Like many of the others here I'm trying to compile seti client, however upon 'make' i was have errors .. 'make -k' wasnt help me ... (sorry for my bad english), log:

nirvek:/usr/src/seti_boinc# make -k
(cd client; make all)

Any sugestions?

What you need to do is compile the libraries in the boinc client. To do this cd into your boinc sources and type:

export MYSQL_CONFIG=true
cd lib
make

If you have mySQL install exclude the first line. If you don't have mySQL you must use the 'export MYSQL_CONFIG=true' trick and NOT use the '--disable-server flag'. If you then cd into lib you should see 'boinc_api.o' that tells you all is good. You can now cd into your seti source and compile the seti client. You'll still need to use 'make -k' since you may get errors regardin GLUT which is for the xsetiathome client which you proberbly don't want anyway. The normal CLI client will build fine.

I have this problem still ....

i was export MYSQL_CONFIG=true , in ../boinc_public : ./configure , make -k , i was see boinc_api.o in /lib , in ../seti_boinc : /configure (lots of warnings) , make ... then i need copy some *.h from boinc directory to seti_boinc/dp and /lib and make again .... an i have this error -lboinc still ... what i need copy and from and where ? any ideas?

Ah, I think I know what you mean by the ./configure errors. Do you mean you get alot of messages like this?:


configure: WARNING: cstring: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: cstring: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: cstring: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##


If you are getting errors like this what you need to do is change the name of the "boinc_public" folder to "boinc". Alternatively you can create symlink "boinc_public" to "boinc" like I have done here:


lrwxrwxrwx 1 meow wheel 12 Sep 30 22:08 boinc -> boinc_public
drwxr-xr-x 22 meow wheel 56 Sep 21 14:03 boinc_public
drwxr-xr-x 15 meow wheel 25 Sep 30 22:05 seti_boinc
$


When compiling the seti client it looks for the boinc files inside the directory called "boinc" and not "boinc_public", this is the reason for the errors when you type ./configure and the -lboinc error.

Hi Nirvek!

>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboinc
>collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>make[1]: *** [setiathome_4.3_i686-pc-linux-gnu] Error 1

I guess the "seti_boinc" dir should be located under "boinc_public"

If you cd to the "lib" subdirectory of "boinc_public" and run
"make" there, the error should go away.

I was create symlink and all works fine :) THX

Hi,

I too was recently struggling to work out how to get the boinc to compile. I have written a guide that is now available at the following link:

Please feel free to drop by and I hope you find the information useful.

- and thanks again to Hans for assisting me in another thread when I was trying to work this out :)

Hope you find this helpful,

Hi Ned!

Nice work with your summary.
I just came across an issue I forgot to mention:
I had to create an empty "std_fixes.h" under /root/lib to get the
compile going.
