The $lib output refers to the terminfo database in $out, which is about
10x larger than the ncurses shared library. Splitting these outputs
saves a small amount of space for any derivations that use the terminfo
database but not the ncurses library, but we do not have evidence that
any such exist.
Otherwise, when building glibc and other packages, the "strip" from
bootstrapTools is used, which doesn't recognise some tags produced by
the newer "ld" from binutils.
I assume there's not much use for it during bootstrapping.
This fixes them as well, as curl was compiled against libnghttp2 but the
lib wasn't copied to the bootstrap tools.
Fixes#12632.
I think it's better to quote this variable in general, because it is
common and even documented to pass space-separated commands in there.
The greps should just fail in that case and `if` won't proceed
which seems fine for such cases, and it's certainly better than
passing additional unintended parameters to grep
(which was happening all the time before).
Doing it in an openssl setup hook only works if packages have openssl
as a build input - it doesn't work if they're using a program linked
against openssl.
Commit 6d928ab684 changed this to not
preserve timestamps. However, that results in non-determinism; in
particular, it gives us a broken $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (especially for
everything using fetchFromGitHub). Builds affected by timestamps <
1980 should be fixed in some other way (e.g. changing the timestamp to
some fixed date > 1980).
The ld-wrapper.sh script calls `readlink` in some circumstances. We need
to ensure that this is the `readlink` from the `coreutils` package so
that flag support is as expected.
This is accomplished by explicitly setting PATH at the top of each shell
script.
Without doing this, the following happens with a trivial `main.c`:
```
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA pkgs.clang
$ clang main.c -L /nix/../nix/store/2ankvagznq062x1gifpxwkk7fp3xwy63-xnu-2422.115.4/Library -o a.out
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
```
The key element is the `..` in the path supplied to the linker via a
`-L` flag. With this patch, the above invocation works correctly on
darwin, whose native `/usr/bin/readlink` does not support the `-f` flag.
The explicit path also ensures that the `grep` called by `cc-wrapper.sh`
is the one from Nix.
Fixes#6447
This is used by some build tools to provide reproducible builds. See
https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for more info.
Later, we'll want to set this to a more intelligent value (such as the
most recent mtime of any source file).
So far if no configure script is found or no makefile,
the rest of the phase is skipped, *including* post-hooks.
I find that behavior unexpected/unintuitive.
Earlier version of this patch had problems due to me assuming
that $configureScript is always a simple path, but that turned out
to be false in many cases, e.g. perl.
This un-hardcodes the bootstrap tools passed into the Darwin stdenv and
thus allows us to quickly iterate on improving the design of the full
bootstrap process. We can easily change the contents of the bootstrap
tools and evaluate an entire bootstrap all the way up to real packages.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
You can now pass
separateDebugInfo = true;
to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
Otherwise this fails on ARM:

Several places in the tree associate the ARMv7 system
with the beaglebone platform. Change them to point to
armv7l-hf-multiplatform as it supports several boards (including the
beaglebone as well)
Now development stuff is propagated from the first output,
and userEnvPkgs from the one with binaries.
Also don't move *.la files (yet). It causes problems, and they're small.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
Attrnames and package names should be as close as possible to avoid confusion.
I took care not to confuse the two mpc things during the mass-replace,
so hopefully I suceeded (tarball still builds).
Conflicts (simple):
pkgs/os-specific/linux/util-linux/default.nix
It seems this merge creates a new stdenv hash,
because we had changes on both branches :-/
- IMO using a temporary is not needed here (anymore),
- temporary at that location can cause a problem (in a specific case):
for example, when using the substituteAll function from nixpkgs
on a single file directly under /nix/store/ (or ./foo-file),
the stdenv's substitute tries to create a temporary directly under
/nix/store, which causes problems on chrooted darwin
(according to @copumpkin earlier today on IRC)
The old boot.spl.hostid option was not working correctly due to an
upstream bug.
Instead, now we will create the /etc/hostid file so that all applications
(including the ZFS kernel modules, ZFS user-space applications and other
unrelated programs) pick-up the same system-wide host id. Note that glibc
(and by extension, the `hostid` program) also respect the host id configured in
/etc/hostid, if it exists.
The hostid option is now mandatory when using ZFS because otherwise, ZFS will
require you to force-import your ZFS pools if you want to use them, which is
undesirable because it disables some of the checks that ZFS does to make sure it
is safe to import a ZFS pool.
The /etc/hostid file must also exist when booting the initrd, before the SPL
kernel module is loaded, so that ZFS picks up the hostid correctly.
The complexity in creating the /etc/hostid file is due to having to
write the host ID as a 32-bit binary value, taking into account the
endianness of the machine, while using only shell commands and/or simple
utilities (to avoid exploding the size of the initrd).
Getting the names of all environment variables is tricky. The previous
implementation easily got confused by multi-line variables. The new
one is more reliable but not still not perfect.
This works around a segfault in Bash 4.3, where the expression
"${!var}" (where var="-9") crashes under certain conditions.

