This is required for Aarch64 since a lot of source tarballs ship with
outdated configure scripts that don't recognize aarch64. Simply
replacing the config.guess and config.sub with new versions from
upstream makes them build again.
This same approach is used by at least Buildroot and Fedora. In
principle this could be enabled for all architectures but
conditionalizing this on aarch64 avoids a mass rebuild on x86.
I believe this reduces surprises and is actually simpler semantically.
This is important e.g. for relative symlinks when moving both source
and target - now the order of moving won't matter.
Fixes #20723 (a particular instance of the surprise).
extraFlagsArray should not be exposed outside of `makeWrapper`, it
should only be possible to set it inside a script supplied via the
`--run` argument.
They now go to devman, devdoc, or $outputMan, in that order. This is
to prevent cases such as the man-pages package quietly losing its
section 3 pages.
Prior to this commit, trailing whitespace would be introduced when
modifying '#!' lines with no arguments. For example (whitespace added):
/nix/store/.../foo: interpreter directive changed
from "/bin/bash"
to "/nix/store/...-bash-4.3-p42/bin/bash "
/nix/store/.../bar: interpreter directive changed
from "/bin/baz wef"
to "/nix/store/...-baz wef "
We add a sed command to strip trailing whitespace, so the above commands
would drop the two spaces after "bash", or the one space after "baz wef".
abbradar: fixed commit title
Closes #16785.
The tests need to expand passed variable and very carefully.
I could see no other easy way than to change single-quoting in
makeWrapper to double-quoting.
The tests now fail with the same problem as on master...
find fails when called with an inexistent search path.
That situation may arise when the output is created after by a postFixup hook.
vcunat amended the PR by clarifying one more `return` to `return 0`.
There are no users of it in main tree and recent merge
of multiple outputs branch makes it obsolete for private trees
too.
At the time hook was created, recently merged multiple output
branch was relying on passing flags to autotools to split
outputs, which obviously wasn't working for other build systems
Scatter output was taking different approach where files were
moved out from a build tree based on known paths, which is more
or less what current multiple-outputs.sh hook is able to do too.
For every *.{exe,dll} in $output/bin/ we try to find all (potential)
transitive dependencies and symlink those DLLs into $output/bin
so they are found on invocation.
(DLLs are first searched in the directory of the running exe file.)
The links are relative, so relocating whole /nix/store won't break them.
The hook is activated on cygwin and when cross-compiling to mingw.
- the default --docdir is typically DATAROOTDIR/doc/pkgName
- I saw no other way than to employ some magic to guess this `pkgName`
- user can override it by setting $shareDocName
The importance of glibc makes it worthwhile to provide debug
symbols. However, this revealed an issue with separateDebugInfo: it
was indiscriminately adding --build-id to all ld invocations, while in
fact it should only do that for final links. Glibc also uses non-final
("relocatable") links, leading to subsequent failure to apply a build
ID ("Cannot create .note.gnu.build-id section, --build-id
ignored"). So now ld-wrapper.sh only passes --build-id for final
links.
In some cases the $sourceRoot is missing. Skip the hook instead
of showing the following cryptic error:
find: cannot search `': No such file or directory
/nix/store/0p1afvl8jcpi6dvsq2n58i90w9c59vz1-set-source-date-epoch-to-latest.sh: line 12: [: : integer expression expected
vcunat removed the warning; the hook will just skip silently in these cases.
Perhaps someone can improve on it some time.
For instance, a binary like libfoo.so will cause a symlink
lib/debug/libfoo.so.debug -> .build-id/<build-ID>.debug to be
created. This is primarily useful for use with eu-addr2line, if you
know the name of a binary and the relative address, but not the build
ID.
- fix in silencing some moveToOutput messages
- allow removing (developer) documentation even without defining outputs
(note: some paths are auto-removed by default, e.g. gtk-doc and man3)
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.
Now any developer docs are removed by default, unless "docdev"
is in $outputs or $outputDocdev is defined.
Currently devdoc consists of just man3 and gtk-doc.
