This change brings development feedback loop improvement
from a couple of ghc rebuilds to only one for working on generic
builder.
To completely eliminate the rebuilds, use two nixpkgs clones
and point boot packages to the unmodified one.
- Patch all executables and libraries, while skipping scripts. Base at
least uses libiconv, so should need this too---I suspect it wasn't a
problem before as we got away with the immpurity.
- Rather than hardcoding the symlinks to add, do one per mach-o as
needed
TEMP no -L no script
The newer to-be-added binaries have relative RPATHs that we'll break if
we try to `patchelf` before installation. We instead us LD_LOAD_LIBRARY
during the installation, which avoids needing to change the RPATH
temporarily.
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.
This reverts commit dfb0f25484, reversing
changes made to 7f8ff02437. These changes broke
the ghcWithPackages wrapper:
nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: [ps.mtl])" --run "ghc-pkg list mtl"
/nix/store/szz84j5k1dy3jdashis6ws28d8l8zxxb-ghc-8.0.2-with-packages/lib/ghc-8.0.2/package.conf.d
(no packages)
The build calls ar(1) in a way the tool doesn't like:
ar q cru .libs/libffi.a src/debug.o src/prep_cif.o src/types.o src/raw_api.o src/java_raw_api.o src/closures.o src/x86/ffi64.o src/x86/unix64.o src/x86/ffi.o src/x86/sysv.o
ar: creating cru
ar: .libs/libffi.a: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [Makefile:717: libffi.la] Error 1
This may have become an issue after some recent binutils update; I'm not sure.
If you want to override the source but the major version changes (ie 8.1
-> 8.3) then you also have to modify the version. Otherwise the build
will fail with difficult to understand errors, making version a
parameter makes it easy to override.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
It would otherwise result into undefined referenecs for some functions
in the base when using the gold linker:
error: undefined reference to 'sqrt'
Fixes https://github.com/bos/double-conversion/pull/17
Previously ghc option -optl=-lm was used for packages depending on
such functions, but that could result into
fatal error: cannot mix -r with dynamic object /nix/store/7crrmih8c52r8fbnqb933dxrsp44md93-glibc-2.25/lib/libm.so.6
in some situations like profiling builds.
Patch was prepared by Michael Bishop and Niklas Hambüchen.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27584.
