[boinc_dev] Building procinfo_mac.cpp

2015-01-11 Thread Nicolás Alvarez
Hello boincers, I'm writing a CMake build system for BOINC (currently only lib and api) and I'm having troubles on Mac. Once I added the Mac-specific source files, I get this: lib/procinfo_mac.cpp:48:15: error: use of undeclared identifier 'getpid' At first I thought I was missing HAVE_UNISTD_H

[boinc_dev] boinc_init on multithreaded apps

2015-01-06 Thread Nicolás Alvarez

They can't make an exception for us. If the user has configured the system for "App Store only", and the BOINC client downloads project binaries, I'm pretty sure the *kernel* will refuse to run them due to lack of correct digital signatures. The only way to get BOINC in the store is with
