It's expected that attributes in the top-level package set will all use
that package set, but this wasn't the case for the bootstrap tools.
This led some very confusing behaviour:
- pkgsMusl.stdenvBootstrapTools would build glibc bootstrap tools
- stdenvBootstrapTools was _always_ cross compiled, even if
Nixpkgs wasn't, because it always set crossSystem. This also didn't
match the behaviour of using make-bootstrap-tools.nix as an
entrypoint, where crossSystem would default to null.
For the Linux stdenv, I've made the ideal fix, which is to make pkgs an
argument rather than taking the arguments for pkgs, and then
re-importing it. This means it'll always use exactly the same package
set that's calling it, and should also mean faster eval due to not
importing Nixpkgs twice.
The Darwin stdenv is more complicated, and I'm not able to easily test
it, so I wasn't confident in making the same fix there. Instead, I've
just made sure crossSystem and localSystem are set to the correct values
so they're not always cross compiled and match the parent package set's.
It would still be preferable if somebody could make Darwin's
make-bootstrap-tools.nix take pkgs as an argument, rather than all the
arguments for pkgs.
libtool's libtool.m4 script assumes that `file` is available, and can
be found at `/usr/bin/file` (this path is hardwired). Furthermore,
the script with this assumption is vendored into the ./configure
scripts of an enormous number of packages. Without this commit, you
will frequently see errors like this during the configurePhase with
the sandbox enabled:
./configure: line 9595: /usr/bin/file: command not found
Due mostly to luck, this error does not affect native compiles on
nixpkgs' two most popular platforms, x86_64-linux and aarch64-linux.
However it will cause incorrect linker flag detection and a failure to
generate shared libraries for sandboxed cross-builds to a x86_64-linux
host as well as any sandboxed build (cross or native) for the following
hosts: x86_64-freebsd, *-hpux, *-irix, mips64*-linux, powerpc*-linux,
s390x-linux, s390x-tpf, sparc-linux, and *-solaris.
This commit fixes the problem by adding an extra line to fixLibtool()
in pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh. This extra line will scan the
unpacked source code for executable files named "configure" which
contain the following text:
'GNU Libtool is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify'
This text is taken to be an indicator of a vendored libtool.m4. When
it is found, the configure script containing it is subjected to `sed
-i s_/usr/bin/file_file_` which replaces all occurrences of
`/usr/bin/file` with `file`.
Additionally, the `file` package is now considered to be part of
`stdenv`. It has been added to `common-path.nix` so that the `file`
binary will be found in the `$PATH` of every build, except for the
bootstrap-tools and the first few stages of stdenv boostrapping.
Verified no regressions under:
nix-build --arg pkgs 'import ./. {}' ./lib/tests/release.nix
This commit allows the following commands to complete, which should
enable Hydra to produce bootstrap-files for mips64el:
nix-build \
--option sandbox true \
--option sandbox-fallback false \
pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix \
-A bootstrapTools.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.build
nix-build \
--option sandbox true \
--option sandbox-fallback false \
. \
-A pkgsCross.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.nix_2_4
At some point, I'd like to make another attempt at
71f1f4884b ("openssl: stop static binaries referencing libs"), which
was reverted in 195c7da07d. One problem with my previous attempt is
that I moved OpenSSL's libraries to a lib output, but many dependent
packages were hardcoding the out output as the location of the
libraries. This patch fixes every such case I could find in the tree.
It won't have any effect immediately, but will mean these packages
will automatically use an OpenSSL lib output if it is reintroduced in
future.
This patch should cause very few rebuilds, because it shouldn't make
any change at all to most packages I'm touching. The few rebuilds
that are introduced come from when I've changed a package builder not
to use variable names like openssl.out in scripts / substitution
patterns, which would be confusing since they don't hardcode the
output any more.
I started by making the following global replacements:
${pkgs.openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib pkgs.openssl}/lib
${openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib openssl}/lib
Then I removed the ".out" suffix when part of the argument to
lib.makeLibraryPath, since that function uses lib.getLib internally.
Then I fixed up cases where openssl was part of the -L flag to the
compiler/linker, since that unambigously is referring to libraries.
Then I manually investigated and fixed the following packages:
- pycurl
- citrix-workspace
- ppp
- wraith
- unbound
- gambit
- acl2
I'm reasonably confindent in my fixes for all of them.
For acl2, since the openssl library paths are manually provided above
anyway, I don't think openssl is required separately as a build input
at all. Removing it doesn't make a difference to the output size, the
file list, or the closure.
I've tested evaluation with the OfBorg meta checks, to protect against
introducing evaluation failures.
The `curlMinimal` is to be used throughout the early bootstrap
stages. The final stage will allow the new references of the `curl`.
Fixes: 29526bc2 ('curl: IDN support requires libidn2 package')
`TargetConditionals.h` was missing several definitions, like
`TARGET_OS_TV` that are part of SDK 10.12 at least. And one that doesn't
seem to occur in any SDK afaict, `TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER`.
I added the definitions from SDK 10.12 verbatim and defined
`TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER` to be equal to `0`.
I think none of this works if `darwin.Libsystem` is used to build for
linux or iOS though so maybe this needs a more thorough fix?
This reverts 336d82617f because it's no
longer necessary.
This enables the bootstrap stdenv test to specify the actual llvm
of the newly generated build instread of assuming it's the same version
as the current stdenv.
Changes to llvmPackages have caused the `libclang-cpp*.dylib` files to
be included in the `clang-unwrapped.lib` output. So we no longer need to
copy them from libclang.

