Created attachment 243618 [details] Trivial patch As most computers with BOINC clients are running on x86_64 nowadays
We also could have it with both platforms enabled: For example, on a x86_64 linux system that supports both 64-bit and 32-bit executables, you might specify --with-boinc-platform=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and --with-boinc-alt-platform=i686-pc-linux-gnu. Just not sure whether it could be of any use, as even if some BOINC projects still have 32-bit executables, they are very likely to have 64-bit ones too, which perform better. And whether Linuxulator subsystem would be able to run 32 bit Linux executables? What else could we do with it: some kind of platform autodetection? Or manual selection via Makefile flags? This patch is just a simplest working solution, but what could the best one look like?

Comment on attachment 243865 [details] [PATCH] net/boinc-client: Change alternate platform to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Maintainer timeout
Fixed with commit for bug #252273.
I have a simple patch for this now.

Maintainer timeout > 18 months. Is port support other arch(7)-es: armv7, armv6, powerpcspe, powerpc64le, riscv64?
FreeBSD ports support Linux only on amd64, i386 and aarch64 for rl9 (Rocky Linux 9) and on amd64 and i386 for c7 (CentOS 7).

Created attachment 257076 [details] [PATCH] net/boinc-client: configure alternate platform according to ${ARCH} (In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #9) Thank you for the idea: I improved it even more :)
Options in the port is "very broken" - fixing and testing are in progress…
Created attachment 257103 [details] v1 Improve port: - fix options - dependencies, plist, configure options; - fix check for symlinks in pkg-deinstall; - fix warnings from portclippy; - configure alternate platform according to ${ARCH} for option LINUX. Can you test this patch?

Created attachment 257157 [details] [PATCH] [FOLLOW-UP] net/boinc-client: improve port
(In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #14) Thank you too. Sorry for being too late: you was so fast to commit it :) I've just successfully tested it on my local BOINC instance, all works well. And just this small follow-up, please, removing unnecessary dos2unix and tar from USES.
(In reply to Älven from comment #16) > removing unnecessary dos2unix Why unnecessary? I see: DOS2UNIX_GLOB= *.xpm
Yes, it is written, but no actual XPM files do have DOS-encoding in current versions of BOINC. It may be actual some time in the past. You may check it yourself, if you like or just need to.
All files *.xpm already have UNIX "End Of Lines"?
(In reply to Älven from comment #16) Something else? Before I commit this change. :-)
(In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #20) > Something else? Before I commit this change. :-) Thank you. Looks like you are kind and not angry on me :-) Nothing I could remember for now. P.S. I've run % find . -not -type d -exec file "{}" ";" | grep CRLF on extracted tarball of the port, and no XPM file was found. Some files which still did were lot of *.vcxproj XMLs from "win_build" folder and alike and some *.bat files. None of this seems to be relevant to non-windows builds, I think.
P.P.S. I really opened several (not all) of these XPMs with my GNU/EMACS. Mode line clearly showed common "-UU-:@---", so UNIX. For *.bat files it showed "-UU-(DOS)@---".
