1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Building Boinc on windows 7/64bits 'Software not detected: Build tools...' (Message 84622)
Posted 1 Feb 2018 by Kangning
Post:
Hi,

I'm trying to build the BOINC manager on Windows7, 64 bit. with Visual Studio 2013

I follow your 'Compiling BOINC client software' instructions on wiki.
However Now i meet some problems.

Under command line.
When i perform' buildenv type release platform x64', I got:

Initializing BOINC Build Environment for Windows
Software Platform Detected: Visual Studio 2013
Software not detected: Build tools.....



When I perform 'build all' under /src/boinc , I got 'build is not recognize as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'



Is there anyone who knows where is wrong?

My first thought is I didn't correct set the environment variable, but then I don't know what to do ....


Thanks for your help

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : wxWidget Icon (boinc_xpm was not declared in this scope) (Message 83797)

Post:
Hello,
Recently I am compiling the Boinc Client.
I want to replace the original BOINC ICON with my own ICON.
However, when i edit the source code, for example 'SkinManager.cpp', the wxWidget icon can not be changed when i just replace the xpm image in 'res folder'.

The error messages are:

SkinManager.cpp:648:59: error: ‘boinc_1_xpm’ was not declared in this scope
m_iconApplicationIcon.SetDefaults(wxT("application"), boinc_1_xpm, boinc32_1_xpm);
^
SkinManager.cpp:648:72: error: ‘boinc32_1_xpm’ was not declared in this scope
m_iconApplicationIcon.SetDefaults(wxT("application"), boinc_1_xpm, boinc32_1_xpm);
^
In file included from SkinManager.cpp:44:0:
res/boinc_1.xpm: At global scope:

static char *a68973a85c2d4d5efbd568b28836d576[] = {

This is the first time i use wxWIdget. My opinion is maybe i need to add resource file for that? But i really don't know what i should do.
Do you know that happened to the wxWidgets, what should I do to change the icon?

Really thanks for your help.

Are you sure you don't have WebView-less wxWidgets lurking somewhere?



can you give me some hint or tips about how i should link the WebView-less wxWidgets?

My process now is:

under /usr/local/lib I could find the libwx_gtk2_webview-3.1.a
but when I use wx-config --libs to typ all the wx libraries, there is no libwx_gtk2_webview-3.1.a.
with wx-config --libs web, the libwx_gtk2_webview-3.1.a is printed.

Hello guys,
I'm trying to compile the Boinc client, but when I 'make' the source code, The compiler always complains about this.
I'm sure i have '--enable-webview' and '-enable-webviewwebkit' when i install wxWidgets.
Is there anyone has an idea about this?

7) Message boards : API : BOINC Wrapper: Output file absent (Computation Error) (Message 82093)
Posted 19 Oct 2017 by Kangning
Post:
Hello guys,
I'm now running my boinc server and boinc client. I test wrapper with example application wrapper from official wiki.

however I got error message like 'Output file is absent' , and the task status in boinc-manager is computation error.
My stderr_txt is:

<message>process exited with code 195 (0xc3,-61)</message>
<stderr_txt>
11:17:40 (5231): wrapper (7.5.26014): starting
11:17:40 (5231): wrapper: running ../../projects/192.168.1.5_myproject/worker_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (40)
11:18:23 (5231): worker exited; CPU time 41.680000
11:18:23 (5231): app exit status: 0x8b
11:18:23 (5231): called boinc_finish(195)
</stderr_txt>

It seems that the application are not implemented.
(I have test worker.o without BOINC, it is executable.)
I have seen some other threads which have the same problem with me, but there is unfortunately no answer.

I have been stuck in this problem for weeks, Is there anyone who can help me?
Sincerely thanks for your help

Posted 10 Oct 2017 by Kangning
Post:
Hello,

I have a question.

When I create a work_unit, and run it in only one Client machine, how many tasks would be created?
One task runs exactly one slot directory.
So in other words, how many slots directory would be generated when i just create one work_unit and i have only one Boinc-client.

I would appreciate for your help.

Post:
Hello guys,

I'm running my own BOINC application, now I'm testing wrapper with 'worker' application.
Under my app directory in server side, I have put wrapper, executable files, job.xml and version.xml. howerver, when i create a work_unit and send it to client, from the Boinc manager Event log, the first three files and input have been successfully downloaded, but the last one, version.xml is not.

so the stderr_txt is can not read job.xml.

Is anyone knows what happened?
I would appreciate for your help

Posted 5 Oct 2017 by Kangning
Post:
First, forget about 'output files absent'. If the science application crashes, it produces no scientific output. That is inevitable, and not diagnostic.

Yes, stderr_txt is wiped from the client computer after the crash, but it can be found in two places:

a) Before the result is reported to the server, it can be found embedded in client_state.xml
b) After the result has been reported and acknowledged, it can be seen in the task record on the server


Thanks for your help, yes I have seen the stderr_text in the client_state.xml, the error message is'cannot acquire lockfile' , have any idea about that?

again,
thanks a lot for your help.

Hello guys,

I try to run my BOINC project and test it with example_app uppercase and wrapper, but the event log always gives me error messages like output file absent.

and also, i cannot find stderr files on host and client, on client side the stderr was removed after the task was finished, even though output files are absent.

and when i double click wrapper direct under boinc-client directory, there is error message like can not open job.xml , can not parse job.xml.

Is there anyone knows where is wrong?
I would appreciate for your help.

15) Message boards : Questions and problems : Cannot find slots directory under windows7 (Message 81794)
Posted 4 Oct 2017 by Kangning
Post:
You found the \slots\# in the path suffixes to the one printed in the event log, ergo could there be another place than the default location after i.e. a reinstall? For sure, each running, waiting task slot has multiple files, where slots from which just previously having finished are emptied and left until the next job needs a slot, or when the client does a cleanup of unused slots.


But the tasks are not finished, Event log gives me the messages 'Output files are absent'. seeing from the boinc-manage task page there are computation error. So i want to look into the stderr files to see what exactly the error. however the slot directories are empty.

Post:
After a task finishes BOINC cleans the slot directory. stderr is sent to your server along with the task report. You can find the stderr in host's task list and selecting a task. Or you can browse the tasks in the ops interface.

Thank you for your help, I have found the slots directories.
However all of these directories are empty.

Do you have any idea about that
Why the stderr files are not generated?

Hello Guys,
I try to run my own project and application. Now I have a question. My project is a interior project, I know the computers which will serve as boinc clients to attach to my project and server, and i also know everything about the application i need to run.

This means I could install the application in every client computer before launch the boinc project. I think the only thing that boinc-clients need to download is input files.

What should i set up my project application under this circumstance.
Is there anyone who can give me some advice?

I would appreciate for your help
