That's another dialog which could use an 'apply' button.

No, I don't think you should do anything with 7.4.xx, except trash it. I couldn't stand running that version more than half a day. What I was suggesting was to keep 7.2.42 as recommended and change the Development version to your 7.6.33 or something else. Even the version I just built is better than 7.4.22. I downloaded the zip version from GitHub about five hours after this commit, https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/618d1d2a4d089d09ea880148407ae4a79b795f89 in the About Tab it says 7.7.0(x64) wxWidgets 3.0.2.

I have deleted the Project Column from the Tasks tab. The problem with the Scroll bar is when the scheduler updates and reports the completed tasks the Scroll bar will jump to the bottom of the page ever so often. This was also present in 7.4.xx. Nothing is required to reproduce it manually, it happens when Tasks are sorted by Progress and the tasks are automatically reported. It appears the view is being changed to display the new tasks being downloaded. If you change the sorting to have the in progress tasks at the bottom, the next jump will move up to show the downloading tasks. The other problem is at random times the AM EDT tags on the times will disappear and reappear in the Event Log, I can't remember if this was present in 7.4.xx.

It appears the problem with the Mac version 7.6.34 is with Sierra. I reinstalled 7.6.34 in El Capitan and the problem doesn't exist there. I haven't tried it in Sierra lately, maybe tonight I'll try it.

Debian ships version 7.6.33 without any problems and I would happily make this the recommended version, yet the instructions are not detailed enough to build a release version. I tried to inquire more information to fix the release build but so far I had no luck.


If you mean building static version I think the official versions have been built for Ubuntu with dependencies to repository packages for quite some time. The last boinc_compat package in the download directory is 6.12.22 which isn't even the last of 6.12 series. 7.4 had a few versions with statically linked wxWidgets because at that time the repository version lacked wxWebView.

The only setting I've found that keeps the Active tasks in view in the Tasks tab is to sort by Elapsed Time with the active tasks at the bottom of the page. Any other setting results in the active tasks being hidden from view sooner or later. Otherwise, All the active tasks have Active progress bars and times unlike 7.4.22. Hey, at least you get a good view of what tasks are being downloaded as they appear just above the active tasks. It's a little different...but works.

I also have a Mac, and noticed an annoying problem with the last release 7.6.34. After switching from 7.6.33 the new version is plagued with the waiting notice constantly while the notice almost never appeared with version 7.6.33. So, I'm inclined to think there is some problem somewhere and this looks like a likely location. If not, it's a good start anyway.
Any suggestions on curing the errors and moving on?
According to Charlie, the change between .33 and .34 was minimal, only to accommodate the missing Notices when seen under OS X 10.12.4 and above. He asks that you return to 7.6.33 if that's possible and see if the problem continues. Another option is to download 7.6.34 again and reinstall it, just in the minute possibility you got a corrupt download.
I'm back running Sierra with 7.6.34 and this time it seems to work normally. I still get the Connecting to Client message sometimes on BOINC startup, but I can now open the Computing preferences without getting the message. I did make a change before going back to 10.12.4, somehow the SIP had been turned back on previously. I disabled it again before using it this time. That's about the only difference, besides installing it with a new BOINC download. I dunno, it seems to be working normally now.

I'm going to try the wxWidgets version from the borg on the Linux machine and see if that works any better. I'm still having the active tasks end up being out of view every once and a while. It seems the Manager is intent on keeping the Downloads area in view for some reason when using the wxWidgets from the repository.

This one is a bit odd too:
checking for OpenGL library... -L/usr/local/lib -lGL
checking for OpenGL Utility library... -L/usr/local/lib -lGLU

checking for GLUT library... -L/usr/local/lib -lglut
Why do you have OpenGL files in /usr/local ? Repository packages shouldn't go there.
Same thing happens with a brand New install of 14.04.5. So, you tell me why the compiler is looking for OpenGL files in /usr/local/lib. Short version is there isn't any OpenGL files there, never was any, why it insists on looking there is a mystery. The files are in usr/include/GL, but, it refuses to look there even when repeatedly prompted. I gave up and just changed the makefile to -L/usr/include/gl -lglut, etc. I have No idea if it worked but got tired of fooling with it....it's only a screensaver!

Since the wxWidget files from The Borg apparently only show up in 14.04, I built another set of files in 14.04.5 using a new boinc-master download from a few hours ago. This time the Active Tasks, sorted by Progress, are staying at the Top of the Page. The AM/PM EDT tags are still disappearing and reappearing, but, it's not going to bother me at this point. Right now I'm just marveling over having BOINC 7.7 working in My Home folder, and working fairly nicely at that. I stuck with the 14.04.1 image for the install just in case I need to run my ATI cards in this system. The ATI cards hate anything over kernel 3.13xxx

Coprocessors - [2] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (1999MB) driver: 381.22 OpenCL: 1.2
Operating System - Linux Ubuntu
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS [3.13.0-123-generic]
BOINC version - 7.7.0

I wonder what version of BOINC it really is, I don't think the zip files have the correct version number included.

