UnixBuildBoinc

Introduction

The following instructions are only necessary for building a release for malariacontrol.net. For development of OpenMalaria itself, boinc-integration can be disabled. For participating in the volunteer computing, go to malariacontrol.net or install boinc from your distribution's packages.

You may just be able to use the boinc-dev package. Otherwise, read on...

Details

Check out a copy of boinc. Normally you can use the latest stable version:

git clone https://github.com/BOINC/boinc
cd boinc

For older systems, this may not work. For ubuntu 6.06:

svn co http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/branches/boinc_core_release_5_10 boinc
cd boinc

Configure:

./_autosetup
# For compiling a release version, we only want static libraries: 
./configure --disable-client --disable-manager --disable-server --disable-shared -C
OR
./configure --disable-client --disable-server LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc

You only need the main lib and api; to save time just build and install these:

cd lib
make
sudo make install
cd ../api
make
sudo make install
