Compile/build EOS on a Rocky host

1

Hello,

Can you please give me some pointers how to compile and build EOS from source on a Rocky host? I think I should at lines 433-456 in

but if you could confirm that would be great.

Thanks,

George

Hi Gerge,

You have a step by step workflow here on how to build eos:
https://eos-docs.web.cern.ch/diopside/manual/develop.html

Indeed, the lines that you referenced are also a good start for compiling it yourself from source. Furthermore, you have the actual build steps in the eos.spec.in file at the top of EOS repository.

Cheers,
Elvin

Hi Elvin,

Thanks for this. Combining stuff from the yml and the eos-docs, I followed these steps which worked nicely and resulted in the generation of rpms.

Can you please confirm the options for the cmake3 step? It is mentioned that “To build EOS, you need gcc (>=7) with C++17 features and CMake installed on your system”. Even after specifying -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 for the generation of the srpm, I did see warnings during compilation (but none of which was fatal for compilation)

  • git clone dss / eos · GitLab

  • cd eos/

  • git checkout tags/4.8.103

  • git submodule sync --recursive && git submodule update --init -f --recursive

  • mkdir build; cd build

  • cmake3 …/ -DPACKAGEONLY=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -Wno-dev

  • make srpm

  • Create cat /etc/yum.repos.d/eos-depend.repo

[eos-depend]
name=EOS dependencies
baseurl=Index of /storage-ci/eos/citrine-depend/el-8/x86_64
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
priority=2

  • yum-builddep --nogpgcheck --setopt=“cern*.exclude=xrootd*” -y build/SRPMS/*

  • rpmbuild --rebuild --with server --define “_rpmdir build/RPMS/” --define “_build_name_fmt %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm” build/SRPMS/* | ts

Hi George,

Yes, all looks correct. The warnings that you see at compilation are expected.

Cheers,

Thanks Elvin. Managed, also to build EOS5 following the above procedure. I noticed the following

what is the difference between them (el-8 vs el-8s).

  • When I run the yum-builddep step, no xrootd packages (xrootd-lib, etc) were installed unlike the case of EOS4. Is this expected.

  • These are the rpms I generated. Does look like the full list to you?

Hi George,

The el-8s was aimed at CentosStream8 builds (which we won’t provide anymore) and the el-8 covers Alma/Rocky/RHEL8. What was the error that you were getting when using the el-8 one? This should work in principle.

Yes, in EOS 5 we rely only on eos-xrootd by default to build the eos packages so it’s normal.

The list of packages that you got is complete so everything looks fine from my point of view.

Cheers,
Elvin
