hello, I've downloaded the source code from the trunk a few days ago and I wanted to know what version is it?

the file configure.ac has this:
AC_INIT(BOINC, 6.1.7)

one more question, what file contains which directories are needed to compile?

If you're trying to compile the client, don't use trunk. Use a tag for the version you want to compile.

If you're trying to compile the server, or the API for a science application, there isn't really a version number for those. 6.1.7 is "the version of the core client that happens to be along with this server and API".

The SVN revision number is a good way to identify server and API versions.

one more question, what file contains which directories are needed to compile?

It's on Makefiles everywhere. But you shouldn't need that information, just do ./_autosetup && ./configure (add --disable-server and/or --disable-client here depending on what you want) && make
