Using Boinc with Visual Studio .NET

To use boinc in the project:

1. Include the needed files called from the software into a new folder (let's say boincapi). In our case, files are:

• app_ipc.C
• app_ipc.h
• boinc_api.C
• boinc_api.h
• filesys.C
• filesys.h
• graphics_api.C
• graphics_api.h
• graphics_impl.C
• graphics_impl.h
• hostinfo.C
• hostinfo.h
• md5.c
• md5.h
• mem_usage.C
• mem_usage.h
• mfile.C
• mfile.h
• miofile.c
• miofile.h
• parse.c
• parse.h
• prefs.c
• prefs.h
• proxy_info.c
• proxy_info.h
• util.C
• util.h
• shmem.C
• shmem.h
• md5_file.C
• md5_file.h
• windows_opengl.C

Be sure that the compilation language is C++ (neither default nor C).

2. Add into the C++ dependencies, $BOINC_HOME/lib, $BOINC_HOME/api, $BOINC_HOME/zip, $BOINC_HOME/client/win and $BOINC_HOME/.

3. In the linker dependencies, add: opengl32.lib glu32.lib glaux.lib

4. The _CONSOLE preprocessor macro should not be defined.
