patch. I've tested it with a i686-pc-linux-gnu client, after adding<br><alt_platform>windows_intelx86</alt_platform> to the <options> element in<br>cc_config.xml and attaching PrimeGrid (which only offers applications for

be possible to set more than one alternate platforms. Instead of a single<br>elment, it should be possible to have something like this:<br><alternate_platforms><br> <platform>alternative_platform</platform>
<br> <platform>another_alternative_platform</platform><br> <platform>a_third_alternative_platform</platform><br></alternate_platforms><br>What do you think?</blockquote><div><br>I believe this would indeed be a good thing, but I expect this would require more work on the client, as it'd need to be able to offer/try several platforms with any project's scheduler...
<br>Your proposal is definitely a step toward my idea of a multiplatform-capable boinc client.<br><br></div>I'll get back to you ASAP with my test results.<br><br>Thibaut<br></div><br>-- <br>Thibaut VARENE<br><a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet/">