You are running a development version of BOINC. By downloading a snapshot of the master branch from github you get what is current at the time of download. That does not have a version number. It is merely a collection of code that eventually gets a version number later.

I'm currently migrating the continuous build image from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 on github so let's see what problem I run into. Although this build uses a self compiled wxWidgets version from source.

By the way I could kind of reproduce the scrolling problem with the 7.6.33 version from Debian. I'll try to compile a version (when I find some time) with a newer wxWidgets to see if the problem goes away.

Looks as though I spoke too soon. Last night it ran for over an hour without the view jumping to the bottom of the page. This morning it was at the bottom, and has jumped back to the bottom a couple of times already. So, this build has the same two problems as the last one built in 16.04.2.

Well, that's not good. Seems the boincmgr built in 14.04.5 using The Borg's wxWidgets doesn't work in Ubuntu 16.04.2,
~/BOINC$ ./boincmgr

Back to the files compiled in 16.04.2...

Here's the last build using the New install of 16.04.2. You'll notice some of the same files that weren't found in the other 2 systems also can't be found in this system. Three different systems, same problems. I looked at the OpenGL libraries again, they are located, along with many other libraries, in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Why does configure keep insisting they are in usr/local/lib? If you look in configure you won't find a single mention of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, where there are 75 to 155 mentions of usr/local/lib and usr/lib. Maybe someone can arrange to have the correct library location listed? On this last build I edited the Makefiles to list the correct location before hitting make.

Message 79621 - Posted: 16 Jul 2017, 3:40:26 UTC - in response to Message 79611.  

By the way I could kind of reproduce the scrolling problem with the 7.6.33 version from Debian. I'll try to compile a version (when I find some time) with a newer wxWidgets to see if the problem goes away.
Since I wasn't able to build a copy of 7.7 that didn't keep jumping to the bottom of the page I decided to give 7.6.33 a try. I immediately noticed the same files were missing after running configure and it also insisted the OpenGL libs were in usr/local/lib. I went ahead and tried it and it dove to the bottom within 15 minutes. The time tags in the Event Log also still play hide and seek. I decided to try what I did with the first system and make a few links to the missing files. That did end up with a few being found but didn't make that much of a difference. This build took about 30 minutes to make it's first dive to the bottom of the page. The next dive took about 2 hours, and the time tags still go missing on occasion. So, I've had about enough for today. Out of about a dozen different builds on two different systems they all had the same two problems.

I was able to convince Configure that the OpenGL libs were in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. I also added --with-ssl="/usr/local/ssl" to the config line. By making a link to usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk you can change config.h to declare you have gtk.h and the compiler doesn't complain, and it doesn't complain about declaring you have notify.h either. So, that just about takes care of all the Red in the Configure output and...it doesn't change a thing for better or worse. Still get the jumping scroll bar and elusive time tags. If you want to see Configure print the correct library locations, run _autosetup and then search Configure for prefix. It's right there, ac_default_prefix=/usr/local. Just change that to ...prefix=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, then search for the three GL libs -lGL, -lGLU, and -lglut. In each location you need to remove the /lib from the end of the line LIBS=' -L${prefix}/lib. That will do it, and it doesn't appear to change anything else...in a bad way. I've been running the results for hours. It still jumps to the bottom of the page...

Seems trying to have these programs see the OpenGL library is even worse in Ubuntu 14.04. What worked in 16.04 doesn't work in 14.04, in fact, nothing I tried resulted in wxWidgets 3.03 or the current boinc-master to see the library. I gave up and compiled it anyway, I did add the correct locations to the makefiles before making but I doubt that had any effect. The last line, of Many, I tried in wxWidgets 3.03 was;
./configure --with-gtk=2 --with-opengl --disable-shared --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" GL_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" GLU_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" GLUT_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

I suppose you can remove the last half as apparently that doesn't work either. I ended up with a number of libs in /home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib;
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_baseu-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_baseu_net-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_aui-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gl-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_html-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_media-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_propgrid-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_qa-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_ribbon-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_richtext-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwxregexu-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwxscintilla-3.0.a
/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/lib/libwxtiff-3.0.a

I then used the following line in today's boinc-master;
./configure --disable-server --enable-static --enable-bitness=64 --enable-dependency-tracking --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --with-ssl="/usr/local/ssl" --with-wxdir="/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3" --with-wx-config="/home/tbar/wxWidgets-3.0.3/wx-config" CPPFLAGS=" -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/libnotify -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/GL -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

The bonicmgr compiled at 50.0 MBs, seems to work in 14.04.5, and doesn't show any libwx in the dependencies;

I haven't tried it in 16.04. So far, it hasn't jumped to the bottom of the page, it's early though.
It would be nice if you could get the compilers to see the OpenGL library.

