Building gLExec and its gLite dependencies from SVN source

Introduction

This page explains the steps needed to build gLite tools, in particular gLExec and its LCMAPS and LCAS dependencies directly from the source in CVS. Note that the order in which these packages are described below ensures that all the dependencies are resolved.

We also provide an example script which builds all the different tools consecutively which has been used as the source for this wiki page.

Note that this is work in progress, hence comments, suggestions etc. are highly appreciated.

Prerequisites: Globus and global settings

At this point we depend on a (binary) globus installation. For the following OSes it can be found in the Etics repositories:

RedHat-4 32 bits (also for SL(C)-4 and Centos-4): globus-4.0.3-VDT-1.6.1-7.tar.gz
RedHat5 64 bits (also for SL(C)-5 and Centos-5): globus-4.0.7-VDT-1.10.1-1.tar.gz
OpenSUSE 11 64 bits: globus-4.0.7-VDT-1.10.1-1.tar.gz
Debian-5 64 bits: globus-4.0.8-VDT-2.0.0-2.tar.gz

Set one of the following exports, depending on 32 or 64 bit platform:

export globus_flav=gcc32

or

export globus_flav=gcc64

And additionally, adapted to personal taste:

export source=/tmp/source       # Where to download sources
export globus=/tmp/build/globus # Where to install globus
export glite=/tmp/build/glite   # Where to find glite builds
export prefix=${glite}          # Where to install glite builds
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@glite.cvs.cern.ch:/cvs/glite  # anonymous CVS root

Make sure ${source} exists.

Since all these tarballs assume installation in /opt/globus unpack and 'relocate' as follows:

mkdir -p ${globus} && \
cd ${globus} && \
tar -zxf <globus tarball> && \
find -type f -name \*.la|while read file;do
    sed s+/opt/globus+${globus}+g ${file} > ${file}.new && \
        mv -f ${file}.new ${file}
done

VOMS API

Dependencies: Globus

cd ${source}
cvs co -r glite-security-voms_R_1_9_16_2 org.glite.security.voms
cd org.glite.security.voms
./configure --prefix=${prefix} --with-globus-prefix=${globus} --disable-java --with-api-only
make && make install

LCMAPS

Dependencies: Globus, VOMS API

Note: It is important to use the given org.glite.build.common-cpp version!

cd ${source}
cvs co -r glite-build-common-cpp_R_3_2_7_1 org.glite.build.common-cpp
cvs co org.glite.security.lcmaps
cd org.glite.security.lcmaps
cp -p ../org.glite.build.common-cpp/m4/{globus,glite,glite_security,lcmaps}.m4 ./project
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=${prefix} \
            --with-glite-location=${glite} \
            --with-globus-prefix=${globus} --with-globus-thr-flavor=${globus_flav}pthr --with-globus-nothr-flavor=${globus_flav}
make && make install

LCAS

Dependencies: Globus

Note: glite-build-common-cpp is also checked out under LCMAPS.

cd ${source}
cvs co -r glite-build-common-cpp_R_3_2_7_1 org.glite.build.common-cpp
cvs co org.glite.security.lcas
cd org.glite.security.lcas
cp -p ../org.glite.build.common-cpp/m4/{glite,globus,lcmaps}.m4 ./project
./bootstrap && \
./configure --prefix=${prefix} \
            --with-glite-location=${glite} \
            --with-globus-prefix=${globus} --with-globus-thr-flavor=${globus_flav}pthr --with-globus-nothr-flavor=${globus_flav}
make && make install

LCAS interface

cd ${source}
cvs co org.glite.security.lcas-interface
cd org.glite.security.lcas-interface
cp -p ../org.glite.build.common-cpp/m4/glite.m4 ./project
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=${prefix}
make install

gLExec

Dependencies: Globus, LCMAPS, LCAS, LCAS interface

Note: for Debian-5 set the following extra export:

export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath -Wl,${globus}/lib"

Note: the HEAD version of gLExec has a new configure option --with-glexec-conf to allow setting the fixed location of the configuration file, which defaults to /opt/glite/etc/glexec.conf. In older versions (including production), it is possible to do this by setting the following export before calling configure. Note the particular combination of single quotes and escaped double quotes:

export CPPFLAGS=-DGLEXEC_CONFIG_FILE='\"'${prefix}/etc/myglexec.conf'\"'

cd ${source}
cvs co org.glite.security.glexec
cd org.glite.security.glexec
cp -p ../org.glite.build.common-cpp/m4/{glite,globus,lcmaps}.m4 ./project
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=${prefix} \
            --with-glite-location=${glite}
            --with-globus-prefix=${globus} --with-globus-thr-flavor=${globus_flav}pthr --with-globus-nothr-flavor=${globus_flav}
make && make install

            --with-glite-location=${glite}
            --with-globus-prefix=${globus} --with-globus-thr-flavor=${globus_flav}pthr --with-globus-nothr-flavor=${globus_flav}

make && make install

PEP-C Library

Note: the way the PEP-C library determines the library path is not fully compatible with the way LCMAPS does it. To fix this, define:

export pepclibdir=${glite}/<libdir used by LCMAPS>

cd ${source}
svn co http://svnweb.cern.ch/guest/glxa/pep-c-lib/tags/1_3_0 org.glite.authz.pep-c

./autotools.sh
./configure --prefix=${glite} --libdir=${pepclibdir}
make && make html && make install

LCMAPS plugins C-pep

Dependencies: LCMAPS, PEP-C Library

cd ${source}
cvs co org.glite.security.lcmaps-plugins-c-pep
cd org.glite.security.lcmaps-plugins-c-pep
cp -p ../org.glite.build.common-cpp/m4/{glite,glite_security}.m4 ./project
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=${glite} --with-glite-location=${glite}
