iRODS Connector

Installing the iRODS Connector from source

It is no longer necessary to build the iRODS connector package from source, but these instructions may be useful for testing or building pre-release updates when prompted to do so by Globus Support.

Ensure the Globus Connect Server package repositories are enabled before continuing.

Install the build dependencies:

# install iRODS package repository
sudo rpm --import https://packages.irods.org/irods-signing-key.asc
curl -s https://packages.irods.org/renci-irods.yum.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/renci-irods.yum.repo
# install iRODS packages and build dependencies
sudo yum install \
    irods-devel irods-icommands 'irods-externals*' \
    git gcc-c++ \
    globus-connect-gridftp-server-devel globus-gridmap-callout-error-devel

# install iRODS package repository
curl -s https://packages.irods.org/irods-signing-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.irods.org/apt/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/renci-irods.list
sudo apt-get update
# install iRODS packages and build dependencies
sudo apt-get install \
    irods-dev irods-icommands 'irods-externals*' \
    git dpkg-dev cdbs g++ \
    libglobus-gridftp-server-dev libglobus-gridmap-callout-error-dev

Clone the source repository into the current directory:

git clone https://github.com/irods/irods_client_globus_connector
cd irods_client_globus_connector

Create the installation directory:

sudo mkdir /opt/iRODS_DSI
export IRODS_DSI=/opt/iRODS_DSI

Set some environment variables that are used by the build process and the PATH so that the correct version of cmake will be found:

export PATH=/opt/irods-externals/cmake3.11.4-0/bin:$PATH
export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr
export IRODS_PATH=/usr
export DEST_LIB_DIR=$IRODS_DSI
export DEST_BIN_DIR=$IRODS_DSI
export DEST_ETC_DIR=$IRODS_DSI
export IRODS_EXTERNALS_PATH=/opt/irods-externals
export IRODS_42_COMPAT=true

Now build and install the iRODS DSI:

cmake .
make
sudo make install

Add the install directory to the library search path:

echo \$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $IRODS_DSI | sudo tee /etc/gridftp.d/irods
sudo systemctl restart globus-gridftp-server

The package installation is complete.