Oh, in the Boinc Manager the About says wxWidgets Version: 3.0.3

Not much later...
I guess that's not it either. It's jumped to the bottom of the page twice now.
If I didn't know better I'd say it has something to do with this abortion in Linux called OpenGL.

I may have something here. I finally reinstalled the System folder on the 12.04.5 partition. After all the Updates and dev files wxWidget 3.03 didn't have any trouble finding OpenGL, or compiling the same Static libs it did in 14.04. I downloaded a new copy of boinc-master and it too didn't have any trouble finding OpenGL or compiling the Apps from the Static Libraries. No libwx in the dependencies. Installing a driver for the 1050 is a pain in 12.04, so, I just turned off Ubuntu networking and tested boincmgr in an empty folder...it worked fine. Back in 16.04.2 everything worked fine too. No libwx in the dependencies and No problem with mismatched shared libraries. The About says wxWidgets Version: 3.0.3. It seems to be working OK so far. The Time tags in the Log are still going and coming though, and it still jumps to the bottom of the Tasks page, However, as far as I know Every version since 7.2.42 has the problem with the Jumping Tasks page. That's one of the reasons my other machines are still running 7.2.33 in Ubuntu, 7.2.33 works.
We'll see how it looks in the morning.

This looks interesting. Following my logic, if the only reason 7.2.42 doesn't work in 16.04 is the wxWidget shared libraries, then perhaps if I compiled it with my Static wxWidget libraries it might work. You can find the BOINC 7.2.47 source at the same place as the current code. After solving the taskbar Timeout verses UserTimeout it stopped here,
  CXX    boincmgr-AsyncRPC.o

Coincidentally, that's precisely when the Task page in BOINC>7.2.42 jumps to the bottom of the page...during some RPC event. So, next in line was BOINC 7.4.53. That one compiled in 12.04.5 without any trouble, and is currently running on my test machine with 16.04.2. It's the same as the others, it doesn't have any libwx dependencies. So far it's working OK, but RPC Events aren't happening right now. I'm considering a 7.2.47 build using Static wxWidgets 2.8.12 libraries if this doesn't work.

The 7.2.47 build seems to work without the jumping Tasks page, or the disappearing Time tags.
I'm still battling program versions that refuse to see the OpenGL library on this machine. Some versions of the program see it, other versions of the same program don't...weird.
Now to build a version that doesn't have a tiff4 dependency so it will work in 16.04, apparently 16.04 doesn't do tiff4.

I'm not able to follow what you are doing. But I recently migrated the BOINC continuous integration service from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 with no changes.

The build image we use has already all build essentials installed and I only need to install the following extra packages:
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libfcgi-dev libxss-dev libnotify-dev libxcb-util0-dev libsqlite3-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwebkitgtk-dev

The client and manager are then built using this sequence of commands:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/BOINC/boinc.git
cd boinc
./3rdParty/buildLinuxDependencies.sh
./configure --disable-server --with-wx-prefix=/tmp/boinc/3rdParty/buildCache/linux
make

The 7.2.47 build appears to be a success. After a day on my three machines it's working without any trouble. The wxWidgets compile used the following line;
./configure --with-gtk=2 --enable-webview --disable-shared --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

Message 79712 - Posted: 21 Jul 2017, 7:54:19 UTC - in response to Message 79594.  

Debian ships version 7.6.33 without any problems and I would happily make this the recommended version, yet the instructions are not detailed enough to build a release version. I tried to inquire more information to fix the release build but so far I had no luck.


If you mean building static version I think the official versions have been built for Ubuntu with dependencies to repository packages for quite some time. The last boinc_compat package in the download directory is 6.12.22 which isn't even the last of 6.12 series. 7.4 had a few versions with statically linked wxWidgets because at that time the repository version lacked wxWebView.

Yes. I noticed that too. The problem I see with this is that not every distribution provides the required libraries by default. wxWebView support was specifically provided for BOINC in Debian. No other Debian package uses wxWebView and now they discuss about removing it.

The target audience for the release version in Linux should be users whose distributions have old packages or don't have BOINC at all. If there are libraries required to run BOINC the user must know of this beforehand and the install script needs to check that they are installed or inform the user what is missing. In my opinion building a Linux release that is target on Ubuntu and derivatives and relies on shared libraries provided by Ubuntu is superfluous because we want the user to install the Ubuntu package where we know that there is an active maintainer who keeps the package up to date.

Since there seems to be no need for a static version (at least I'm not aware of public requests) maybe an alternative is to create a source release for Linux to tell package maintainers that they should use this updated version as was requested not long ago.
