Use the installer at: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
We use MSys2, in particular MINGW64
Follow the instruction at https://www.msys2.org to install MSYS2 and GCC:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
pacman -Suy
pacman -Suy # you need indeed twice!
Install git and python packages:
pacman -S git
pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-python-numpy
pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-python-scipy
pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pandas
pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip
pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-python-wheel
pacman -Sy vim
pacman -S autotools

We still work in MSYS2 (MINGW64)
In order to have it working we needed to have the file structure in C:\PrgramData\Boinc
cd /c/ProgramData/BOINC # This in WINDOWS is hidden
cp ~/xsuite_packages/xboinc/examples/003_boinc/client_state_save.xml .
then
nano account_test.xml
write
<account>
<master_url>http://test.test</master_url>
<project_name>test_project</project_name>
</account>
then
nano cc_config.xml
write
<cc_config>
<options>
<skip_cpu_benchmarks/>
<unsigned_apps_ok/>
</options>
</cc_config>
Then make folder structure
mkdir projects/test.test
cp ~/xsuite_packages/xboinc/examples/002_lhc/xboinc_input.bin projects/test.test/input.bin
cp ~/xsuite_packages/xboinc/examples/003_boinc/xboinc_executable.exe projects/test.test/xboinc_executable
In one terminal:
cp client_state_save.xml client_state.xml; ./../../Program\ Files/BOINC/boinc.exe
In another:
/c/Program\ Files/BOINC/boincmgr.exe
In case of problems stop boing client in the status bar:
You can suspend using the activity menu:
You can see the checkpoints in:
You can restart from the same menu.
When the job is finished, the result are saved in "projects/test.test/output.bin"
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Ubuntu
Basically only:
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install boinc-client boinc-manager
On a fresh ubuntu installation I neede to:
sudo apt install make
sudo apt install m4
sudo apt install pkg-config
sudo apt install autoconf
sudo apt install libtool
sudo apt install g++
cd
git clone https://github.com/BOINC/boinc
cd boinc
export BOINC_DIR=$PWD
./_autosetup
From https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BuildSystem
"If you're developing or porting a BOINC application, you need only the API: "
./configure --disable-server --disable-client --disable-manager --disable-gui

!! Before running BOINC client or manager, kill the previous BOINC session
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
