Install boinc, attach to project, that's all or do you get errors?

I don't get any work to crunch. BOINC back off for 24 hours.

It won't get one.

When I add the project a warning says the project may not have tasks for this type of computer (Its a Mac Mini M4 2025), but I added it anyway then it won't connect or get tasks.

In SRBase venue configuration there is no check box to set it to allow Mac work for both CPU and GPU.

You only can use cpu tasks. I can't find your host. What is your OS? CPU enable is enough in your venue.

There is no host to link, it refuses to run any SRBase tasks. Every time I try it backs off BOINC for 24 hours. The app doesn't work on my Mac Mini M4 running Mac OS Darwin 24.2.0 with BOINC 8.0.2

Not using BAM from BOINCstats.

I've now successfully run several short and several average3 on the M4 Pro MacBook Pro with BOINC 8.0.2, the only two work unit tasks I was given with everything checked off. I'll let the task list run through.

I hope next time I drop by (probably around next year's BOINC Pentathlon as I'm normally folding instead) Apple GPU support exists too, not just CPU support.

The SRBase project should now probably be updated to show the Mac supported bit to the BOINC client so the warning of no work goes away, and put a permanent note someplace easy (perhaps in the project config page) for which projects support Mac.

Thanks again for the Mac work and congrats on a successful inclusion of the Mac code!
