Once again I tried to compile a new version of BOINC.
This time v5.3.16
If I install the standard version it runs without errors but benchmarks are:

Benchmark results:
Number of CPUs: 2
455 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
813 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
Finished CPU benchmarks

These results are WAY too low for P3 processors @933MHz and if I run it I'll be requesting approximately 9 credits for a short runtime (current estimates are 3:18:22) einstein result. Boincmgr looks like something straight out of windows 3.1

So I drop in the boincmgr I compiled. It works fine and looks great. Then I drop in the optimized boinc app (after suspending and exiting boinc and the science apps). After starting boinc and switching back to "Run based on preferences" every item in the task tab errors out.

This has happened with EVERY version after v5.2.15 I've tried to compile. In addition it seems to ignore the "Network access disabled" setting and in the messages tab indicates it is attempting to get more work after the existing work has errored out.

I'm using Suse 10.0 and gcc 4.0.2
From the build process.

I'm doing everything the same as with v5.2.15

export CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -malign-double -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -ffast-math -ftracer"

export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS

./configure --disable-server

make clean

make

no errors during configure

during make

then mv -f ".deps/extract.Tpo" ".deps/extract.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/extract.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
./unzip/extract.c:221: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration

lse rm -f ".deps/boinc_gui-BOINCGUIApp.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
BOINCGUIApp.cpp:170:9: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive

Would someone please take a bit of time and help figure out what the problem is?

Thank you.

Looking back on it I should have added that the last BOINC dev cvs source I was able to compile and run was v5.3.3.

I have no idea about that compile errors

However, this ...

Benchmark results:
Number of CPUs: 2
455 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
813 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU
Finished CPU benchmarks

These results are WAY too low for P3 processors @933MHz

Yeah! Far low away from what "Sisoft Sandra" reports for a similar CPU -:(

May be this low benchmark is the cause of my last telephone bill of $259.93
Despite connected from midnight to 06:00 AM, everyday, (single pulse bill times)
*Nothing more to download ...
*at about 03:00 PM everyday, my CPU runs out-of-work and gets IDLE!
*Then I connect to Internet to get more work (on the billed by minute times)
*and the result I said above, --> BIG telephone bill!
ps: I have already set my prefererences to more than 1 day of work, to no avail.

*However since I started using crunch3r client, I have no more need to
connect to Internet during the billed by minute times to get new work ...
*The work that the client download during the single-pulse-bill-times period,
is enough to keep my cpu busy until next midnight -:) ->only using crunch3r<-

That's said, crunch3r client is a few points below Sandra too !

*Its a loss that their clients are all old, but at least
allow savings on telephone bill.
