There is no more `cygwin` OS, but instead a `cygnus` abi. "win32"
and "mingw32" parse as `windows`. Add a 3-part hack because autotools
breaks on explicit abi with windows-like (e.g. "i686-pc-windows-gnu").

I removed cortex it is rather unmaintained. The last update (as of
writing) was 8 months ago, there was no release ever.
For a better alternative, have a look at `rtv`.
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!"

Use `buildPackages.binutils` to get build = host != target binutils,
i.e. the old `binutilsCross`, and use
`buildPackages.buildPackages.binutils` to get build = host = target
binutils, i.e. the old `binutils`.
`buildPackages` chains like this are supposed to remove the need for
all such `*Cross` derivations. We start with binutils because it's
comparatively easy.
No hashes of cross-tests should be changed
stdenv.cross is a silly attribute that needs to go leaving the well-defined hostPlatform and targetPlatform. This PR doesn't remove it, but changes its definition: before it tracked the target platform which is sometimes more useful for compilers, and now it tracks the host platform which is more useful for everything else. Most usages are libraries, falling in the "everything else" category, so changing the definition makes sense to appease the majority. The few compiler (gcc in particular) uses that exist I remove to use targetPlatform --- preserving correctness and becoming more explicit in the process.
I would also update the documentation aside mentioning stdenv.cross as deprecated, but the definition given actually erroneously assumes this PR is already merged!
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.
In practice, this is a strictly stronger condition than target != build
as we never have build = target != host. Really, the attribute should
be removed altogether, but for now we make it work for plain libraries,
which do not care about the target platform. In the few cases where the
compilers use this and actually care about the target platform, I'll
manually change them to use `targetPlatform` instead.
- `ccWrapperFun` can be used in a few more places instead of
duplicating its definition.
- `ccWrapper` parameter on `wrapCC` is always substituted with
`ccWrapperFun` so just get rid of that parameter.
It’s easier to manage these in one folder.
Affected folders from pkgs/development/libraries/:
- wxGTK-2.8
- wxGTK-2.9
- wxGTK-3.0
- wxmac
These will all go into pkgs/development/libraries/wxwidgets for now.
Each bootstrapping stage ought to just depend on the previous stage, but
poorly-written compilers break this elegence. This provides an easy-enough
way to depend on the next stage: targetPackages. PLEASE DO NOT USE IT
UNLESS YOU MUST!
I'm hoping someday in a pleasant future I can revert this commit :)
- `pkgs` is self-similar, and thus already spliced
- `buildPackages` is an ingredient of splicing and should be kept as is
- The platforms are not packages or package sets and couldn't be spliced
There's probably other things that shouldn't be spliced too. The best long-
term solution is simply to stop splicing altogether.
3.14 is no longer supported upstream by kernel.org and thus no longer
receives security patches. The git commit mentioned in this .nix isn't
even available in the linked repository --
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel -- so I
think this .nix might be dead anyway. Finally, it specifies 3.14.0,
which is so ridiculously old (the latest was 3.14.79) that nobody
develops for it.

This basically does something similar than the AUR build:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vlc-qt5/
On our side, all there is to do is to force compiling using C++11 mode
and use a patch that the AUR package took from the following upstream
patchwork URL:
https://patches.videolan.org/patch/14061/
Instead of passing CXXFLAGS to the configure script, I'm using sed here
to make sure we don't override flags figured out by configure.
For example if ./configure is used with CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 appended or
prepended, we have something like:
... -I../include -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare ...
While if we don't do that at all, we have something like:
... -I../include -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare ...
Another way would be to use NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE, but that would affect
even compilation of C code and thus resulting in a bunch of warnings
like this:
cc1: warning: command line option '-std=c++11' is valid for C++/ObjC++
but not for C
So with our approach the flags during build look much better:
... -I../include -std=c++11 -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare ...
Another thing I've changed is that the vlc_qt5 attribute in
all-packages.nix now uses the latest Qt 5 version, because the build for
Qt >= 5.7.0 is now no longer broken.
I've also ordered the preConfigure attribute before the configureFlags
attribute, because it makes more sense in terms of context (pre ->
configure -> post).
Tested by building on x86_64-linux with libsForQt56.vlc, libsForQt58.vlc
and vlc (the Qt 4 version, just to be sure I didn't accidentally break
it).

