This finally fixes the build to avoid having to completely rebuild
bazel from source a second time just to generate the bash completion
script!
It also makes completion actually _work_ for bash users by
correcting the name of the installed script.
Bazel either reuses the `PATH` from the client, or sets a hardcoded
one. The former mode in problematic for build hermeticity. But the
latter is crippled on NixOS, because the hardcoded value is
`/bin:/usr/bin`. So we set the hardcoded value to match what
`customBash` provides. This has the effect of aligning the
environments for `ctx.actions.run` and `ctx.actions.run_shell`, which
were previously distinct (bug).
Bazel is a build tool, much like Make and many others. Like Make, it
should be agnostic to the compiler toolchains the user brings into
scope. Bazel has special rules that encode domain specific knowledge
for how to compile a C++ program, or indeed a Java program and a few
others. But that's not to say that at runtime Bazel should assume
a specific C++ compiler or Java compiler anymore than Make does.
The main impact of this change is that packages that build with Bazel
will have to list the compilers they want in their `buildInputs` or
similar, rather than relying on the `bazel` package pulling them in
transitively.
Removed patches that are purely for testing.
Removed dependencies that seemed to not be needed.
Expand all instances of #!/bin/bash, not just those at the start of scripts.
Bazel 981b7bc1 depends on protobuf-2.5 and won't work with 2.6 (and in
bbe84fe3d upgraded straight to protobuf 3.0.0-alpha3); this commit fixes
the dependency to depend on protobuf2_5 specifically.
The bazel compile.sh needs `which` on the PATH; so this commit adds that
as a dependency.
Setting JAVA_HOME to ${jdk} broke bazel when used with openjdk, with the
message:
Problem with java installation: couldn't find/access rt.jar in /nix/store/z9vc0vzyzhnpl5l5inmqdnvdnbxmmmg7-openjdk-8u60b24
This is because if you set JAVA_HOME, bazel will look for rt.jar in
$JAVA_HOME/lib and $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib, but the nixpkgs openjdk
distribution puts rt.jar in ${jdk}/lib/openjdk/jre/lib for some reason.
To fix this, this commit uses the ${jdk.home} passthru value to use the
appropriate JAVA_HOME for the given jdk.
As bazel now works with openjdk, and openjdk is free while oraclejdk is
not, this commit changes the default jdk for bazel to openjdk.
Since this package didn't have a listed maintainer, I'm claiming it.
