Currently autobuild failed to build in both master and release-16.03. The
error message is
mv: cannot stat '/nix/store/a4jzlkrhd4b4nr5760caj3rrjxhyg4z3-autobuild-5.3/bin/abput-sourceforge': No such file or directory
builder for ‘/nix/store/l19vywq8zvbarswby5h7vl4iq1c1pvq7-autobuild-5.3.drv’ failed with exit code 1
It happens in post install script
postInstall = ''
wrapProgram $out/bin/ab{put,build}-sourceforge \
--prefix PATH ":" "${stdenv.lib.makeBinPath [ openssh rsync ]}"
'';
The problem is that in autobuild 5.0 the ab{put,build}-sourceforge were removed
* Version 5.0 (released 2008-11-25)
...
** abput, abput-sourceforge, abput-testdrive: Remove.
** abbuild, abbuild-sourceforge: Remove.
Both the SourceForge and TestDrive systems have been shutdown. The
scripts were of questionable value anyway.
Possibly the bug was introduced in commit
8c4fcc87f8320004e924f53bbaee29ae3b7b4692: autobuild: 3.5 -> 5.3.
As the package doesn't contain these programs there is no need in wrapping
them. This commit just remove the postInstall section of corresponding
package.
Fixes this:
$ echo establish_context | gpshell
establish_context
establish_context failed with error 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (libgppcscconnectionplugin.so.1.0.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Have to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of patchelf, because it's
libglobalplatform.so.6 (from globalplatform package) that needs
libgppcscconnectionplugin.so.1.0.1, not gpshell itself. And because
RPATH doesn't "propagate" from one ELF to another, the library isn't
found. One can argue that globalplatform should depend on
gppcscconnectionplugin, but it touches on the still-unsolved "plugin"
issue in Nix packaging, so leaving that alone.
