[Halld-offline] Rocky Linux build for gluex at JLab

[Mark Ito]

Folks,

Along the lines of our discussion at the last Software Meeting, I've 
done a complete build of the GlueX software under Rocky Linux at JLab. 
Recall that Peter did this as well at Glasgow. Regarding the JLab build:

  * The build is under
    /group/halld/Software/builds/Linux_Rocky8-x86_64-gcc8.5.0-cntr .
  * There is a singularity container that will work with this build:
    /group/halld/www/halldweb/html/dist/gluex_rockylinux-8.6.20220707_sng1.1_gxi2.31.sif
    .
  * On the ifarm, you can invoke the container as follows (bash shell):
      o container=/group/halld/www/halldweb/html/dist/gluex_rockylinux-8.6.20220707_sng1.1_gxi2.31.sif
      o singularity exec --cleanenv --bind /group/halld --bind $HOME
        --bind /work/halld  --bind /volatile/halld --bind /cache/halld
        $container bash
  * After that, to set up your environment inside the container, you do
    the usual thing:
      o source /group/halld/Software/build_scripts/gluex_env_boot_jlab.sh
      o gxenv

The "gluex shell" that Peter described at the meeting has not been 
incorporated into the container...yet. The build is not available via 
CVMFS at present.

This is for early adopters and also serves as demo of where we might be 
going.
