[AG-TECH] Which version should I use?

[Douglas Kosovic]

Hi David,

> Is the any guidance on installing from cvs on FC2?

First the instructions for build AGTk 2.3 beta1 from the source tarball:

http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/2.3_beta1/gentoo/AccessGrid-2.3_beta1.tar.gz

The AGTk-2.3-beta1-FC2.patch reference below is from:

http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC2/stable/patches/AGTk-2.3-beta1-FC2.patch

1. Download and install the gpt and globus-accessgrid RPMs from:
    http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC2/stable/RPMS

2. start a new login shell or source the following (e.g with bash) :
    . /etc/profile.d/gpt.sh
    . /etc/profile.d/globus.sh

3. mkdir -p /sandbox/agtk/packages
    cd /sandbox/agtk/packages
    tar xvzf ~/AccessGrid-2.3_beta1.tar.gz
    chmod -R root:root *
    ln -s AccessGrid-20040806_192424 AccessGrid
    patch -p0 < ~/AGTk-2.3-beta1-FC2.patch
    export AGBUILDROOT=/sandbox/agtk/packages
    cd AccessGrid/packaging/
    ./BuildSnapshot.py --no-checkout -m 1beta


During the build there is a test phase and the build might get stuck in one
of the tests, so kill the corresponding python process (by doing a 'ps -ef '
and 'kill').

You might also want to apply the ALSA 0.9/1.0 audio driver patch for rat
from:
  http://www.ap-accessgrid.org/linux/rat/


If you want to build from CVS instead, replace the following step in the
above:
  ln -s AccessGrid-20040806_192424 AccessGrid
with:
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.mcs.anl.gov:/cvs/fl co AccessGrid


See AG-Linux-Build-HOWTO.rtf  for more details:
    http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/AccessGrid/doc/
