with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
This is somewhat of a hack, and other packages are certainly affected by
this issue (e.g. assh runs into it in some cgo code), but at least this
documents a workaround in-tree and gets one more package building now.
Close#8696.
Fixes issues found when jwhois attempts to launch terminal browser
(lynx) for HTTP whois queries, for example:
$ whois blah.io
[Querying http://www.io.io/cgi-bin/whois]
[HTTP: Unable to run web browser: /usr/bin/lynx: No such file or directory]
Tested via:
grep lynx \
/nix/store/bymgmn2vvw1n7nbb1isy87xg94s8f2ml-jwhois-4.0/etc/jwhois.conf \
| cut -f2 -d'"' \
| xargs stat -t
