[AG-TECH] Mac OS X PackageMaker and AccessGrid problems

[Ashnil Kumar]

I was recently pointed to  
http://fl-cvs.mcs.anl.gov/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/AccessGrid/ 
doc/AG-Mac-Build-HOWTO.rtf?rev=1.2.2.4&only_with_tag=r_2_3_final to  
build the AccessGrid for Mac OS X.

I have followed the instructions there, using the older versions of  
fpconst and SOAPpy as required. I still run across a major problem when  
running BuildSnapshot.py (the main build python script). Once  
BuildPackage.py is called and executes PackageMaker the build seems to  
take a very very long time to make the package. It is still taking up  
CPU cycles according to 'top'. I let the packaging continue over a day  
or two and it was still going.

The output at this point is given below, as well as some errors that  
occurred before the packaging.

cmd =  /usr/bin/python BuildPackage.py --verbose -s  
/Volumes/Data/mnt/agscratch -b /Volumes/Data/mnt/agscratch/AccessGrid  
-d /Volumes/Data/mnt/agscratch/dist-20051214_102445 -p 2.3 -m  
Snapshot_20051214_102445 -v 3.0
SourceDir =  /Volumes/Data/mnt/agscratch
BuildDir =  /Volumes/Data/mnt/agscratch/AccessGrid
DestDir =  /Volumes/Data/mnt/agscratch/dist-20051214_102445
metainfo =  Snapshot_20051214_102445
version =  3.0
TmpDir: /tmp/tmpmhTRvA
Backing up old file: ../AGTk-3.0 to ../AGTk-3.0.old
         Removing old backup (directory): ../AGTk-3.0.old
Running packaging command:  
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
PackageMaker -build -p ../AGTk-3.0/AGTk-3.0.pkg -f  
/tmp/tmpmhTRvA/pkg_contents -ds -r /tmp/tmpmhTRvA/pkg_resources -i  
/tmp/tmpmhTRvA/pkg_contents/AccessGridToolkit.app/Contents/Info.plist  
-d /tmp/tmpmhTRvA/pkg_resources/Description.plist

Before this, there were a few errors that did not stop the build  
process:

Calling build script:  VideoService.build.py
** Error: Unsupported platform: darwin
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "VideoService.build.py", line 25, in ?

Examining the files in question, there is no sys.platform == 'darwin'  
option.

Any help as to how to get the AccessGrid built and packaged for Mac OS  
X Server 10.3 would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashnil
