Open wargoblin opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Updated the INSTALL guide with instructions for configuring and building the server, and added pointers to scripts in the 3rdParty directory for downloading dependencies

This page is confusing. It shouldn't exist. There are 7 separate cases:

  1. building the BOINC client and manager a) on Linux b) on Win with VS c) on Mac with XCode
  2. building an application linked with the BOINC API a) on Linux b) on Win with VS c) on Mac with XCode
  3. building the server software (on Linux)

We should (on the wiki) give a cookbook for each of these.

Then we should use this page as a enter-point with the links to all the other relevant wiki pages, including the information how to install BOINC client and Manager on any supported platform without building it from sources.
