Building and Installing

If you want to install only C WS Core (as opposed to the entire Globus Toolkit), we describe two options below: from the installer and from CVS.

In order to build and install the C WS-Core component from an official release:

Table 1. Building C WS Core from installer

1

Obtain the latest GT 4.x.x release tarball installer from the Download webpage.

2

Untar the tarball:

 tar xvfz
         gt<version>-all-source-installer.tar.gz

3

Change to the installer directory:

 cd
         gt<version>-all-source-installer

4

Run:

./configure -prefix=<path to install>

5

Run:

make wsc

6

Run:

make install

In order to build C WS Core from CVS:

Table 2. Building C WS Core from CVS

1

Obtain the source code for C WS Core from CVS:

  1. To get the latest source from CVS execute:

     cvs -d
                :pserver:anonymous@cvs.globus.org:/home/globdev/CVS/globus-packages \ checkout
               packaging

  2. Change into the packaging directory.

     cd
                packaging

2Set the GLOBUS_LOCATION environment variable to the absolute path of the target directory of your installation.

On Unix/Linux:

         setenv GLOBUS_LOCATION /soft/gt4/

or

 export
        GLOBUS_LOCATION=/soft/gt4/

3

Run make-packages.pl

 ./make-packages.pl -bundles=gt4-c-ws-core -deps -install=$GLOBUS_LOCATION
