Thanks for the reply. I doubt that the PPC version would run on mine because I'm using a 64-bit kernel. This is an IBM Power, so, since Mac is usually compiled with altivec, I probably wouldn't be able to use anything geared toward Mac hardware. Most likely I'll have to compile it myself. I am using anonymous for setiathome_enhanced, so that's probably what I'll try to do with this.

I just compiled from source. I compiled using: -g -O3 -pipe -mcpu=power3 -mtune=power3 -fmodulo-sched Oddly the resulting binary was still "hello_6.04_i686-pc-linux-gnu". At least it got the 'linux' part right. Hopefully, it will still work and I'll just rename it. Stay tuned...

I think it's working, but it's hard to tell with the absence of available work. I figured out what changes to make in the Makefile for the correct name and, of course, the CXXFLAGS. I'm also trying to compile 'cube' and 'starboard', but they keep looking for "../buffon.h/buffon.h". I have managed to get 'yello' compiled, but haven't tried it yet.

I don't know if this is helpful to anyone, but I figure I might as well post what edits I typically make to the Makefile's to compile on my ppc64. There's nothing really complicated about it. BUILD_ARCH=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu BOINC_BUILD= /home/user/boinc #this is where I put the boinc source BOINC_PREFIX=/usr #where gentoo installs boinc CFLAGS = -O3 -pipe -mcpu=power3 -mtune=power3 #when used CXXFLAGS = -O3 -pipe -mcpu=power3 -mtune=power3 Really the only thing that needs to be done is to change BOINC_BUILD and BOINC_PREFIX. I think changing BUILD_ARCH just gives the apps the proper name. I use '-mcpu=power3 -mtune=power3' because that's the processor my IBM Power uses. I'm using gcc-4.2 because support for power3 is broken in 4.1. 4.1 would work. I just couldn't specify the mcpu and mtune. '-O3' is just personal preference and I don't know if it helps or hurts. '-pipe' is just something Gentoo advises. I could really just get by with BUILD_ARCH=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu BOINC_BUILD= /home/user/boinc #this is where I put the boinc source BOINC_PREFIX=/usr #where gentoo installs boinc CFLAGS = CXXFLAGS = Someday I hope that Boinc projects will support ppc and ppc64 the way they support i686. After all, there are a lot of people who still have old Macs running Linux and a few like me that are determined to run Linux on IBM Power. There are also quite a few people running Linux on PS3. A generic ppc64 build should work on all of them, I would think.
