Introduction This directory contains two versions of Condor, the "beta test version", Condor_4.1.3b, and a previously released version called Condor_4.0. Please note that version 4.0 is quite old, and in particular will not compile on machines running SunOS4.1 or later. The beta test is an upgrade from earlier beta testing, and should have most of the bugs worked out, (we hope). Anyone who wishes may join the beta test. If you want more information about condor, you can contact us. The email address is "condor-request@cs.wisc.edu" or "uwisc!condor-request". You may also call me (Mike Litzkow) at (608) 262-6122. If you would like me to send hard copies of the current condor documents, let me know. Otherwise I'll just add you to the mailing list so you'll be informed when patches or new versions become available. A mailing list is available for discussion of issues related to Condor which may be of general interest. Mail sent to condor-world@cs.wisc.edu will be reposted to the entire list. To join (or unjoin) the list, send your request to condor-world-request@cs.wisc.edu Files Available: (Remember to set binary before fetching these files.) Condor_4.0.0.tar.Z This is a compressed tar file of the latest version of the source tree. You will need to fetch the file and "uncompress" it. Then you should run "tar -xf Condor_4.0.0.tar CONDOR/doc" to extract the documents. Some of the documents contain gremlin pictures, but the ditroff ready versions are retained in the source for those sites which do not run gremlin. If you are unable to print the documents, contact me for a hard copy. You should read at least the "Technical Summary", and "Installation Guide" before attempting to make the software. Condor_4.1.3b.tar.Z This is a beta test version of Condor 4.1. The platforms supported by version 4.1.3b are: Sun 4, (SPARC) machines running SunOS 4.1 and 4.1.1 DECstation 3100 and 5000 machines running Ultrix 4.2 IBM R6000 series machines running AIX3.1 Condor_4.1.hpsnake.alpha.tar.Z This is an alpha test version of Condor 4.1 for HP 700 series machines running HPUX 8.* The code is running in our local environment at Univ. of Wisc., but is largely untested. While this code has #ifdef's for other platforms, it is intended only for use on the HP's. Condor_4.1.irix.alpha.tar.Z This is an alpha test version of Condor 4.1 for Silicon Graphics machines running IRIX 4.* The code is running at two test sites, but we don't have machines to run it in our own department. While this code has #ifdef's for other platforms, it is intended only for use on the SGI's. Notes: 1. Please make a "condor" user and place a "CONDOR" directory in condor's home directory on your build machine. Extract the tar file there. 2. You will need to use "imake" in the build process. You should use the imake already on your system for this, don't build it from my source. I think you will find this in "/usr/bin/X11/imake". Imake will use "cpp" do part of its work. The particular version of cpp used can be altered by setting an environment variable called "IMAKECPP". The SGI supplied "cpp" is fine, so don't set this environment variable. The installation instructions tell you to set up an alias for "imake". Make sure you do that. 3. You will need to use a "make depend" program in the build process. Don't use the "makedepnd" supplied in the X distribution. Use the shell script in the CONDOR/GENERIC directory. You can do this by setting #define MkDepend $(TOP)/GENERIC/mdepend.sh in your "config/SGI_IRIX405.cf" file. 4. On SGI systems (and possibly others) you can use an environment variable (SHELL) to control which shell will be used by "make". The Condor Makefiles expect this to be the bourne shell "/bin/sh". Either "unsetenv" this variable or set it to /bin/sh during your Condor building.
