continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Add a build argument `use64BitIdx`, and comment explaining how it
affects the build - it modifies the deps to make sure they are all
compatible with each other.
This is a better name since we have multiple 64-bit things that could
be referred to.
LP64 : integer=32, long=64, pointer=64
ILP64 : integer=64, long=64, pointer=64
This makes packages use lapack and blas, which can wrap different
BLAS/LAPACK implementations.
treewide: cleanup from blas/lapack changes
A few issues in the original treewide:
- can’t assume blas64 is a bool
- unused commented code
Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
makeinfo (provided by the texinfo package) is used by the "help"
command in Octave to display info about functions, etc. By default,
Octave looks for "makeinfo" in the PATH, rather than specifying the
location of the executable. This results in Nix not being aware that
makeinfo is required at runtime (so unless you happen have makeinfo
available from your path, "help" won't work).
This patch fixes that by setting the path to makeinfo in Octave,
thereby creating a runtime dependency on texinfo.
This change is required on darwin, but did not make it into the 4.2.1
release of Octave. It is a very small change, and a comment on the
patch includes a link for more information and a note that it should
be removed from subsequent releases.
This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.
This also:
- removes texLive (old), fixes #14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive
This follows on from PR #16965 for qrupdate and PR #16968 for fltk.
WIth these, the added explicit dependencies on arpack (to support
the octave `eigs` function) and `libwebp`, and not pulling X11 things,
octave works properly on darwin.
The expression inherits integer width from OpenBLAS, so Octave will use
64-bit integers if OpenBLAS supports it. However, this feature in Octave
is experimental, so we continue to use OpenBLAS with 32-bit integers by
default. (This only applies to the integer width, the pointer width is
always the platform-native width.)
