BOINC for TC
AmatCoder:
However manager does not work, isn't? boincmgr from "Berkeley installer" needs an standard wxgtk (with separate libraries) and TCL has a monolithic build...
I was able to build a new BOINC (7.0.28 version)... I can send you for testing and to send it to repository if it is working fine.
thane:
I'm not a 100% sure my BOINC setup is completely working. I downloaded the libraries TCL doesn't have (mostly wxwidget ones as you say) and stored them in a directory on USB. On boot I copy these into /usr/lib. It's a hack but it looks as though it lets BOINC run, and I don't think does any damage because they're libraries TCL doesn't use.
Compiling a BOINC extension is a much more elegant solution (and beyond my current skill). Not sure how you'd send it to me but I'm certainly willing to test it. BOINC would be a great addition to TCL.
edit: I should note that I'm running TCL in RAM and saving to a USB stick. I save BOINC on shutdown and copy it back to home/tc on boot separately from the regular TCL backup/restore. Probably a hard drive/persistent home setup would be better. I still want to try it though.

Well, I can upload to mediafire and I send a PM to you with the link...

I do not know how BOINC works, sorry...That's why I need someone to test it ;).

Sounds good.
"I do not know how BOINC works..."
At least in my current setup BOINC is installed in a directory under home/tc. All the data files it processes are stored there too. Depending on the projects it's running these files can be quite large. Also various file updates seem to be done fairly often. This leads me to think that persistent home on a hard drive is the best setup. My all RAM setup is less than ideal but it works well enough!
