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 $outputDocdev is defined.
Currently devdoc consists of just man3 and gtk-doc.
'[[ ! -v "$propagatedOutputs" ]]' is incorrect and always evaluates to
true. The correct form using double brackets would be
'[[ ! -v propagatedOutputs ]]', but I strongly dislike '[[ ]]' due to
the totally different quoting rules compared to everything else in bash.
You can now pass
separateDebugInfo = true;
to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
Fixes#9044, close#9667. Thanks to @taku0 for suggesting this solution.
Now we have no modes starting with `/` or `+`.
Rewrite the `-perm` parameters of find:
- completely safe: rewrite `/0100` and `+100` to `-0100`,
- slightly semantics-changing: rewrite `+111` to `-0100`.
I cross-verified the `find` manual pages for Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD.
