Hello all!

I'm delighted to finally join boinc :)

After doing work for SETI@home, I wanted to see if boinc was open source and so it was so I downloaded boincs source code from the SVN:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/boinc

After it finished downloading, I opened the following directory in windows:

C:\Projects\Boinc\win_build

And then I opened up the project. Once its finished updating Intellisense, I hit F7, and wait for it to compile. But I get alot of errors. You may be thinking do I have Platform SDK Installed? Yes, I do. Also the SDK it told me to download which is:

Windows Platform Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK

Can anyone help me? The errors it keeps throwing out is:

c:\projects\boinc\client\http_curl.h(27) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'curl/curl.h': No such file or directory

AND

..\client\client_types.cpp(22) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory

AND

c:\Projects\Boinc\lib\crypt.h(28) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/rsa.h': No such file or directory

AND

c:\Projects\Boinc\lib\crypt.h(28) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/rsa.h': No such file or directory

Can anybody help me here please?

Thanks!

Please see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient first and foremost to see if everything is set up correctly. You seem to be missing the boinc_depends_win_vs200X, where X is the version of Visual Studio. Which one are you using? And on which Windows?

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3.

Oh. Do I need to download boinc_depends_win_vs2005 into the same directory as:

C:\Projects\Boinc

Only if you use Visual Studio 2005, or the express edition of this one.
When using VS2008, you download boinc_depends_win_VS2008; when using VS2010, download boinc_depends_win_vs2010;

Directory tree, see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SourceCode#UsingSubversion.

Yes. Ok, I'm using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, s I have downloaed the right one. After adding the include files to the directories, I still have this error when compiling the boinc project:

C:\Projects\Boinc\boinc_depends_win_vs2005\wxwidgets\include\wx\string.h(25) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/defs.h': No such file or directory

Go back to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CompileClient.
Did you set up everything as it says there you should? Including the Environment Variables? Are you building Debug or Release?
