I´m wondering if there are some alpha machines out there with a successful build of boinc and seti_boinc client running linux ???




[url=http://www.setigermany.de/cgi-bin/gstatsearch.pl?usr=Clawhammer64.de]

I'm trying to compile, i got boinc to compile ok, but the seti_boinc client compile seems to hang my machine.

It's on a dpw600a, with 128MB ram, redhat linux 7.1 kernel 2.4.3-12

Have you had any luck?

Not yet. building boinc works fine but the set_boinc client stops at xml_util.h.
I´ve fixed it but now there are new errors while compiling.

Man this sucks.

I'm trying on OpenVMS - trouble is the un*x support is missing some bits - got maketmp, hostinfo compiled today - now need automake and autoconf to compile - but they need each other - talk about incestuous code!!!

Berkeley should produce a FULL list of the un*x tools required to build this code - then work on reducing it.

Using a dual processor DS20 with 1.5GB of RAM at present - but if I can get it to work, I then have a quad processor ES47 (with the EV7/1150MHz processors) for it - as well as an Itanium RX2600 with the 1.3GHz/6MB processors in it - along with several DS15's and DS10's.

Let us know how you go with the OpenVMS port. I have a few DS10 boxes running OpenVMS that i could install it onto :)

Is there anyone in progess of porting the boinc client and seti app to OpenVMS on Alpha and/or IA64 ?

I have collected some links about the porting to OpenVMS :

I have the impression, that there a lot of OpenVMS users are waiting for some binaries.
And I think it is worth to try to port it to VMS.
