1) Message boards : Number crunching : Linux GUI making progress! (Message 4867) Posted 1 Oct 2004 by old_user206 Post: For those who don\'t read the S@H message boards... I got the new GUI to compile under Linux. It\'s looking sweet... it isn\'t difficult to crash it, was a total pain in the ass to compile it... but I love it. :-) It\'s almost fully functional. The API is in a state of flux at the moment (which is what caused the crashes), so not everything is working, but it\'s a HUGE leap forward. At long last, we have a GUI!

2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : shared library problem (Message 1020) Posted 16 Aug 2004 by old_user206 Post: > yeah, I've actually statically linked everything I could think of in the CPDN > binaries (the monitor program, climate model program, and smallexecs > processing program), but I didn't do that for the BOINC client! I suppose > some enterprising person could figure out how to statically link everything > but the kitchen sink into BOINC! :-) Hey Carl- Glad y'all finally hit 4.x. :-) The problem with linking everything but the kitchen sink into boinc is glibc... specifically, gethostbyname(). I've tried pushing Dr. Anderson towards some other DNS resolving libraries to get around the gethostbyname() issue, but haven't had much luck. It was on the tasklist for M2 (and I think once 4.x hits S@H, it'll be M2)... but I don't think it'll happen now. :-( Right now I have one box running 4.x and the other running 3.x. The 4.x box (running CPDN Beta [hopefully] and Boinc Alpha right now) is also an old pre-GCC 3.2 box.. so I'm running into the same issue. Check out the 'collect2' script (it might be named differently, I forget) in the boinc/client directory for what Berkeley uses to link boinc so it works for the most folks. It does rely on their oddball box, though. It's somewhat of a Frankenstien box as far as I can tell. Maybe Rom could get something compiled for you if they haven't already released 4.02 somewhere?
