Compiling BOINC/Seti@Home for OpenBSD 5.3 Sparc64
I used to use x86 Linux clients for this years ago, but ceased all activity until last night. I have resurrected an old Sun Blade 100, which used to run Solaris 9, when I first owned it, in the 2003 period, but now is very much alive with 2 gig of new ram, and and extra 10 gig of drive space for these types of projects.
I have to plug OpenBSD - these guys did a great job with this Sparc64 port for these older Sun boxes. Now this computer sits running actively, with nothing to do! So lets run Seti on it, but alas, no recent binary for OpenBSD Sparc64 seems to be found. Thus I tried last night to compile my own, but the _autosetup script fails saying it can't find M4 >= 1.4 (not true, I have latest), automake( not true I have latest), autoconf (not true I have latest). The only thing it finds is gmake, which passes. Is there some sort of special tailoring necessary for OpenBSD? Or has someone solved all these issues already and could help me out? Thanks, Richard.

update-boinc-applinks

update-boinc-applinks(1)												  update-boinc-applinks(1)

NAME

       update-boinc-applinks - create/remove symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications

SYNOPSIS

       update-boinc-applinks [options]

DESCRIPTION

       update-boinc-applinks  creates  (or  removes)  symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications and their associated app_info.xml files in a
       given BOINC data directory.

       Note: update-boinc-applinks is an extension for Debian users and is only available in Debian's boinc-client package.

OPTIONS

       For a full summary of options, run update-boinc-applinks --help.

       -h, --help
	      Show help message and all options.

       --create
	      Create symbolic links and project directories.

       --remove
	      Remove symbolic links and empty project directories.

       --data-dir=DIR
	      Manage symbolic links in the given directory DIR. If this option is not present, DIR defaults to the current working directory.

       --project=PROJECT
	      Manage symbolic links only for the given project PROJECT.  Run update-boinc-applinks --list-projects to get a list of  projects  for
	      which  anonymous applications are available and therefore can be replaced with PROJECT. If this option is not present, update-boinc-
	      applinks will manage symbolic links for all available projects.

       --list-projects
	      Show a list of projects for which anonymous applications are available. Normally those applications are provided by packages  called
	      boinc-app-PROJECT (e.g. boinc-app-seti).
