I have a new OS installed which is freebsd. Does anyone here successfully run the boinc? I use this command # pkg_add -r -v but I don't know where the tar.gz is for download.

See how https://people.freebsd.org/~pav/boinc.html and http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_FreeBSD work out for you.

Seti do not make task for FreeBSD platform...

Key word: " doesn't support computers of type i386-pc-freebsd"
But if init this on server, this work perfectly.

For example: I question same problem on lhc@home and hi added to sheduler platform i386-pc-freebsd

How to setup boinc client for work in console mode (CLI) on FreeBSD 10.3 if on a clear system?
For i386 (on amd64 not tested) I setup like this:
in CLI mode

locate boinc
/usr/ports/astro/boinc-astropulse
/usr/ports/astro/boinc-setiathome-v7
/usr/ports/net/boinc-client
/usr/ports/net/boinc_curses

Check linux.ko is loaded

kldstat

Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   13 0xc0400000 140bd98  kernel
 2    2 0xc535c000 12000    ipfw.ko
 3    1 0xc4f2c000 4000     ipfw_nat.ko
 4    1 0xc537f000 e000     libalias.ko
 5    1 0xc53d9000 45000    linux.ko

If persist?
Ok
Is No then:

kldload linux.ko

Edit rc.conf :

linux_enable="YES"
boinc_enable="YES"
boinc_client_enable="YES"

Next:

cd /usr/ports/net/boinc-client
make config

Set

1.    go to /usr/ports/net/boinc-client/, open the Makefile in a text editor
2.    change the CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-server as follows:
+        1. on 32 bit FreeBSD change it to
        CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-server --with-boinc-platform=i686-pc-freebsd --with-boinc-alt-platform=i686-pc-linux-gnu
        2. on 64 bit FreeBSD change it to
        CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-server --with-boinc-platform=x86_64-pc-freebsd --with-boinc-alt-platform=i686-pc-linux-gnu
3.    do make install clean
4.    if you receive an error like "ELF 0 ....", make sure you have installed
        1. /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4 or higher
+        2. sysctl kern.elf32.fallback_brand=3

WARNING! Make set witch plus "+"

So that you know, BSD is copyright UC Berkeley. FreeBSD (Open Source) is based on the original BSD source code.
Seti runs Fedora.

I write letter to developer (read address on site https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/).
He get time for answer.
After three week I get answer from developer "project modified and is ready to send shedules".
I recheck:

boinccmd --get_messages

And getted "This project doesn't support computers of type i386-pc-freebsd".
Why? Why? Why?
Reattach project:

boinccmd --project https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/ detach
boinccmd --project_attach https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/ c9b14123e347gbft123s7gg8w5f89s5s

No task ("This project doesn't support computers of type i386-pc-freebsd").
In next step I do it:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc-client stop
cd /usr/ports/net/boinc-client
make deinstall
make clean
mv /var/db/boinc /var/db/boinc-old
make DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes install

cd /var/db/boinc

Super!

In next how to see in console what calulating?
Variant 1

boinccmd --get_tasks

Variant 2

cd /usr/ports/net/boinc_curses
make install
cd /var/db/boinc
boinc_curses

But this program have bug (visible incorrect task longname).
How to correct this error?
Very simple.
After compilation edit one file:

cd /usr/ports/net/boinc_curses/work/boinc_curses-0.2.2
ee boinc_curses.c

Go to row 616 and see

sprintf(formatter, "%%.%zxs'", targetlen - 1);

edit to

sprintf(formatter, "%%.%zus'", targetlen - 1);

Simle xhange "x" for "u".
Save, exit.
Run in this (/usr/ports/net/boinc_curses/work/boinc_curses-0.2.2) directory:

make

ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  313963 Mar 17 17:10 boinc_curses*

Date and time is changes. It's good.

cp boinc_curses /usr/local/bin/
cd /var/db/boinc
boinc_curses

It's fine.
It all.

Nothing complicated.

Why seti@home not like FreeBSD I do not known...
Sorry.

Now I confirm SETI@home is working correct.
Get and calculate task on FreeBSD 10.3 i386 .
Just replace

https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/

to

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

on this instruction.
Thank you All!
