I don't think it is worth the effort to maintain the build environment for statically building the manager anymore.
We have been picked up in all the major distributions now. Building the latest builds on the Ubuntu VMs using dynamic linking appears to work for all the current distributions. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric J Korpela Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 9:59 PM To: Nicolás Alvarez Cc: BOINC Developers Mailing List Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] BOINC Manager build errors It appears that the existing configure isn't even looking for GTK include paths at all. I'm not sure how it ever worked. So it will only work on machines that have the gtk, wx and libnotify directories under a directory that is in the search path. I won't have time to fix this soon. Either somebody else will, or until then you can set your CFLAGS manually. The reason that we go to pkg-config (or gtk-config) in boinc_gtk.m4 rather than use gtk-2.0.m4 (which also calls pkg-config) is that, as far as I know, BOINC doesn't require GTK 2.0, but would compile for wx for GTK+ or wx for GTK 1.x. Or wx for plain X11. Every time we break compatibility, someone complains. Eric 2010/5/24 Nicolás Alvarez <[email protected]> > I just tried compiling BOINC Manager from SVN trunk, on Linux.
