I want to install Boinc.

Hi CentralWare

... @Richard Cranium: Instead of typing all of the content in the Juanito pasted above, just download the source script onto your test machine ...

It's not really a script. It's more a mix of commands and notes. I got the
impression the OP was not very experienced compiling from scratch.
So I posted the instructions with comments removed and the missing
tar command inserted. I figured the OP might not recognize where
the comments are.

... MY thought...  run a find:binary on all files in /tmp/tcloop and -exec ldd {} > logfile
If things work as expected, LDD will flag Invalid Instruction(s) when attempting to run a dependency scan. ...

I wasn't aware ldd could do that. But I guess whether ldd encounters an
illegal instruction depends on where in the binary being examined it's located.

LDD doesn't really "do that" - it's more like an unintended convenience.
This is somewhat of what I had in mind:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/init.d/tc-functions
tce-load -i file
clear

cd /tmp/tcloop
sudo grep -r -I -L . > /tmp/binaries.lst
sudo file -f /tmp/binaries.lst | grep ELF | awk -F: '{print $1}' > /tmp/binaries.elf

while read -r file
do
    res=$(sudo ldd "${file}" | grep -e "invalid " -e "error " -e "not found" )
    [ ! "${res}" == "" ] && echo -e "${YELLOW}${file}${NORMAL}\n${res}\n\n"
done < /tmp/binaries.elf

Assuming BOINC was fully installed, it would scan through all of the binaries of everything installed at that moment (hopefully catching the herring if he's out there)
Again --- "in theory!"

Hi Richard Cranium
Yes. This version is a bit more literal:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i compiletc automake intltool libtool-dev gettext-dev curl-dev Xorg-7.7-3d-dev freeglut-dev glu-dev wxwidgets31-dev

wget https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/archive/refs/tags/client_release/8.0/8.0.4.tar.gz

tar -xf 8.0.4.tar.gz

cd boinc-client_release-8.0-8.0.4

./_autosetup

CC="gcc -flto -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -flto -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --localstatedir=/var --disable-server

find . -name Makefile -type f -exec sed -i 's/-g -O2//g' {} \;

make
sudo make install

I think I'm going to put my little project on hold for a while , I've tried to compile and it just runs (compiles) so slow and then the system seemingly locks up , maybe a future version of TC will get the job done and the required packages will be fixed up...

But I DO VERY MUCH want to thank everyone here that offered help and advice . THANK YOU.... I'm starting another thread on a different subject tomorrow....
