Subject: Trying to compile SETI/BOINC on Tru64 UNIX

Greetings,

It looks like SETI Classic is coming to an end.  I've been running it
on a Tru64 UNIX system, V5.1B PK4.  I checked the SETI/BOINC site and
downloaded the source to try to compile.  The compile of BOINC fails
with the messages:

cxx: Error: ../lib/diagnostics.h, line 152: expected an identifier
#define BOINCTRACE(...)
-------------------^
cxx: Warning: boinc_api.C, line 154: missing return statement at end of
          non-void function "boinc_worker_thread_cpu_time"
}
^
cxx: Info: 1 error detected in the compilation of "boinc_api.C".
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.

I've never programmed in a UNIX environment so I don't know how to fix
this.  Any UNIX experts out there?

Thanks,
nafc
