globus_core should be made to support linux on sparc64 hw. I have made a new globus_core with a potential fix, but has no machine to test it on. Please download GPT and globus_core from http://www.isi.edu/~rynge/sparc64/ and try to build it: - Set GPT_LOCATION and GLOBUS_LOCATION - Install GPT (./build_gpt) - Build globus_core in verbose mode and save the log: gpt-build -verbose globus_core-*.tar.gz gcc64dbg 2>&1 | tee build.log - attach build log to this bug. Once the build log looks good, I'll commit the fix to CVS.
config.guess output: sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu
Created an attachment (id=665) [details] build.log of the test version of globus_core-4.26.tar.gz (8 Aug 2005)
Bah, it is building the wrong
Bah, it is building the wrong globus_core. Before building globus_core, please copy the new one on top of GPT's included version: cp globus_core-4.26.tar.gz $GPT_LOCATION/etc/gpt/globus_core-src.tar.gz and then build globus_core.
Created an attachment (id=666) [details] Correct build.log of the test version of globus_core-4.26.tar.gz (8 Aug 2005) Here is the build.log after the replacement of globus_core with the globus_core-4.26.tar.gz package.
Thanks Enrico, that looks much better. This means that you can probably make a successful Globus install, but I'm not sure if the result is actually 64bit binaries or not. I will try to get a sparc64 box up and running here, so I can get more details.
Thanks Mats, if you need a ssh account on my sparc64 machine please tell me and I will create one for your tests. In the meantime I will do some compilation tests with your fixed globus_core package.
Fixes commited to globus_4_0_branch and head. Enrico, you can make an installer with these changes by following the instructions at http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/development/remote-cvs.html
