the configure-script delivered with the seti@home-sourbecode fails (see below) on my Alpha EV67 running Debian/testing @Kernel 2.6.7.

Compiling the BOINC core-client works fine after adding the alpha ev67 to the configure system.

This is a post of the betatest forum postet by Thomas Horsten
with some modifications from me

To compile seti_boinc do the following:

1. Download the latest source for boinc client and seti_boinc.

2. Unpack the sources in the same top level directory (boinc_src for this example).

3. In boinc_src/boinc, do "./configure && make" and then copy the resulting client (will be in client directory) to whereever you run boinc from.

4. Do the configure in seti_boinc: ./configure

5. Now build the client: make

6. Run the client
You can now either copy the client to wherever boinc is installed (you have to create the app_info.xml in the projects directory as directed on this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php). Or you can just run it from the client dir in standalone mode: copy test_workunits/reference_work_unit.sah to work_unit.sah in client, and run "./setiathome-2.xx.i686-pc-linux-gnu -standalone"

If you get the following error:
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/local/src/seti_boinc/client'
make: *** [all] Error 2

you must edit the following in line 91 in boinc/lib/diagnostics.h

#ifndef BOINCASSERT
#define BOINCASSERT assert
#endif

to:

#ifndef BOINCASSERT
#define BOINCASSERT(expr) ((void)0)
#endif
