The graphical features are not a hard requirement of boinc-wrapper. If freeglut is missing at configure time, the build script gracefully skips it with the following message. checking for GLUT library... no configure: WARNING: ================================================================================ WARNING: Development libraries and headers ("-dev") of {openGL, GLU, glut} needed! The GL, GLU and glut libraries are required in order to build the graphical parts of the BOINC application API library. ==> only building non-graphical parts of the BOINC API Library for now. HINT: on MacOS X/Darwin you might consider running configure with the option './configure --with-apple-opengl-framework' in order to use the Mac-native openGL framework ================================================================================ ---- Workaround - add to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided the following. # ignore optional dependency of sci-misc/boinc-wrapper media-libs/freeglut-3.4.0 ---- Proposed solution - implement a USE flag to make this dependency optional.

Apply a patch to revert upstream switch to SIGTSTP signal for task suspending, which never works. 2. Skip OpenGL check, so libboinc_graphics is never built.