Otherwise, stdenv won't have a reference to e.g. patchelf on Linux
(because it was passed in by mkDerivation). This causes the installer
tests to fail, because having "stdenv" in the installation CD closure
is not enough to pull in all stdenv packages.

This allows licenses like the Amazon Software License to be identified
properly while still preventing packages with those licenses from
being distributed in the Nixpkgs/NixOS channels.
This makes stuff build with Xcode 6.1 on Mac OS X 10.9 (where we got
errors like "ld: file not found:
/usr/lib/system/libsystem_coreservices.dylib for architecture x86_64" due to the use of the 10.10 SDK).
The static curl program is gone, replaced by curl inside of the
bootstrap tools tarball. Also, we generate a .tar.xz archive rather
than .cpio.bz2, making the download smaller. The separate
{sh,cpio,mkdir,ln,bzip2} programs have been replaced by a single
busybox program.
In 3.3, a C++ class defined in a header will get a typeinfo symbol
like this (e.g. in Nix's src/libutil/util.o):
(__DATA,__datacoal_nt) weak external typeinfo for nix::BaseError
But in 3.4, this has changed to:
(__DATA,__datacoal_nt) weak external automatically hidden typeinfo for nix::BaseError
This causes the linker to change the symbol to:
(__DATA,__data) non-external (was signed char private external) typeinfo for nix::BaseError
i.e. losing its weak linkage. But without weak linkage, dynamic_cast
and other RTTI-based mechanisms (such as catching an exception of a
certain type) don't work across shared libraries / executables.
The clang compiler in the SDK doesn't have this behaviour, but it's
not clear exactly which version it is (it just says "based on LLVM
3.4svn").
This should fix the OpenJDK build, which was failing because paxctl is
in sbin and therefore not automatically added to $PATH.

Copying /usr/lib/system/libunwind.dylib at evaluation time doesn't
work (e.g. on Hydra). And copying binary system libraries is a bad
idea anyway for license reasons.
Make thread disabling explicit. This changes the semantics of the perl
derivation, so on other platforms it may require setting
enableThreading = false
This commit doesn't change the derivation or out hash of stdenvLinux.
The stage3.extraAttrs.glibc argument was required for this whole build
procedure to correctly work and it was very-very hard to see why (the
comment said something about gcc47, but we're using gcc48 now).
This stage3.extraAttrs.glibc goes into stage3.stdenv.glibc after some
arg passing, and in pkgs/development/compiler/gcc an (stdenv ? glibc)
boolean expression decides to override /usr/include during the GCC
build.
All of our stages are built with glibc, so this refactoring moves this
repeating specification of glibc (once for gcc wrapper and once here for
extraAttrs) to stageFun, by getting rid of wrapGCC, as we were using
that in all of the stages anyways.
Incidentally it turned out, that this stdenv.glibc inconsistency caused
some random other stuff to behave differently:
- stage1.pkgs.perl has threading disabled,
- stage4.pkgs.coreutils (the production coreutils) has testing disabled.
Leave this historical accidents as they are in this commit, so the scope
of this commit can stay as a refactoring only, these issues will be
fixed in separate commits.
This commit doesn't change the derivation or the output hash of
stdenvLinux.
