BOINC for TC
meo:
Hi Jason!
I just want to ask if there is a boinc extension coming for TC? Cern has come to mind since the 4:th of July. I think it would be a very good extension to have in the repository.
Have fun in all the work you are putting in for the TC community,

This was actually one of the first scms that I put together, but it installs into /opt and requires some linking to make it work in /apps, so I scrapped it. Now, all it's dependencies needed for a source build have build scripts, so it should not be too much to put a build together. I may aim for it in the coming days.

Hi Jason!
Sounds nice. Looking forward to try the extension. Thanks a lot for the swift and positive reply!
Have fun continuing with your good work for the TC community,

I'm running an older version of BOINC since with more recent ones I had a lot of problems with missing libraries -- I haven't tried the latest version though. A BOINC extension would be very helpful.
Depending on the project, the data files for BOINC can be huge compared to the app itself. Even if it's available as an extension I'd suggest having a separate backup for the data and other files that are updated during processing (my solution), or else using persistent home.

I tried downloading the latest version of BOINC for Linux. As before when I ran the run_manager I got an error message about a missing library.
Googling how Linux handles shared libraries it looks like I should download the missing library (and any others I may encounter) to usr/local/lib and run ipconfig against the directory. Presumably this will make the library(s) available to the BOINC run_manager. I guess after that I'd have to add usr/lib/local to the backup.
Does this approach seem right for TCL? Thanks.
