The old "csources" repo has been archived a while ago and a newer
csources_v1 repo has been published. The main advantage is that we now
have support for newer platorms (such as Apple M1's) and newer nim
versions in the bootstrap.
The new repository doesn't contain release tags thus I pinned it to the
latest revision that has been published.
isPowerPC is only true on 32 bit machines;
to check the family we should use isPower here
Otherwise, e.g. `pkgsCross.powernv.buildPackages.nim` fails to eval with
`error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'no Nim CPU support known for powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu'`
* Import with callPackages
* Use buildPackages for building a cross-compiler
* Patch-out potential conflicts in nim.cfg
* Generate a configuration with toolchain detection
* Build with strictDeps enabled
- link sqlite (needed for the the stdlib sqlite module)
- update nodejs to 11.x
- use default phase order (fixes linker errors during test phase)
- substitution in ./test/async/tioselectors.nim not needed anymore
- two more tests need to be disabled
- LD=$CC workaround not needed anymore
- disable unsupported tests on aarch64
- trigger pre and post hooks
- use checkInputs instead of nativeBuildInputs
- don't override patchPhase
- remove sqlite as dependency (I don't see why it's needed)
- run checkPhase after installPhase (at least one test assumes the
standard library in ../lib relative to the nim binary)
- the broken tests pass now or don't exist anymore
- two of the tests requiring network access pass now without network access
- the tests in manyloc do not download dependencies and are passing now
* Nim 0.17.2 -> 0.18.0
* Add missing dependencies for Nim 0.18.0
Solved GC and SFML-related test failures.
Attempting to download nimble packages.
* Fix tzdata test
* Fix tworkingdir test
* Replace outdated nodejs
* Disable non-runnable tests
This PR makes a few changes to how things are done:
a) build and install "koch" - the nim make-type tool
b) use "koch" to bootstrap nim
c) build additional supporting tools such as nimble, nimgrep and nimsuggest
d) nim can use other c compilers than gcc, so instead of forcing gcc we use the one from stdenv
e) run the full test suite
We do not need the "nimble" package any longer as it is part of nim.
