I've successfully built and installed the BOINC client on my gentoo-linux Alpha system. But it appears that the alpha-linux is not going to be a supported platform?

You have to compile the seti client for boinc too and the create an file called app_info.xml wich should contain something like that: look here http://quit.homelinux.org/app_info.xml.txt I already did it on my Gentoo AlphaDS10 and it works |

I´ve forgotten to say that you have to "patch" a file called xml_util.h to compile the core client. You can get it from here ftp://quit.homelinux.org (Seti_Client_Patch) |

The FTP server previously referred to is no longer available. |

If you wan't, it is posible to add a link to your webpage with your compiled clients, to the third party site (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_other.php). Please contact me via email (seti-boinc@dotsch.de), that I can report the link to the boinc project team for adding. Lars |
