I increased the delay to 3 days instead of 2.

Hi BOINC volunteers,

We are a fairly new project that has been running for about 3 years or so now. We are an academic group located in Université de Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada) and NRG stands for Najmanovich Research Group. Our project is already listed on BOINCstats: http://boincstats.com/en/stats/126/user/list/.

As some of you may already know, we are mostly interested into drug design. We have been developing FlexAID, a method that allows to predict if a molecule may act/bind on a particular target. More info on our method can be found here: http://bcb.med.usherbrooke.ca/boinc.php.

We are currently investigating if our method can distinguish between true binders and non-binders. We are doing so for a lot of targets mentioned below [*]. We have nearly a million of tasks to execute and NRG needs your help!

We have had a few issues with FlexAID regarding Computation Errors in the past. However, those were all resolved through the many years of development.

Our method will soon be published in a scientific journal, and we wouldn't be here today if you, BOINC users, have not been there. We are very grateful and thanks a lot for your support.

6) Message boards : API : Cannot compile a simple work_generator (Message 34393)
Posted 27 Aug 2010 by Francis Gaudreault

I've been struggling while trying to compile a simple application that uses the libraries of BOINC.

The application can be found on the following website:
http://blog.os-tools.net/en/how-to-create-your-own-work-generator-script-part-1/

My Makefile looks like the following:

INCLUDES= -I. -I$(BOINC_BUILD) \
-I$(BOINC_BUILD)/api \
-I$(BOINC_BUILD)/lib \
-I$(BOINC_BUILD)/db \
-I$(BOINC_BUILD)/sched \
-I$(BOINC_BUILD)/tools \
-I$(BOINC_BUILD)/include/boinc \
-I/usr/include/mysql

##- Libraries:
LIBDIRS= -L. -L$(BOINC_BUILD)/lib \
-L$(BOINC_BUILD)/api \
-L$(BOINC_BUILD)/sched \
-L/usr/lib

LIBS= -lm $(LIBDIRS) -lsched -lmysqlclient -lboinc_api -lboinc -lz

-----------------------------------------------

The error message I am getting is the following:

/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a(mf_pack.o): In function `unpack_dirname':
(.text+0xac9): warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

/home/francis/boinc/sched/libsched.a(libsched_la-process_result_template.o): In function `add_signatures(char*, R_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY&)':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [workgen] Error 1

--------------------------------------------

When I'm compiling not using -static, I only get the libsched.a error. (saying the function generate_signatures is undefined)
But when I execute the following command:
nm -s libsched.a

I can clearly see that this function (defined in crypt) is 'U'ndefined in that library...
====Library libsched.a====
libsched_la-process_result_template.o:
00000000 D BOINC_RCSID_e5e1e879f3
00000000 T _Z14add_signaturesPcR17R_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY
U _Z18generate_signaturePcS_R17R_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY

Although when crypt is compiled into a library, the symbol is present
====Library libboinc_crypt.a====
000017e0 T _Z18generate_signaturePcS_R17R_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY

-----------------------------------------

I tried under different platforms (Kubuntu-32bit/64bit)

The version of BOINC is 6.11.1
The version of MySQL is mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.41, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 6.1

------------------------------------------

I have put some C++ source code at the following address for extra information: http://ec.codepad.org/qCMZMmz5#output

Thank you.

Francis
