Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/cauldrondevelopmentllc/cbang
git clone https://github.com/foldingathome/fah-client-bastet
git -C cbang checkout bastet-v8.4.9
git -C fah-client-bastet checkout v8.4.9
git -C cbang cherry-pick -n 1e24e6d90cde528db0bb7a1f65009d237c737701
export CBANG_HOME=$PWD/cbang
scons -C cbang
scons -C fah-client-bastet
scons -C fah-client-bastet package

That works on my Fedora 41 installation.

Are all prerequisites installed?

That series of commands did the Job
Thank you

I tried Marcos FRM code and got

Code: Select all

src/cbang/openssl/KeyPair.cpp:55:10: fatal error: openssl/engine.h: No such file or directory
   55 | #include <openssl/engine.h>

"Fedora 41+ also requires the openssl-devel-engine package."

Does this RPM still require systemd? Some of us still prefer the previous way of doing things...

In the meantime, still happily running the 7.4 version and foldin' away!

Have a great day and be happy!

To have a client that doesn’t need systemd, you need to build it yourself on a machine without systemd. The install package will not work for you, because it will require systemd anyway. You will have to use the tarball and set up a service yourself. Or just manually run it.

scons -C cbang
scons -C fah-client-bastet
scons -C fah-client-bastet package

That works on my Fedora 41 installation.

This worked on Fedora 42 just a week ago or so
