Are you using the correct versions of gcc and gmake?

Read this page and the Software Prerequisites link.

I also notice something new (I think) about not needing to have mysql installed. You can fake out the configure script to avoid needing it.

I have had good luck adding the line:

#define __OPENBSD__

to config.h in the root of the BOINC source tree. This solved my "tolower" problem on FreeBSD-4.5-RELEASE system.

#define __OPENBSD__ didn't work..

And I have all the required software installed.

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD]
GNU Make version 3.79.1, Built for i386--freebsd4.5
Your MySQL connection id is 22857 to server version: 3.23.47

Great, so I have 10 DUAL P4's sitting idle with nothing todo. Guess they can run Classic a while..

Why I should have to install and compile a complete server and client just to get a client is really crazy in my view. I guess I could install WIN2KPro .. HELL NO..


Dave

Sorry. My bad. The correct line should read (caps error):

#define __OpenBSD__

I just added mine to the end of config.h. Worked like a charm, and both BOINC and SETI compiled. I haven't been able to get any work to fully test them, but they run and seem to operate normally.

Also, if necessary, I can provide binaries for FreeBSD-4.x/x86 (of both BOINC & seti-client) to anyone interested. I am trying to compile BOINC for other platforms, including NetBSD/sparc(64), without much luck.

If you have the bibary for FreeBSD that's all I need :)
Dave

SUCCESS !

Adding the correct " #define __OpenBSD__ " created the bibary I need and it seems to work. Waiting to see if it get s WU and runs ok.. WIll update when that happens.

Thanks !

Dave

ok now Im getting this message on the FreeBSD box..

What does " 'i386-unknown-freebsd4.5' not found " detail ??????
Does this mean I'm not getting WU because it doen't know the FreeBSD I compiled for ??? Do I have to tell it something else to get WUs then ?


Dave

You need to create an app_info.xml file and put i386-unknown-freebsd4.5 in it.
Directions here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php

I have the file, but it didn't say to change the name in the file.. I've done so and we'll see how it works now. I have a 55 minute wait now. Thanks
Dave

own client??? mmh oops or what ;-)

The instructions for setting up an anonymous platform are less than ideal.

You need to create a app_info.xml file in the *PROJECT'S* project folder. So, projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/app_info.xml.

If you have done this successfully, you client should say this when starting up:

THANKS LUKE !! I just had the file in the wrong directory.. I move it and it seems to be ok, Now to see if I get WUs on the *nix box like I did the WINBLOZE box..

Next Question...

1. Anyone have an idea whay BOINC uses 20-30% of the processor even when it's just waiting for the timer to run down and try to ask for another WU ?

2. Why it's beating the hell out of the drive at the same time ? I'd think it would be idle now. But for some reason it really giveing the drives a workout also.


Dave

Arrgghhh!

Has anyone sucessfully got it working under FreeBSD? I can get the Boinc part compiled and made but the client side failes on the ./configure and make????

Any ideas?

In my configure I get these errors:

ure: WARNING: list: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##

Then in the make I get this error:

make
"Makefile", line 132: Could not find dependencies
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

I gave up after 2 weeks of failures.. Curent CVS does this
