- Use the new Gambit support.
- Move files from $out to $out/gerbil.
- Use new Gerbil configuration and installation scripts.
- Move some fixups from preBuild to postPatch.
- Give up on previous failed attempts at using static libraries.
- Add support for compiling libraries written in Gerbil.
- Build using NIX_BUILD_CORES.
- Register all those things in all-packages.
Refactor the build rule:
- Put files in $out/gambit instead of $out.
- Make the optimization setting easy to override.
- Make use of gccStdenv more explicit at this level.
- Support new-style runtime options for forcing UTF-8 I/O.
- Override the PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING with git version.
- Note that the license is lgpl21, not lpgl2 (Note: also dual asl20).
- Try and fail to meaningfully add missing runtimeDeps.
- Build using NIX_BUILD_CORES.
@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
We've already worked around failing stat() calls in the installer by
running it in qemu-user. Turns out on some systems this workaround is
also needed to run `wlib', the archiver of the Open Watcom toolchain.
This issue manifested itself in broken VirtualBox builds due to
/build/virtualbox/out/linux.amd64/dbgopt/obj/VBoxPcBios32/pci32.obj
not being found by `wlib'.
We now just wrap all binaries in qemu-user to avoid this.
Everything is copied as-is from 9 (except version and hash).
Some platform-specific patches might not apply anymore;
I'm lazily leaving that for the community to fix.
The nss update is needed for security update of firefox.
For linux platforms only about 1k aarch64 rebuilds are missing;
the diff on Hydra looks OK. Darwin needs 20k more rebuilds,
but I don't think we want to wait for that.
