For those who don't read the S@H message boards... I got the new GUI to compile under Linux. It's looking *sweet*... it isn't difficult to crash it, was a total pain in the ass to compile it... but I love it. :-)

It's almost fully functional. The API is in a state of flux at the moment (which is what caused the crashes), so not everything is working, but it's a HUGE leap forward.

At long last, we have a GUI!

Check out my screenshots here:

Thanks for the pics. :)

There's a typo in the disks pic though. ;) Might want to tell dev how to spell available.

Good work getting it to run.

Where could I find the source please ?

The source can be found at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/source/nightly/.

Boinc is the source for boinc 4.5 the new split gui and cli compoent and boinc_public is the source for the current boinc 4.11.

I use the following to retreive and complile on linux the development verion.

cd /usr/src
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout boinc
cd boinc
./_autosetup
./configure --disable-server --prefix=/usr
make clean
make
make install
service boinc stop
cp /usr/src/boinc/client/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu /home/boinc
chown boinc /home/boinc/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu
chgrp boinc /home/boinc/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu
service boinc start
tail /home/boinc/boinc.log -f

To build the public release

cd /usr/src
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout boinc_public
cd boinc_public
./_autosetup
./configure --disable-server --prefix=/usr
make clean
make
make install
service boinc stop
cp /usr/src/boinc_public/client/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu /home/boinc
chown boinc /home/boinc/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu
chgrp boinc /home/boinc/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu
service boinc start
tail /home/log/boinc/boinc.log -f

FWIW, the make clean isn't necessary; the code is already clean, as you just downloaded it.

If you're working from an already-existing code repository you keep in /usr/src, you might think about doing a 'make distclean' and a 'cvs update' instead of re-downloading the whole thing.

> make
> make install
> service boinc stop
> cp /usr/src/boinc/client/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu /home/boinc
> chown boinc /home/boinc/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu
> chgrp boinc /home/boinc/boinc_4.*_i686-pc-linux-gnu
> service boinc start
> tail /home/boinc/boinc.log -f

To get the GUI, you've got to hack things up a bit... it's not compiling under linux at the moment. Its code is in the clientgui subdirectory.

> At long last, we have a GUI!

Hm... GUI is for Graphic User Interface.
I found only icons on these screenshots. Ok, it's graphic, but not interface :)

Thanks for those images, Rob. :)

Any ETA of when this BOINC version is to be released?
