Hi Claggy and all, My suggestion is not to continue using older builds of BOINC for Linux. Instead, build the current version of BOINC and static link it with wxWidgets 3.0.2 using the following commands:
cd /path/to/wxWidgets-3.0.2 ./configure --disable-shared --disable-debug_flag --disable_debug --enable-webview make sudo make install cd /path/to/boinc/sources ./_autosetup ./configure --disable-server --disable-boinczip --enable-unicode --disable-debug make Cheers, --Charlie On Jan 21, 2015, at 6:53 PM, Charlie Fenton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Claggy, > > On Jan 21, 2015, at 2:58 PM, Stephen Maclagan <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Changeset doesn't seem to have made it to the 7.4 head, any chance that it >> could be added to it?, > > > I have held off porting to the 7.4 branch until we have had sufficient > testing to ensure that the changes don't cause problems on platforms other > than Linux and that they actually do fix the problems on Linux. > > On Jan 16, 2015, at 5:57 PM, Stephen Maclagan <[email protected]> > wrote: >> I've built Boinc 7.5.0 from master, the Event Log does nicely disappear >> behind the main window post the following changeset: > > Can you confirm the latest changes work on Boinc 7.5.0 from master? > >> and to the 7.2/7.0 heads for hosts/repositories that only have Wxwidgets 2.8? > > It is not at all clear that the changes I have made in the past weeks will > work properly with wxWidgets 2.8.
