checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
The XS modules were being built for the build platform, and the perl scripts
had build platform shebangs.
It is possible to build the XS modules by passing
PERL_EXT_CC=${stdenv.cc.targetPrefix}cc and --enable-perl-xs=yes, but they
fail to load due to a handshake key mismatch. Instead, I just decided to
disable the XS modules and use the pure Perl fallbacks when cross-compiling.
The shebangs were fixed manually using substituteInPlace.
It's basically a partial revert of PR #95910.
I chose a temporar-ish solution, maximizing likelihood of fixing
this while minimizing rebuilds. (20.09 process is being blocked)
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
This fixes#86166 to build cross compilied texinfoInteractive.
BUILD_CC has been renamed to CC_FOR_BUILD so the patch needs to applied
this renaming.
tested on: pkgsCross.armv7l-hf-multiplatform.texinfoInteractive
I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
