Previously configureFlags was defined as one giant interpolated string.
Here we refactor this definition to instead use the usual stdenv string
combinators. This seems more in-line with the average nixpkgs expression
and it seems a bit more natural to things of these as lists of flags
rather than monolithic strings.
One should do this when needed executables at run time. It is more
honest and cross-friendly than refering to binutils directly, if one
neeeds the default binary tools for the target platform, rather than
binutils in particular.
...just as we did for binutils. When the underlying issue is resolved
(probably with a configure script patch or lib/systems/parse.nix
change), this should be reverted.
Host everywhere would be guaranteed to preserve the old semantics,
but in a few places it doesn't matter in practice, target is used
instead for clarity.
See previous commit for what was done to `binutils` to make this
possible.
There were some uses of `forcedNativePackages` added. The
combination of overrides with that attribute is highly spooky: it's
often important that if an overridden package comes from it, the
replaced arguments for that package come from it. Long term this
package set and all the spookiness should be gone and irrelevant:
"Move along, nothing to see here!"
No hashes should be changed with this commit
The previous commit redefines `stdenv.cross` for the sake of normal
libaries, the most common use-case of that attribute. Some compilers
however relied on the old definition so we have them use
`targetPlatform` instead. This special casing is fine because we
eventually want to remove `stdenv.cross` and use either `hostPlatform`
or `targetPlatform` instead.
Darwin systems need to be able to find CoreFoundation headers as well as
libc headers. Somehow, gcc doesn't accept any "framework" parameters
that would normally be used to include CoreFoundation in this
situation.
HACK: Instead, this adds a derivation that combines the two. The result
works but probably not a good long term solution.
ALTERNATIVES: Maybe sending patches in to GCC to allow
"native-system-framework" configure flag to get this found.
gcc needs to be able find system headers. Without this, gcc fails to build because
/usr/include is not available.
Note: stdenv.libc should be available for all stdenv's, I think.
This should get gcc48, gcc5, and gcc6 working again.
Also: use makeLibraryPath, and makeSearchPathOutput for LIBRARY_PATH and
CPATH. This is a refactor but it also fixes an issue with zlib.
- disable bootstrap builds on Darwin
- remove xcrun calls
- check if patchelf is available before using
- apply darwin patch for gcc4.9
- fixes#16047
- fixes#14812
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
Attrnames and package names should be as close as possible to avoid confusion.
I took care not to confuse the two mpc things during the mass-replace,
so hopefully I suceeded (tarball still builds).
For now, we don't NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR because it breaks the
build. However, it points to Glibc in the Nix store (not /usr/include)
so it's kind of okay.
Even if using profiledbootstrap. This was unsafe before 4.8, and
then the documentation was not fixed on time.
The documentation got fixed here:
c763997f34
But the actual code was already fixed here:
5d2fca09d5
So this is safe both for GCC 4.8 and GCC 4.9.
Having a separate lib64 is bad because it requires special-casing in
lots of places.
Previously done in e4a11b4d92, which
apparently got lost going from 4.6 to 4.8.
Recent versions of Xcode don't install headers in /usr/include but
in a directory like
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include
So use that instead, falling back to /usr/include in case of an older
version of Xcode.
Somewhere the no-sys-dirs.patch got disabled, so gcc was looking in
/usr/local/include and /usr/lib. Since I can't fix the patch easily,
I've borrowed the --sysroot trick from clang-wrapper. This causes
builtin paths to be prefixed with /var/empty
(e.g. /var/empty/usr/lib), which don't exist.
This includes a lot of fixes for cross-building to Windows and Mac OS X
and could possibly fix things even for non-cross-builds, like for
example OpenSSL on Windows.
The main reason for merging this in 14.04 already is that we already
have runInWindowsVM in master and it doesn't work until we actually
cross-build Cygwin's setup binary as the upstream version is a fast
moving target which gets _overwritten_ on every new release.

On MinGW, we're passing these programs to the configure script, but this
obviously won't work for non-autoconf-based projects.

Both branches have quite a lot in common, so it's time for a merge and
do the cleanups with respect to both implementations and also generalize
both implementations as much as possible.
This also closes#1876.

Let's finally hook everything into the existing cross-building
infrastructure. We're using --with-sysroot instead of --with-headers
here, because the XCode SDK contains references to /usr/lib.
I've tried to patch those references, but unfortunately (at least with
install_name_tool) it isn't possible to change those refernces in stub
dylibs.
So after bugging @tpoechtrager with annoying questions (thanks again), I
think my initial approach (patching the SDK itself and/or regenerating
the dylib stubs) was way to complicated so I ended up with this
implementation.
Also, I've added a condition to binutilsCross to use cctools if the libc
is set to libSystem. This might need some cleanups someday, mainly to
figure out how to properly bridge cctools and binutils.
So, as an example on how to cross-compile GNU Hello to Darwin, you can
use something like this:
(import <nixpkgs> {
crossSystem = {
config = "x86_64-apple-darwin13";
arch = "x86_64";
libc = "libSystem";
platform = {};
};
}).hello.crossDrv

Mingw(32) is rather poorly maintaned and has quite a lot of bugs. And
because our Windows cross builds were also poorly maintained and most of
the cross-tests were broken as well, I'm just taking this step and try
to switch to mingw-w64 for everything "cross Windows".
