I am having trouble understanding how boincmgr gets built, and why it is built when using code from trunk, but not from a tag release version. Specifically:

Following directions at: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SourceCode

Compiled boinc from source, SVN trunk (Currently Version 6.13.12)

 svn co http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/boinc boinc-svn
 cd boinc-svn/
 ./_autosetup 
 ./configure --disable-server --enable-client CXXFLAGS="-O3 "
cd /package/generic/sea
make

Compiles fine, boinc and boinc manager run, but GPUGrid tasks never start displaying only "Ready to Start (scheduler wait)"

I believe this is due to changes in how the 6.13 branch scheduler works with some projects(?) - okay no problem, I figured I would just build the recommended version from SVN and it would work, since building the above was relatively painless, so onward . . .

Let's try building the 6_12_34 tag, the recommended version.

svn co http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/tags/boinc_core_release_6_12_34 BOINC-6_12_34
cd BOINC-6_12_34
./_autosetup
./configure --disable-server --enable-client CXXFLAGS="-O3 "
cd /package/generic/sea
make

cp ../../../stage//usr/local/bin/boincmgr BOINC/boincmgr
cp: cannot stat `../../../stage//usr/local/bin/boincmgr': No such file or directory
make: *** [BOINC/boincmgr] Error 1

Nope - this runs amok too. It does not build boincmgr - I tried make stage after make, but that does not build boincmgr either.

It is unclear how you are supposed to build boincmgr in a tag version, and there is no information why the build process for this is different than that for the latest svn version above, which does build boincmgr? What am I missing here?

Thanks for any suggestions, I appreciate it.

There was a bug in the build system that was fixed in trunk. to build the manager, just cd into the clientgui directory and run make from there.

Hi Rom,

Thanks for the hint - I swear I had tried that, apparently not.

Might you have a suggestion for resolving the build error I get when I try to run make in clientgui (6_13_12 tag)?

configure reported:

Is it that m4/gtk-2.0.m4 is not finding /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h or some such? Do I need to specify something with pkg-config for the GTK+-2 libs or some magic?

Any pointers on how I might get this to build are appreciated.

(Google shows this issue is not uncommon, but I've not been able to locate a fix, nor figure out what is off in the build environment to fix it.)

Cheers,

I'd say that looks like the build is looking for libnotify thats been compiled with gtk support, have a look at the libnotify packages available and see if there are any with gtk/gdk options. (not a programmer so happy to be corrected by Rom or anybody else)

Hey there,

The thing is though that it compiles fine with trunk, but not 6_12_34, which just seems a bit odd, and makes me think it is really more a question of an environmental or pkg-config deal.

I have OpenSUSE 12.2 and Boinc 7.0.28 for Linux x64.

I kept getting messages of missing wxWidgets (eg: libwx_* files). I used YAST to install all the wxWidgets that did not have the word "compatible" in the package name.

After that, I got this error message:

./boincmgr 
./boincmgr: relocation error: ./boincmgr: symbol _ZTV16wxWindowListNode, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 with link time reference

I used this command and it worked!!!

for file in /usr/lib64/wx-2.8-wxcontainer/*.so.0; do ln -s $file /usr/lib64; done;
