freebsd linux compatibility memory problems

Has anyone successfully got the world community grid client to run under freebsd linux compatibility mode? Here are the steps I have taken thus far.

downloaded the linux client and extracted it
cd to /home/BOINC
find . -type f -exec brandelf -t Linux \;
/compat/linux/bin/sh run_client -attach_project www.worldcommunitygrid.org <number>

biggrin Re: freebsd linux compatibility memory problems

Maybe we can help each other out here :)

I had the SAME error where it says -4096 bytes of memory and WCG saying I didn't have enough memory, it also told me I had 1 CPU not 2...but I fixed that, I just need to figure out what you did to emulate linux to download work. I get a platform not found error so I'll try what you did.

The only way I was able to get BOINC to work correctly on FreeBSD 6.0 was to build it from source...

First you will need to download and install "GNU M4 1.4.4"
Then you need to download and install GNU's "autoconf"
Then you need to download and install GNU's "automake"

All from http://www.gnu.org

Then you need to download and install curl (for libcurl) from http://curl.haxx.se

Then you need to download BOINC's source from the stable CVS
from there:

./_autosetup
./configure
make
make install

and that fixed all my BOINC problems cept the platform thing -_-

angry Re: freebsd linux compatibility memory problems

When I build from source I only get boinc_client and boinc_cmd. When I did

brandelf -t Linux boinc_client

it seemed to execute fine but when I run boinc_client I get

Segmentation Fault: 11 (core dump)

I then did:

tuss boinc_client

and I got an error about linux_lchown not being found (I'd paist the exact error but I'm not on the computer now...if someone needs it to help me here let me know)

I should also add that when I brandelf on the distributed version it still works right but I have the memory error and the single cpu error still...if there's a way to fix those errors without building from source like I did maybe it could work...idk I'm lost...
