Hello,
I'm trying to get a BOINC environment spun up for my university. The documentation I've found so far on creating our own applications is basically 'look at the applications included with the server and just go from there.' I'm afraid I'm going to need a little more help than that. Does anyone know of a good document on building your own applications? While I've been in computers for a couple decades, linux is not my forte' unfortunately.
Thanks for any and all help!
Vincent

Hi,

there is a big section on ProjectMain on how to build your own application. The simplest instructions are:

• Add calls to BOINC initialization and finalization routines.
  
• Precede each fopen() call with a BOINC function that maps logical to physical names.
  
• Link it with the BOINC runtime library.
  

To see this in action its best to look at an example like uppercase which is a C++ application which can be compiled under Linux and Windows.

Thanks for the feedback, Christian. I'll look into those sources.
