If I use the GUI to extract the boinc-master ready to compile I get

ERROR: Dangerous link path was ignored : boinc-master/drupal/sites/default/themes/project : ../project/themes/

Using unzip from the command line works normally. Just in case anyone else comes across this.

Edit: I can confirm that on my fresh install of Questing having used the command line to decompress the archive, installation worked normally. (Actually, not normally. More often than not I forget and put an extra space into

./configure --disable-server

It then complains that it doesn't recognise the option disable)

I recommend to use `git clone` command instead of unpacking zip arhive since we have some symlinks, and they doesn't usually work good, and you have just a perfect example of it.

Thanks Vitalii,
I will remember that for next time. I hadn't seen this particular issue before in over 10 years of compiling from source.