This is a modified version of a patch to avoid a stdenv rebuild.
I was having a hard time testing new bootstrapFiles because
`make-bootstrap-tools.nix` imports `pkgspath` but does not pass anything
but the current system.
This is merely for convenience and I'm not entirely certain it's a
sensible thing to do, maybe generating new bootstrapFiles while
overriding the current bootstrapFiles isn't something you're supposed to
do?
The rpath structure for the bootstrap tools was reworked to minimize
the amount of rewriting required on unpack, but the test was not
updated to match the different structure.
Additionally [1] builds that use the bootstrap version of libc++
cannot find libc++abi if the reference includes the "lib"
component (ie, libc++ refers to libc++abi with
@rpath/lib/libc++abi.dylib).

If things build fine with `stdenvNoCC`, let them use that. If tools
might be prefixed, prepare for that, either by directly splicing or just
using the env vars provided by the wrapper setup-hooks.

I am taking the non-invasive parts of #110914 to hopefully help out with #111988.
In particular:
- Use `lib.makeScopeWithSplicing` to make the `darwin` package set have
a proper `callPackage`.
- Adjust Darwin `stdenv`'s overlays keeping things from the previous
stage to not stick around too much.
- Expose `binutilsNoLibc` / `darwin.binutilsNoLibc` to hopefully get us
closer to a unified LLVM and GCC bootstrap.
Also begin to start work on cross compilation, though that will have to
be finished later.
The patches are based on the first version of
https://reviews.llvm.org/D99484. It's very annoying to do the
back-porting but the review has uncovered nothing super major so I'm
fine sticking with what I've got.
Beyond making the outputs work, I also strove to re-sync the packages,
as they have been drifting pointlessly apart for some time.

Other misc notes, highly incomplete
- lvm-config-native and llvm-config are put in `dev` because they are
tools just for build time.
- Clang no longer has an lld dep. That was introduced in
db29857eb3, but if clang needs help
finding lld when it is used we should just pass it flags / put in the
resource dir. Providing it at build time increases critical path
length for no good reason.
----
A note on `nativeCC`:
`stdenv` takes tools from the previous stage, so:
1. `pkgsBuildBuild`: `(?1, x, x)`
2. `pkgsBuildBuild.stdenv.cc`: `(?0, ?1, x)`
while:
1. `pkgsBuildBuild`: `(?1, x, x)`
2. `pkgsBuildBuild.targetPackages`: `(x, x, ?2)`
3. `pkgsBuildBuild.targetPackages.stdenv.cc`: `(?1, x, x)`
Patch every `derivation` call in the bootsrap process to add it a
conditional `__contentAddressed` parameter.
That way, passing `contentAddressedByDefault` means that the entire
build closure of a system can be content addressed
