Hi, could anybody help?
Is this my fault or can there be anything done on the project server?
Any idea?

The Lattice Project
Compiled 64-bit Linux Garli-2.01 - can I use it?

No one?

Alright here's the skinny: I compiled the GARLI app (statically linked) for the Lattice Project. Runtests.sh passed successfully. I copied the app into the project folder and created an app_info.xml there. Restarted the client but got "This project doesn't support computers of type anonymous" from the server. Project admin says it's no problem on their side.
I tried to give the platform in various places but sched_request....xml always had <platform_name>anonymous</platform_name> in it. I think that's the way it is supposed to be ...

What else could I have done wrong? Like giving the wrong version? Wrong app name?

I thought about setting up my own BOINC server but that's just too much.

I'll simply conclude that it's not my fault but that the project.xml on the project's server is not correct.

You can specify a platform in app_info (you can also specify an alt_platform). It's usually something like windows_intelx86 or similar. Check with the project which platforms they are supporting, ithey usually have an applications plage where they list the apps for each platform and then pick the nearest equivalent.

Thanks Mark, but I already tried that (as mentioned in the linked thread).

Additionally:

// if primary platform is anonymous, ignore alternate platforms. //

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gitweb/?p=boinc-v2.git;a=blob;f=sched/handle_request.cpp#l1290

My app_info.xml now looks like this:
http://paste.balbinus.org/1062

I also tried the <platform_name> and <platform_name><name> scheme, as well as <alt_platform><name>.
sched_request_boinc.umiacs.umd.edu.xml always has <platform_name>anonymous</platform_name>. But so does SETI and it works.

Serendipitously I found that there's a get_project_config.php for Lattice. In contrast to SETI it only has Linux 32-bit in it. I'll contact the project admin (again).
