Gentoo Issues

[Shelnutt2]

I'm running gentoo, and I setup boinc via portage. I am trying to install the optimized client (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;sa=dlview;id=215 ). I have a conroe E6300. However I can't seem to find where to place the files. It says,

Copy all files in the "Files to install" directory to
   your "BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu" directory. There is a file
   called "app_info.xml" included that will make BOINC use this application
   automatically.

However I can't find that directory. Google says it should be in /opt/boinc but it's not there. I'm searched for app_info.xml but couldn't find where it was installed in the system.

Code: [Select]

gentoo-64 opt # updatedb
gentoo-64 opt # locate app_info.xml
/mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/shelnutt/Desktop/KWSN-2.4-Windows32-SSE3-C2/Files to install/app_info.xml
/mnt/windows/Program Files/BOINC/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/app_info.xml
/home/shelnutt/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/app_info.xml.desktop
/home/shelnutt/seti/ap506_linux_x64_sse3/Files_to_install/app_info.xml
gentoo-64 opt # ls /opt
netscape  skype  sun-jdk-1.5.0.18  sun-jdk-1.6.0.13  sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.13

(note: the /home/shelnutt/seti folder is what I created it just has the downloaded optimized client and the svn trunk I downloaded)

Also I tried to initially compile my own app from the svn, but I've run into some trouble.

I'm running gentoo, and I've got gcc 4.3.2-r2 installed. I installed boinc via portage. It works fine, and I setup SETI, it downloaded the standard client and worked fine. I'm just trying to build my own fully optimized client.

I got the svn source,

Code: [Select]

shelnutt@gentoo-64:~/seti/$ svn checkout https://setisvn.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/seti_boinc


Set it up

Code: [Select]

shelnutt@gentoo-64:~/seti/seti_boinc$ ./_autosetup

Configured it

Code: [Select]

shelnutt@gentoo-64:~/seti/seti_boinc$ BOINCDIR="/var/lib/boinc" ./configure --enable-sse3 --enable-fast-math  --enable-bitness=64 CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe"

And this is the output I got.

I know it's not finding the headers, but the headers are there. They are in the directories, but the ./configure didn't link the make files to them. I could manually go in and link each one of them, but if this is wrong, maybe I didn't configure it all right? Also I had to add the CFlags and CXX Flags to the ./configure because it ignored the preset environmental ones unless I gave it to it directly.

Running Gentoo I've compiled my fair share of programs, so this isn't new to me, but the configuration of this one seems sloppy. Thats why I opted to try the prebuilt optimized client, but soon ran into trouble too.

[pp]

The Gentoo ebuild puts the files in /var/lib/boinc by default, creates a user/group called boinc and changes the ownership of the files to it. The Portage version of Boinc is still 6.4.5 and unfortunately it doesn't work well (or not at all) if you want to run GPU and CPU simultaneously. The source code you downloaded for sah is the stock source code, not the optimized. I don't know where to get the optimized code but I run the precompiled optimized applications and a selfcompiled Boinc from trunk, it works extremely well. If you're interested in that solution I could always take some time to write down an instruction. It does involve a few steps... :-)

[sunu]

Shelnutt2, forget portage (for boinc) and download it from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php or http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ . You don't need to compile it from source unless you have problems that might have been fixed in trunk.

I think it's better to install boinc in your home directory, not system directories. When you're installing fresh, inside BOINC directory create a new directory named "projects" and inside that create another one named "setiathome.berkeley.edu". There you'll put the "Files to install" from the optimized package you've downloaded.
