Prior to this commit, builds of `pkgsCross.*.gpsd` were failing.
`gpsd` expects `CCVERSION` to be set, and fails if it is not set.
Scons does not guarantee that `CCVERSION` will be set, nor does it
specify under what circumstances it will or will not be set: "This may
or may not be set, depending on the specific C compiler being used."
https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-man.html#cv-CCVERSION
Apparently cross-compilation triggers one of those unspecified
circumstances. There are several bug reports to scons relating to
this:
https://github.com/SCons/scons/issues/1723https://github.com/SCons/scons/issues?q=is%3Aissue+ccversion+is%3Aclosed
`gpsd` does not use `CCVERSION` for any purpose other than printing a
log message at the start of the build:
d055863603
This commit modifies the log message, replacing `env['CCVERSION']`
with `env['CC']`, since `CC` is always set when using nixpkgs'
standard builder.
With this commit, `pkgsCross.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.gpsd` and
`pkgsCross.powernv.gpsd` build correctly on x86_64. Prior to this
commit, they would fail with:
```

The `rm $out/bin/xgps*` command fails because that file is not there in the first place. Let's change it to `rm -f $out/bin/xgps*` so we can build with `guiSupport=false`.
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces
Fixes this when building with nix.useChroot = true in configuration.nix:
sh: ./test_maidenhead.py: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
scons: *** [maidenhead-locator-regress] Error 126
scons: building terminated because of errors.
* Don't repeat package name in description
* longDescription re-copied from homepage (gpsd now supports AIS...)
* The homepage has moved
* Add platforms and maintainers
Build system is changed, gpsd uses scons now.
The expressions needs some more work, TODO comments added. (xgps didn't
work before this change either.)
I added an option for the gpsd group, which is set to upstream default:
"dialout". Note that our default gpsd user is "gpsd", while upstream
uses "nobody" by default.
This update broke gpsd because the download url changed and trying to
get version 3.10 from the old url returns an error document with a
timestamp resulting in new hashes on every build.
And more importantly, gpsd 3.10 switched to the scons build system, so
even if the download url was correct it will fail to build until the
expression is updated.
This reverts commit 3f1c26b825.
