Unfortunately I cannot test on PPC architecture (although I would like one to play with). Adding PPC team, can any of you confirm? This could be a regression in the new series where quite a few changes were made. I have tested on x86 and x86_64 without any issues.

I am still trying to track the issue, although none of you should have the server USE flag enabled unless you are actually trying to set up a boinc server to start your own boinc project. I have it building fine on both GCC 3.4 and GCC 4.0. I am going to test some more systems tomorrow and see if I can figure out what is causing the build failures. If anyone spots anything first please point it out.
I may remove the server use flag if this is causing so much confusion - needing that USE flag is very unlikely and it is very difficult to test properly anyway. Opinions on this welcomed.
(In reply to comment #9) At least for me the intention of the server USE flag was clear. And though I have no immediate plans to develop boinc apps, I wanted to have the possibility to experiment with this some day, so I activated the USE flag. Indeed, after deactivating server, emerging boinc succeeded for me. Alas, this seems not to be the solution for comment #5.
(In reply to comment #9) > I may remove the server use flag if this is causing so much confusion ... Just to make it crystal clear. I use -server -X and boinc-5.2.14 does NOT compile for me. The old boinc-4.7.2 version DOES compile for me with these same options. I haven't tried taking the time to figure out why it doesn't compile. I've compiled boinc-5.2.x on PPC with FC4, and with gentoo MIPS and x86. I never had much trouble doing that, so I was surprised it bombed here.
it WORKS. but only with USE="-X" (and -server by default). boinc_gui with those flags also works! which amazed me. so now i don't know why there is a "X" use flag as boinc_gui works with X flag disabled.

The initial bug (which hit me too) looks like a makefile dependency issue. It appears that various rules copy files into a generated directory, but do not depend on the rule that creates that directory. It can probably be worked around by disabling parallel builds. Or just retry, it built after a couple of attempts for me. It looks like adding the dependencies to the rules in sea/Makefile.am should be easy, but I couldn't reproduce it reliably enough to confirm that.
yes, the problem is not the job number but the linking error now.
no ideas/patches?
seems sched_util.o is missing in the linking! if i manually add it, linking works. should be easy to fix, with a patch in the Makefile.in
after that that's another error: r/lib/libgnutls.so /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so -lnsl /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so -lz -lpthread /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/libstdc++.so -lm -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.0/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -lgcc_s -lgcc_eh -lgcc -lc feeder.o: In function `feeder_loop()':feeder.C:(.text+0x135): undefined reference to `DB_WORK_ITEM::enumerate(int, char const*, char const*, bool)' :feeder.C:(.text+0x17c): undefined reference to `DB_WORK_ITEM::enumerate(int, char const*, char const*, bool)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [feeder] Error 1 i can't fix that.
I am unable to reproduce this bug here, and am off on holiday tomorrow for two weeks. So I am unlikely to get to it any time soon - patches would be welcome and other sci devs are welcome to apply them if they get the time. I have already applied all the Debian patches to boinc but it remains quite fragile - help would be appreciated.
o my god...i found the problem! the problem is in the linking priority. when it add -lboinc flag it reads the /usr/lib/libboinc.la lib, instead of the fresh build one. i noticed that, so i unmerged my old 4.7 version and rebuild from scratch. works. all linking errors gone, builds flawlessy. you could add a block on 4.7 version, so people must unmerge old before update. you can close this ihmo. tested with gcc 4.1.0
I'm getting this same error. First time I installed Boinc not a problem but it kept having connect issues. I punched a hole in my nat router firewall hoping that would fix it. Nope. I pinged the boinc project server I was trying to reach and ping'd it fine. So as a last resort uninstalled boinc. On reinstall I'm getting the same build error listing that png file. :P
it's MAKEOPTS problem, force to -j1 and it will work
Please try 5.5.6 - just added it today with a patch that should make it always link to the freshly built library. It is a little hackish but worked here. As always I love it when people give me patches to fix this stuff :)
(In reply to comment #23) This compiled without problem for me on a recently upgraded Mac G3 (gcc 4.1.1, profile 2006.1, modular X (although I am not running the boinc gui). Now, if only I could get setiathome (or some other project) running. The seti project has only been giving out units to seti-enhanced (5) since about a month back now, and I've never had success compiling seti-enhanced for PPC. That is not your problem, though! Thanks for fixing BOINC! /Mike
My next task is seeing if I can figure out what the hell is going off with the setiathome client. If any of you guys know of useful links, mailing lists etc that will help me produce a nice updated setiathome client build then please send them my way! I am marking this as resolved - please reopen if that turns out not to be the case.
