Hi Ken, I had more luck than you in my boinc-app-milkyway from github. I can run and validate successfully every milkyway_nbody task but I get a failure on milkybody_separation one.
I don't have the nbody build now, I can give it to you tomorrow if you are intrested. Anyway for making it build: install boinc, boinc-app-dev, boinc-dev clone the repository git submodule init git submodule update delete the boinc folder (in this way we will use _our_ boinc libraries) apply the two pull requests https://github.com/Milkyway-at-home/milkywayathome_client/pulls (or just use the patches in debian directory) clone the debian directory from here http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-boinc/boinc-app-milkyway.git dpkg-buildpackage should do the trick On monday I'll update the debian git repository, it won't work right now after you create the package (I'll change the debian/rules for building only the nbody) you will be able to run milkyway. As soon as I get more feedbacks, and if I don't figure out what is wrong with separation, I'll update milkyway using only nbody platform (and of course after I'm sure this is the right client to ship). EDIT: I see that maybe separation isn't just supported http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/apps.php http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3394 http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=3407 bests, G. > Il Domenica 12 Gennaio 2014 9:27, Ken Sharp > <[email protected]> ha scritto: > > I'm not sure if the code you referenced is the correct code.
