Building gLExec from src rpm gLite era

How to build gLExec from a .src.rpm

Different versions can be used, this is a working example and work in progress...

General

• Tested platform: Centos-4

• Yum Installed:

rpm-build
gcc
gcc-c++
make
libtool

• For 64bit we also need to yum install (to fulfill a vdt dependency)

glibc.i686

• We need the following extra packages. Installation instructions are split between superuser mode or unprivileged mode below:

32bit
vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.6.1x86_rhas_4-9.i386.rpm
org.glite.build.common-cpp-3.2.1-2.slc4.i386.rpm
glite-security-voms-api-c-1.8.12-1.slc4.i386.rpm
glite-security-voms-api-cpp-1.8.12-1.slc4.i386.rpm
glite-security-lcas-interface-1.3.11-1.slc4.i386.rpm
glite-security-lcas-1.3.11-2.slc4.i386.rpm
glite-security-lcmaps-1.4.7-1.slc4.i386.rpm

64bit
vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.6.1x86_64_rhas_4-9.x86_64.rpm
org.glite.build.common-cpp-3.2.1-2.slc4.x86_64.rpm
glite-security-voms-api-c-1.8.12-1.slc4.x86_64.rpm
glite-security-voms-api-cpp-1.8.12-1.slc4.x86_64.rpm
glite-security-lcas-interface-1.3.11-1.slc4.x86_64.rpm
glite-security-lcas-1.3.11-2.slc4.x86_64.rpm
glite-security-lcmaps-1.4.7-1.slc4.x86_64.rpm

Working as superuser

• Install the above packages using rpm -i

• Instead of using rpm -i to install the extra packages, we can for 32bit only, setup a Yum repository:

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/glite-GLEXEC_wn.repo << EOF
[glite-GLEXEC_wn]
name=gLite 3.1 gLExec Worker Node
baseurl=http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/R3.1/glite-GLEXEC_wn/sl4/\$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
yum install glite-security-lcmaps glite-security-lcas glite-security-lcas-interface

Unfortunately org.glite.build.common-cpp-3.2.1-2.slc4.i386.rpm still has to be installed by hand from Etics.

• Installed from tarball into /opt/globus: tar -C /opt/globus -zxf globus-4.0.3-VDT-1.6.1-9.tar.gz

32bit
globus-4.0.3-VDT-1.6.1-9.tar.gz

64bit
globus-4.0.3-VDT-1.6.1-9.tar.gz

NOTE: it would have been sufficient to install vdt_globus_sdk-VDT1.6.1x86_rhas_4-9.i386.rpm (32bit) or vdt_globus_simple_ca-VDT1.6.1x86_64_rhas_4-9.x86_64.rpm (64bit), but unfortunately these don't contain the files /opt/globus/include/gcc64*/globus_config.h which is why it is easier to install the tarball. See also https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GenerateLfcDpmRpms for a way to rebuild the globus_config.h files.

• Create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/glite.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/globus.conf:

32bit

echo /opt/glite/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/glite.conf
echo /opt/globus/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/globus.conf
ldconfig

64bit

echo /opt/glite/lib64 > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/glite.conf
echo /opt/globus/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/globus.conf
ldconfig

• install (rpm -i)

glite-security-glexec-0.6.8-3.src.rpm

• patch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/glite-security-glexec.spec

• Create rpm:

cd /usr/src/redhat
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/glite-security-glexec.spec

• NOTE: changing the install directory is now simply changing the

Prefix: /opt/glite

line in the spec file

Working as unprivileged user

• Setup a working directory, e.g. /tmp/test:

export MYDIR=/tmp/test

• Create a ~/.rpmmacros file:

cat > ~/.rpmmacros << EOF
%MYDIR $MYDIR
%_dbpath        %{MYDIR}/rpmdb
%_rpmlock_path  %{MYDIR}/tmp/rpmlock
%_topdir        %{MYDIR}/usr/src/redhat
EOF

NOTE: the %_dbpath setting means this rpm database will be used for all actions. Optionally, one could specify a

--dbpath $MYDIR/rpmdb

option to all the following rpm and rpmbuild commands.

• Create all the necessary directories:

mkdir -p $MYDIR/tmp
mkdir -p $MYDIR/usr/src/redhat/{SOURCES,BUILD,RPMS}

• Setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MYDIR/opt/glite/lib:$MYDIR/opt/globus/lib

• Install all the needed RPMs from the above list:

rpm --nodeps --prefix=$MYDIR/opt/globus -i vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.6.1x86_rhas_4-9.i386.rpm
rpm --nodeps --relocate=/=$MYDIR -i glite-security-*.i386.rpm org.glite.build.common-cpp*
rpm -i glite-security-glexec-0.6.8-3.src.rpm

• Install the above globus tarball:

tar -C $MYDIR/opt/globus -zxf ~/rpm/globus-4.0.3-VDT-1.6.1-9.tar.gz

• Patch the glite-security-glexec.spec:

TODO

• provide a script which does all the above steps...

• SL5

• Other packages from .src.rpm

• Bug reports about vdt...
