Darwin has a bug which affects the use of poll() with a tty fd,
which affects gambit's REPL when at a console, causing 100% CPU
usage.
Gambit recommends this is disabled on Darwin.
- Use the new Gambit support.
- Move files from $out to $out/gerbil.
- Use new Gerbil configuration and installation scripts.
- Move some fixups from preBuild to postPatch.
- Give up on previous failed attempts at using static libraries.
- Add support for compiling libraries written in Gerbil.
- Build using NIX_BUILD_CORES.
- Register all those things in all-packages.
Refactor the build rule:
- Put files in $out/gambit instead of $out.
- Make the optimization setting easy to override.
- Make use of gccStdenv more explicit at this level.
- Support new-style runtime options for forcing UTF-8 I/O.
- Override the PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING with git version.
- Note that the license is lgpl21, not lpgl2 (Note: also dual asl20).
- Try and fail to meaningfully add missing runtimeDeps.
- Build using NIX_BUILD_CORES.
The compiler does not need it anymore, has not needed it for many years
iirc. This just goes in and pollutes the environment overriding the
users GOPATH and causing grief.
Go even warns about it itself, without vs with this commit:
```sh
~> go env GOPATH
/home/manny/go
~> nix-shell -p go
~> go env GOPATH
warning: GOPATH set to GOROOT (/nix/store/gvw1mfpdrk7i82884yhxf9lf5j3c12zm-go-1.14.1/share/go) has no effect
/nix/store/gvw1mfpdrk7i82884yhxf9lf5j3c12zm-go-1.14.1/share/go
~> exit
~> nix-shell -I nixpkgs=cloned/NixOS/nixpkgs -p go
~> go env GOPATH
/home/manny/go
~> exit
```
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.
@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
