Dear community,

I just installed my boinc on a virtual machine (Debian 8) some while ago. Now, I wanted to write my own boinc application for this server. For this task, I followed the instructions in the technical documentation. I wrote a program, which includes boinc_init() and boinc_finish(0) and a system call to a python script, which burns some CPU time. If I add the compiled program to my project and start the server, the client only says, that there are no tasks available. So I thought, that I may have wrote a wrong program and included another one from the boinc sources to my project (the sleeper one, which just burns some CPU time). Unfortunately, the client still says that there are no tasks available. If I create a new project with the -test_app parameter, everything works fine. Only my own projects seem to not work.

Therefore my question is, if there is something like a step by step tutorial for creating own boinc applications? The one in the technical documentation seems not to work for me (or I may misunderstood it).

Thank you for your time and attention.

Regards

I can't remember any cookbook examples.

But, going from what you tell you have done, or more specifically, what you didn't tell you have done, did you create any work for your app?
