Some other packages, for example ruby gems via buildRubyGem, use a
variable called "type" internally, which is overwritten here and
causes failures like:

Derivations not using `__structuredAttrs` should not attempt to set
environment variables from `env`.
Derivations using `__structuredAttrs` should fail if `env` is not

Passing `-l$NIX_BUILD_CORES` improperly limits the overall system load.
For a build machine which is configured to run `$B` builds where each
build gets `total cores / B` cores (`$C`), passing `-l $C` to make will
improperly limit the load to `$C` instead of `$B * $C`.
This effect becomes quite pronounced on machines with 80 cores, with
40 simultaneous builds and a cores limit of 2. On a machine with this
configuration, Nix will run 40 builds and make will limit the overall
system load to approximately 2. A build machine with this many cores
can happily run with a load approaching 80.
A non-solution is to oversubscribe the machine, by picking a larger
`$C`. However, there is no way to divide the number of cores in a way
which fairly subdivides the available cores when `$B` is greater than
1.
There has been exploration of passing a jobserver in to the sandbox,
or sharing a jobserver between all the builds. This is one option, but
relatively complicated and only supports make. Lots of other software
uses its own implementation of `-j` and doesn't support either `-l` or
the Make jobserver.
For the case of an interactive user machine, the user should limit
overall system load using `$B`, `$C`, and optionally systemd's
cpu/network/io limiting features.
Making this change should significantly improve the utilization of our
build farm, and improve the throughput of Hydra.
inherit_errexit wasn’t available in bash 3. We have a check to show a
nice error message, but that check is after we set inherit_errexit in
setup.sh. So we can just move this to below the BASH_VERSINFO check.
Closes#178625
The `busybox` version of `mktemp` requires exactly six `X` characters
in the argument to `mktemp`, unlike the `coreutils` version of `mktemp`.
Let's accomodate packages, like `epson-escpr2`, which fool `setup.sh`
into using the `busybox` version instead of the `stdenv` version.
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 \

This change is prompted by the following, admittedly cursed tarball:

The minimal reproducer for the issue is the following derivation trying
to work around the uid 0 issue with `dontMakeSourcesWritable = true`:
```nix
{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "test";
src = fetchurl {
sha1 = "d744358226217f981ed58f479b1d6bcc29545dcf";
url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/char-regex/-/char-regex-1.0.2.tgz";
};
dontMakeSourcesWritable = true;
installPhase = ''
cp -R . $out
'';
}
```
This currently fails in the following way:
```
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/pc3jbydl0xcc8nrndf5xkf7hdhpgpb41-test.drv
building '/nix/store/pc3jbydl0xcc8nrndf5xkf7hdhpgpb41-test.drv'...

```
As you can see, the issue is that `$sourceRoot` isn't executable,
prohibiting the call to `cd`. This can be fixed by running
`chmod +x "${sourceRoot}"` before `cd` regardless of
`dontMakeSourcesWritable` in `unpackPhase` since if `chmod` fails, `cd`
would fail as well and we are out of options.
Verified that the workaround works locally.
Another thing to investigate is investigating if we should use
`--no-same-owner` for `tar` and if it helps in this case as well.

Packages that use libtool run it as a wrapper around the linker.
Before calling the linker, libtool will determine what libraries would
be linked, and check if there's a corresponding libtool
archive (libfoo.la) file in the same directory . This file
contains extra information about the library. This is especially
important for static linking, because static archives don't contain
dependency information, so we need libtool to use the .la files to
figure out which libraries actually need to be linked against.
But in Nixpkgs, this has never worked. libtool isn't able to find any
libraries, because only the compiler wrapper knows how to find them,
and the compiler wrapper is opaque to libtool. This is why
pkgsStatic.util-linuxMinimal doesn't build prior to this patch — it
depends on libpam, which depends on libaudit, and if libtool can't
find the .la file, nothing will tell the linker to also link against
libaudit when linking libpam. (It was previously possible to build a
static util-linux, because linux-pam only recently had the audit
dependency added.)
There are a couple of ways we could fix this, so that libtool knows
where to look for .la files.
* Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH/DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH/whatever, which libtool will
examine. This would have major side effects though, because the
dynamic linker looks at it too.
* Inject libtool scripts with the appropriate information. That's
what I've done here. It was the obvious choice because we're
already finding and modifying the libtool scripts, to remove paths
outside the Nix store that libtool might check in unsandboxed
builds. Instead of emptying out the system paths, we can
repopulate it with our own library paths.
(We can't use a wrapper like we do for other tools in Nixpkgs, because
libtool scripts are often distributed in source tarballs, so we can't
just add a wrapped version of libtool as a dependency. That's why
there's already the fixLibtool function in stdenv.)
With this change, libtool is able to discover .la files, and
pkgsStatic.util-linuxMinimal can build again, linking correctly
against libpam and libaudit.
This reverts commit 488395c0f8.
Currently, `nix print-dev-env` fails to execute if this function is present, because of its use of hex literals.
Until this issue (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5262) is solved, we should revert this to prevent breakage.
somehow `read -N 0` behavior changed in bash 5. `read -d ''` has identical behavior
the purpose of the function is to read stdin and exit 1 on a null byte (i.e. if stdin is the content of a binary)
(cherry picked from commit 5d0acf20f8)
When we "fix" libtool, we empty out its system library path to avoid
it discovering libraries in e.g. /usr when the sandbox is disabled.
But this also means that the checks libtool does to make sure it can
find the libraries its supposed to be linking to won't work. On Linux
and Darwin, this isn't a problem, because libtool doesn't actually
perform any checks, but it is on at least NetBSD and Cygwin[1].
So, we force libtool not to do these checks on any platform, bringing
the more exotic platforms into line with the existing behaviour on
Linux and Darwin.
Without this change, lots of library packages produce warnings like
this in their build output on the platforms with checks by default:
*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lz.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libz but no candidates were found. (...for regex pattern test)
*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
*** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
*** or is declared to -dlopen it.
And dependent packages break because libtool doesn't link their
transitive dependencies. So making this change fixes _lots_ of
packages on those platforms.
