I have a functioning Boinc client and manager, but when I try to attach to SETI it gives me the following: 28-Jan-2016 08:07:39 [SETI@home] This project doesn't support computers of type x86_64-pc-freebsd Any ideas to make this work, or just wait for v8? OS: FreeBSD 10.2-Stable Boinc Manager Version 7.2.33 (x64) wxWidgets Version 2.8.12 BOINC client version 7.2.33 for x86_64-pc-freebsd |

Looking at the BOINC projects list it looks like only a few have native support for FreeBSD. I don't know how large the bsd user base for SETI@home is, but there might be someone that complies the apps for that platform. If not could can compile the apps for your system.

Since quite a while back, Lunatics sources are hosted at Berkeley too: https://setisvn.ssl.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/branches/sah_v7_opt or do an SVN checkout as described on the porting page.

I didn't see anything for v8. That's why it looked out of date to me. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Well apparentely neither Jason nor Raistmer felt it necessary to start a whole new branch for v8, but one of them put v7 into the initial commit... Trust me all the optimisations are going into that sah_v7_opt branch (cuda is under XBranch in there) and Eric is committing in seti_boinc/client (so that's the branch you want to build for stock).

I had a FreeBSD system running Seti until recently that I got going using these instructions: http://people.freebsd.org/~pav/boinc.html. I don't know if the ports have been updated to include the new V8 client yet. You could also try running the linux version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD#OS_compatibility_layers http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_FreeBSD |

The current port works for Boinc, but is broken for Seti. I did get Seti to work under wine. It seems to be running slower than it should. I tried to compile from the source, but will need to edit the makefile to get the compiler to finish. This is not my strong suit. The linux version is a good idea and I will try it to see how fast it operates. Thanks everyone for all the input. |

BOINC is not the same as SETI - BOINC is the environment in which SETI (and a whole load of other projects' applications run. Thus it is perfectly possible for the environment to be running but a particular application not to run. In this case it is probably because nobody has successfully ported and complied a FreeBSD version of the v8 application.
