BOINC depends on various software to build, test, and run.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Operating systems</h1>
|
|
|
|
The server components run on flavors of Unix. We develop on Solaris 2.6-2.9
|
|
and Debian Linux stable and unstable, so those currently work out-of-the-box.
|
|
Other Unix-like systems should work without too much configuration.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Unix software</h1>
|
|
|
|
Required for <b>compiling</b>:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>GNU C++</b> 2.95 or 3.0-3.3; other C++ compilers can be ported
|
|
<li>Other standard development tools assumed: make, gzip, etc.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Required on the <b>database</b> server:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>MySQL server</b> 3.23+ or 4.0+: other SQL server can be ported
|
|
(package <code>mysql-server</code>)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Required on the <b>master/scheduler</b> server(s):
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Apache</b> or other webserver (package <code>apache2</code> or <code>apache</code>)
|
|
<li><b>PHP</b> 4.0 (package <code>php4</code>)
|
|
<li><b>MySQL client</b> (package <code>mysql-client</code>)
|
|
<li><b>Python</b> 2.2+ (package <code>python2.3</code> or <code>python2.2</code>)
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href=http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python><b>Python module MySQLdb</b></a>
|
|
0.9.2 (0.9.1 currently won't work; see <a
|
|
href=install_python_mysqldb.txt>installation instructions</a>)
|
|
(package <code>python-mysqldb</code>)
|
|
<li><a href=http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/><b>Python module xml</b></a>
|
|
(part of most Python distributions; package <code>python-xml</code>)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
The <a href=test.php>test suite</a> simulates all servers on a single machine
|
|
as well as a client, so to run <code>make check</code> you need most of the
|
|
usual server and client software:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>MySQL server</b> with permissions to create databases
|
|
<li><b>MySQL client</b>
|
|
<li><b>Python</b> with modules as above
|
|
<li>Apache and PHP: can be used but not required
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Optional, required only if you change <code>*/Makefile.am</code>:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>automake</b> 1.7+
|
|
<li><b>autoconf</b> 2.5+
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<small>
|
|
On Debian Linux you can install all of the above software using
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<code>apt-get install g++ python python-mysqldb python-xml mysql-server mysql-client apache php4 automake autoconf</code>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
