Now, here's the seti-specific stuff: cd /usr/bin mv make make.old cd /usr/local/bin mv gmake make (bogosity due to seti developers thinking all unix=linux) cd ~ rehash cd boinc_public cd lib make mkdir /lib (yes we create this icky, barfy thing in the root due to bogosity of the seti boinc client) cp libboinc.a /lib cd ~ fetch http://boinc.berkeley.edu/seti_source/nightly/seti_boinc-client-cvs-2004-09- 22.zip unzip seti_boinc-client-cvs-2004-09-22.zip cd seti_boinc cp ../boinc_public/api/*.h . cp ../boinc_public/lib/*.h . (yes we just dump the headers into the seti boinc client root due to more seti client bogosity) ./configure make all cd ~ run the command boinc_client Enter the URL of the project: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu when initial testing is done and client is querying, CNTL-C This sets up the empty seti directory. Now, cd ~ cd projects cd setiathome.berkeley.edu follow instructions on http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php for creating app_info.xml substitute setiathome_4.3_i386-unknown-freebsd4.10 for setiathome_2.18_windows_intelx86.exe here's an example: cat app_info.xml <app_info> <app> <name>setiathome</name> </app> <file_info> <name>setiathome_4.3_i386-unknown-freebsd4.10</name> </file_info> <app_version> <app_name>setiathome</app_name> <version_num>403</version_num> <file_ref> <file_name>setiathome_4.3_i386-unknown-freebsd4.10</file_name> <main_program/> </file_ref> </app_version> </app_info> cp ../../seti_boinc/client/setiathome_4.3_i386-unknown-freebsd4.10 . cp ../../seti_boinc/client/setiathome_test . cd /usr/bin mv make.old make cd /usr/local/bin mv make gmake (reverse the hack for seti client bogosity) rm -r /lib (reverse other seti client bogosity) cd ~ boinc_client Ted > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Ted > Mittelstaedt > Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:53 PM > To: gerard-seibert@rcn.com; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: RE: setiathome > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Gerard Seibert > > Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 3:18 PM > > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > Subject: Re: setiathome > > > ********** Reply Separator ********** > > Tuesday, September 21, 2004 6:11:39 PM > > > > Have you actually tried to compile and run the latest version - 4.09 on > > a FreeBSD machine?
