libiconv is already defined per-platform. The actual libiconv library
won't be built on platforms like Linux where it doesn't need to be, so
there's no need to maintain a separate platform list here.
Required to build for FreeBSD.
Done with the help of https://github.com/Mindavi/nixpkgs-mark-broken
Tool is still WIP but this is one of the first results.
I manually audited the results and removed some results that were not valid.
Note that some of these packages maybe should have more constrained platforms set
instead of broken set, but I think not being perfectly correct is better than
just keep trying to build all these things and never succeeding.
Some observations:
- Some darwin builds require XCode tools
- aarch64-linux builds sometimes suffer from using gcc9
- gcc9 is getting older and misses some new libraries/features
- Sometimes tools try to do system detection or expect some explicit settings for
platforms that are not x86_64-linux
musl and darwin support UTF-8 locales without any extras. As a result
unzip can unpack UTF-8 filenames there as is. But on glibc without
locale archive presence files get mangled as:
deps/αβ -> deps/#U03b1#U03b2
This makes `fetchzip` fixed-output derivations unstable.
Tested this change to fail in `coq.src` which was generated in system
that mangles UTF-8 symbols:
$ nix build -f. coq.src --rebuild -L

Note: it means that some of existing caches for fixed output
derivations become incorrect. It should not break already cached
tarballs on cache.nixos.org thus the impact should not be widespread.
`uasm` is x86 only.
It seems that in `aarch64-linux` at least, the optimizing build is done
without using any third-party tool (maybe using GCC's own assembly?).
Wimlib works just fine on darwin, but two adjustments need to be made:
- Tests need to be disabled, as they rely on glibc-isms (such as
lgetattr).
- cdrkit and syslinux dependencies are dropped, as those binaries are
linux-only.
* _7zz: correct license and remove p7zip dependency
The code under Compress/Rar* is licensed under a specific unRAR license
Also Compress/LzfseDecoder.cpp is covered by BSD3
The unRAR code is removed from the `.tar.xz` since the license posits you
agree or remove the code from your hard drive
This adds some complexity to updating 7zz so there is also an update
script
Meta has been updated and tweaked
Source is now downloaded from sourceforge in the `.tar.xz` version to
avoid depending on p7zip
* _7zz: add notice of the license updates and optional unRAR licenced code
The code under Compress/Rar* is licensed under a specific unRAR license
Also Compress/LzfseDecoder.cpp is covered by BSD3
The unRAR code is removed from the source drv since the license posits you
agree or remove the code from your hard drive
This adds some complexity to updating p7zip so there is also an update

Use uasm to compile the optimized code instead of generic C code for
faster operations.

catch is ancient and has no support for aarch64-darwin. The following
snippet is an example of what is supported on darwin platforms in catch
(i.e., prior to v2).
```
#ifdef CATCH_PLATFORM_MAC
#if defined(__ppc64__) || defined(__ppc__)
#define CATCH_TRAP() \
__asm__("li r0, 20\nsc\nnop\nli r0, 37\nli r4, 2\nsc\nnop\n" \
: : : "memory","r0","r3","r4" ) /* NOLINT */
#else
#define CATCH_TRAP() __asm__("int $3\n" : : /* NOLINT */ )
#endif
```
