five places:

Note: Beware, anyone trying to compile an Armv6 app on a Pi will probably find it compiles O.K, But won't run on a Pi for more than a minute or so, But will run on a Armv7 equipped Pi 2 without problem, you have been warned.
(That is still a work in progress)

My Jetson build seems to be running OK!
