python27 was recently marked as insecure, breaking cudaPackages.cudatoolkit. This commit has been successfully tested against the earliest supported, 10.0, and the latest supported, 11.8, with the assumption that intermediate versions ought to work as well.
GHC ships a [modified] config.sub so that js-unknown-ghcjs is accepted
by autotools. For some platforms, we automatically update config.sub
from upstream's source in order to prevent that builds fail when we use
an outdated config.sub. In this case of course the perfectly up to date
config.sub would reject the target platform we are trying to use, so we
must disable this mechanism for now.
I have asked in the GHC IRC channel if there are any plans on
upstreaming the platform. It would be nice if were able to drop this
change in the future.
keep a couple of packages "using" openimageio_1 - both are broken
anyway, but as such we have no evidence that they work with 2.x.
all are liable to get removed in the near future anyway.
This is now possible by building a cross compiler for js-unknown-ghjs
using `pkgsCross.ghcjs.buildPackages.haskell.compiler.ghcHEAD`.
To allow this, the following things needed to be done:
* Disable dependencies that wouldn't work:
- Don't pull in ncurses for terminfo
- Don't pull in libffi
- Don't pull in libiconv
- Don't enable the LLVM backend
- Enable gmp-less native-bignum backend
* Use emscripten instead of a C compiler. The way this works is inspired
by emscriptenPackages, but avoids the following flaws:
- Instead of using a custom configurePhase, just set
`configureScript = "emconfigure ./configure";` which is much simpler.
- Create writable EM_CACHE before configuring, as configure scripts
want to compile test programs.
Additionally, we need to disable the targetCC check, as it is not
applicable with emscripten which never appears as part of stdenv.
* Use generic $configureScript in installPhase to be able to work with
our emconfigure trick.
Note that the corresponding Haskell package set does not work yet. Cabal
doesn't seem to like GHC 9.7 yet and the generic-builder is clueless
about the JS backend.
