How to make your own optimized Seti@Home client for Linux

Thanks for the hint Simon and Merry Christmas to you too!!!

Hello and Merry Christmas!
Did anyone sucessfully install the IPP libraries on Ubuntu 6.10?
I was able to install the ICC compiler (*) but the installation of the IPP libs fails. The workaround for the MKL libs, which is given in the Ubunto knowledgebase, seems not to work for the IPP libs. Anyone had sucess here?
Thanks for any help.
Best regards
Alex
(*) With a few changes to the install scripts: /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh and alien instead of rpm.

I've had those errors often as well. I usually "fixed" them, if nothing else helped, by editing the respective #ifdefs and #defines that redefine sincos and the other mathematical functions.

Thanks,
Finally the compilation has gone successfully ;D
I commented line 44-48 of client/sincos.h
and added "tools/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.ac
(otherwise tools/Makefile is not updated and compile fail).
However I doubt that I need fakedata...
My first binary (SSE3/P4 ICC 9.1.045 IPP beta 5.2.011) seem to crunch fine.
In my tests it's the quickest with the exception of Josefs-WU where KWSN SSE2 is better.
For curiosity I will try to compile a SSE2 client in order to see if the improvements depend on the new version of ICC/IPP or on SSE3.

Very good news,
you tell me if I can help even if my C is much rusting.
Goodbye and sorry for my bad English :-(
Simon:
Hi Gianluca,
tutto bene ;)
Happy you got it to compile, good work!
Regards,
Simon.

Emmh in testWU-1 is quicker KWSN, too.
I'm confused for the presence of elapsed time and not real time (as in bash builtin time)
