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 ?

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
