Re: [Condor-users] 'simple' c++ program

["Kewley, J (John)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

Executable gets transferred by default.
In this case, prog.bat is the executable so no need to Xfer.
If you make prog.exe the executable and do away with prog.bat,
then you can (should?) remove it from the transfer_input_files list.

Of course, if you do away with prog.bat, you lose the chance of extra
debug info telling you what is happening (or not as in this case)

Other thoughts:

* It is usual (recommended?) to have one per job cluster, not one per job.
  you are only queuing one job so it shouldn't make much difference.
* Does the error file get its timestamp updated after running the job?

Stephen,

Do you need to run from the batch file?

Try just having 

Executable=prog.exe

with the arguments as given.

i.e., the KISS principle.

 

But, then again, if running from the batch file, do you need to transfer the
file prog.bat also? I'm a bit rusty.

 

Cheers,

Phil

Hi All,

 

Nope, that didn't work. Compiled with Gnu C++ as a standalone executable.
Other ideas?

 

thanx

Hi Alan,

 

No, I don't think it was complied with cygwin g++. I'll check into that. I
don't see an 'objdump' command either (under cygwin. ?)

 

thanx - you gave me someplace else to look, though

Hey Steve,

How was prog.exe compiled? If it was compiled with cygwin g++ it probably
calls the Cygwin DLL (you can check with 

objdump -p prog.exe | grep "DLL Name"

to see all DLLs it uses). This DLL is probably not necessarily available on
the execute machine. A quick fix would be to just transfer the cygwin1.dll
(or any other unavailable, but required, DLLs) with the executable.

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a simple c++ program. I'm using version 6.8.1 (I
know - I need to upgrade!) on a windows xp cluster. However, I'm
submitting my job from a cygwin prompt. It appears to run since I get
output from my echo statements in the .bat file that I use to call 
the c++ program. Here's the submit:

*****
Executable      = prog.bat
requirements = OpSys == "WINNT50" || OpSys == "WINNT51"
getenv = true
Universe        = vanilla
Error           = Output/err.$(process) 
Output          = Output/out.$(process)
Log             = Output/log.$(process)

Should_Transfer_files = YES
When_To_Transfer_Output = ON_EXIT

transfer_input_files = prog.exe, R2.txt, initialnodes.txt ,
nodearccosts.txt, nodepcm.txt, S10solutionfile.txt
Arguments = 44 20 33750 12825 R2.txt
Queue

***
and here's prog.bat

echo running prog.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
prog %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
echo done 
****

I suspect it has something to do with prog.exe but not sure where to
look. I don't have access to the source code, but have access to the
programmer. ;-)

I've seen various other emails that are similar, e.g., running
Fortran programs, and I think I've covered the bases, but still feel
I'm missing something easy.


thanx
