Trying to compile latest svn version of Boinc on FreeBSD 7.2 AMD64. This computer acts as my router and has no X installed. I only need the core client so in an attempt to disable all X related stuff I run configure with the following options:

--disable-server --disable-manager --enable-client --without-x

Running make after that ends with the following error after a short while:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../api -I../db -I../client -I../tools -I../sched -I../lib/mac -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -DPIC -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread -O3 -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -ffast-math -MT libboinc_la-gui_rpc_client.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libboinc_la-gui_rpc_client.Tpo -c gui_rpc_client.cpp -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libboinc_la-gui_rpc_client.o
In file included from gui_rpc_client.cpp:50:
gui_rpc_client.h:735:21: error: xlocale.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Seems like some gui/X related things are still trying to build. What am I missing? Any hints are appreciated.

xlocale has nothing to do with GUIs; it's "extended locale support".

Thanks Nicolas. I was stuck in my narrow-minded thinking and of course you're correct. After some deeper digging, xlocale seems to be Linuxism and since I'm no programmer I don't really stand a chance porting this to FreeBSD. Version 6.4.5 (which is available for FreeBSD) doesn't seem to have this particular code segment in rpc_gui_client.h and simply removing it generates other errors so I'll stick to 6.4.5 until someone brighter than me figures out how to port this. :-)

Have a look at my homepage http://www.dotsch.de/boinc, there are binaries (6.2.18) for FreeBSD avaialble.
