I joined E@H because I thought it looked like an interesting project. Unfortunately, I can't contribute because there's no FreeBSD client.
Could you either provide a FreeBSD client or publish the source code so that
we can build our own clients.
Hi Peter,
I guess you found this hoary old thread by doing a search on FreeBSD.
It is an interesting project, as you surmise, but unfortunately the devs have stated quite a few times that the science app source code will not be released.
Basically that leaves you with options like running the Windoze client under Wine or perhaps running the Linux client under emulation, unless somebody in the developer camp has a FreeBSD box and decides to build it.
I'm sure I've seen one or two references to somebody running FreeBSD and contributing so maybe more persistent searching of the EAH lists may find out how other people have done it.
Could I ask about progress on porting E@H on FreeBSD?
Not much yet. Quite some problems were solved on the Mac which should help for FreeBSD, too. But we are still way too busy with stuff on the science side. I'll have another look at that when I get a hand free. At least I have set up a FreeBSD (5) machine now...

Actually, you can run on FreeBSD, if you have the linux compatability layer enabled. (Either compiled into your kernel or installed via 'kldload linux')
You'll need to manually download the latest albert client and .so for pc-linux-gnu then use 'brandelf -t Linux albert*' to mark them as Linux; and you'll need to construct an app_info.xml file for it. I've just done that and it seems to be running smoothly. It'll probably be at least a couple of days before I can verify that it's returning good results and getting credit.

Good luck with your quest.
Cheers,

btw, BOINC compiled and runs without problem.
