What should I set CONDOR_LIB to?

[soichih]

I am using condor installation that comes with OSG repo, which happens to be following at the moment..

condor-7.8.6-1.osg.el6.x86_64

When I do "cmake .", I get following message.

2013-03-22 23:54:22 UTC [hayashis@soichi6:~/git/python-condor]$ cmake .
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:57 (MESSAGE):
Could NOT find Condor (missing: CONDOR_LIB)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/FindCondor.cmake:28 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
CMakeLists.txt:32 (find_package)

I am not sure what I should set CONDOR_LIB to.. (I tried /var/lib/condor but didn't work)

Meanwhile, I see following in the README

Note the following environment or CMake variables are required to build:

• CONDOR_DIR - path to top-level directory of the HTCondor source code.

Do I really need to do this also? If so, how should I go about installing condor source that matches the condor distributed by OSG? (How can I keep it in-sync with OSG repo's?)

Thanks,
Soichi

Hi Soichi,

Yes, you need the HTCondor source code in order to build the project. This is because HTCondor exports no APIs for plugin writers.

Since we now maintain and ship the python bindings with HTCondor itself, I'd recommend you try 7.9.4 (either build your own or from the UW RPMs). OSG is working toward getting 7.9.4 in the osg-testing repo too.

I see condor-7.8.6 on osg-testing repo. Do you know when 7.9.4 will be released? (if it's close then I will just wait)

Unrelated question.. Is it possible to write a python-condor script which will subscribe to certain condor events (like Job finish, cancel, etc..) via callback function?

Soichi-

7.9.4 has already been released, you can find it on the HTCondor homepage.

There's not much in the way of callback functionality within HTCondor.

HTCondor does have a event log parser; I previously combined that with inotify to provide callback-like functionality in C++. I suppose I could brush that work off and add bindings for that too. However, I doubt I'll be able to take this up until after 8.0. Patches are accepted, of course!