The old hard-coded lists are now used to test system parsing.
In the process, make an `assertTrue` in release lib for eval tests; also
use it in release-cross

This allows customizing the nixpkgs arguments by the caller. My use case
is creating a personal nixpkgs channel containing some unfree packages.
The default is still to not build unfree packages, so for nixpkgs this
is no functional change.
The test failure started happening with commit
8d18f67a97 ("awscli: 1.11.45 -> 1.11.75"). That commit
also updates botocore, a dependency of boto3.
This unbreaks 'nixops' (a dependee).
Tesseract 4 has got a new long short-term memory neural networking based
OCR engine which really helps a lot in terms of accuracy and our VM
tests.
I ran the new version across a bunch of different screenshots and
comparing the results to the 3.x branch and it really makes a big
difference, especially with various font rendering settings.
The only downside of this is that version 4 hasn't been released yet and
is in alpha state right now, but it will eventually get there and the
only solutions that came into my mind sticking to version 3 were really
sub-par:
* Use several passes with different color negation on the screenshots.
* Train Tesseract 3 specifically for screenshots. This is sub-par
because we'd need to do it for Tesseract 4 from scratch again.
* Change the test systems so that it specifically uses *only* OCR an
font when displaying. I've actually tried this but this also isn't
accurate enough with our default font rendering setup.
* Turn off special font rendering settings for our tests. In
conjunction with changing to an OCR font this might work but it won't
catch all the cases, because applications might use their own font
rendering.
Given that version 4 is faster[1] when it comes to OCR detection and also
the points just mentioned I think even using the alpha version just for
tests isn't going to hurt anybody.

This is from the commit message I've written for the upstream pull
request (jflesch/pyocr#62):
This is a bit more involved, because Tesseract 3.05.00 comes not
only with improvements but also with a few quirks we need to deal
with.
The first quirk is that the order arguments of the `tesseract'
command now matters and the list of configurations has to be at the
end of the command line. So we add a new attribute tesseract_flags
to the BaseBuilder class that contains a list of all the flags to
pass to `tesseract', the tesseract_configs attribute however remains
pretty much the same but now only really contains a list of configs
instead of being mixed with flag arguments.
Another quirk has to do with Leptonica >= 1.74 which Tesseract
3.05.00 now requires. Leptonica has special handling of files that
reside in /tmp and assumes that it's an internal temporary file of
Leptonica. In order to deal with it, we now run Tesseract in a
temporary directory, which contains the input/output files and use
the relative name of these files because Leptonica only searches for
path names beginning with /tmp.
Fortunately the last item we need to address is not really a quirk,
but an API change. In Tesseract 3.05.00 there is now a new function
called TessBaseAPIDetectOrientationScript(), which doesn't fill the
OSResults object anymore but now allows to pass the values we're
interested in directly by reference. We need to use this new
function because the old function TessBaseAPIDetectOS() now *always*
returns false.
I've tested this specifically on NixOS and in conjunction with Paperwork
(the only package that's using pyocr so far) and all the tests of the
dependency chain are now succeeding. However, I didn't do manual tests
of Paperwork though.

Upstream changes for version 0.4.5:
* Clean up exceptions raised when OCR fails:
* Now, all tools raise only exceptions inheriting from
pyocr.PyocrException
* There is now one and only one TesseractError (shared between
pyocr.libtesseract and pyocr.tesseract)
Upstream changes for version 0.4.6:
* hOCR outputs: Generate valid XHTML files
The full upstream changelog can be found at:
https://github.com/jflesch/pyocr/blob/master/ChangeLog
Note that because of the version bump of Tesseract neither version 0.4.4
nor version 0.4.6 succeed to build, so we need to fix this up soon.

The changes are a bit too big to include it here in the commit message,
so if you want the details of what changed, please visit this URL:
http://leptonica.org/source/version-notes.html
I have also provided openjpeg, giflib and libwebp as dependencies so
that Leptonica is able to read/write those file formats.
Additionally I've added a patch that uses pkgconfig to resolve all
dependencies (except giflib), because unlike AC_CHECK_LIB() the
PKG_CHECK_MODULES() macro defines *_LIBS variables to include the linker
search path.
Unfortunately that patch alone is not enough, because the *_LIBS
variable are substituted by the upstream configure.ac to *not* include
the linker search paths, so we need to remove the AC_SUBST() calls
within PKG_CHECK_MODULES().
The only dependency that's not yet using PKG_CHECK_MODULES() is giflib,
because giflib doesn't have a pkg-config description file, therefore
we're using substituteInPlace to insert the linker search path after the
lept.pc file was generated by configure.
Another thing that we no longer need is the dependency on libpng version
1.2, because Leptonica now also works with more recent libpng versions.
Tested by building the package itself and also the following packages
that immediately depend on leptonica:
* k2pdfopt
* tesseract
* jbig2enc
All of these packages succeeded to build on x86_64-linux.
The main reason why I'm bumping Leptonica to version 1.74.1 is that we
need at least version 1.74 to bump Tesseract to the latest upstream
version.

There are a few dozen new failures on Darwin, probably related to
updates of stdenv's llvm and/or pkgconfig.
Still the total number of successes increases.
Including apple_sdk.sdk is generally a recipe for a bad time on LLVM 3.8
and above, since you end up with bad headers in the wrong place that hurt
the new libc++ in 3.8 and above. In this case, qt only wanted the super-
generic SDK for CUPS headers, which we can just depend on directly now.
