Setting the SDK root by default allows `overrideSDK` to correctly set
the SDK version when using a different SDK. It also allows the correct
SDK version to be set when using an older deployment target. Not setting
the correct SDK version can result in unexpected behavior at runtime.
Examples:
* Automatic dark mode switching requires linking against an SDK version
of 10.14 or newer. With the current behavior, the only way to do this
is by using a 10.14+ deployment target even when the application
supports older platforms when build with a newer SDK.
* MetalD3D checks that the system version is at least 14.0. The API it
uses returns a compatibility version when the the SDK is older than
11.0, which causes it to display an error and terminate the
application even when even when its requirements are all met.
This is effectively a rewrite of `overrideSDK`. It was required because
`wrapGAppsHook` propagates `depsTargetTarget` with the expectation that
it will effectively be `buildInputs` when the hook is itself used as a
`nativeBuildInput`. This propagates Gtk, which itself propagates the
default Dariwn SDK, making it effectively impossible to override the SDK
when a package depends on Gtk and uses `wrapGAppsHook`.
This rewrite implements the following improvements:
* Cross-compilation should be supported correctly (untested);
* Supports public and private frameworks;
* Supports SDK `libs`;
* Remaps instead of replacing extra (native) build inputs in the stdenv;
* Updates any Darwin framework references in `nix-support`; and
* It updates `xcodebuild` regardless of which input its in.
The implementation avoids recursion for performance reasons. Instead, it
enumerates transitive dependencies and walks the list from the leaf
packages backwards to the parent packages.
- update the hashes and tools needed to extract the bootstrap-tools archive
- unify the x64 and aarch64 unpack process
- unpin libxml for python-minimal
- unpin LLVM11. fix discrepancy with freshBootstrapTools and the tools
built on hydra. pinning the stdenv for the hydra build doesn't pin the
tools as the included packages are able to change.
- remove unused LLVM tools & libs which reduces the uncompressed and
compressed file sizes by more than 1/2. compressed tarball is now 40M
and uncompressed is around 200M
- add @loader_path/. to dylibs that reference other libs in the archive.
this is needed for libraries with re-exports.
- validate shared objects with @rpath references contain the reference
in lib
- add a test to verify that the @loader_path/ works for libc++ as it
re-exports libc++abi
The Darwin bootstrap currently requires curl, but it is not strictly
required. The bootstrap requires it for two things:
* Fetchers; and
* As a transitive dependency of llvm-manpages (via Sphinx).
For the fetchers, the bootstrap curl can be used. For hatch-vcs, the
dependency, its tests can be disabled. Doing this allows curl to be
dropped from the Darwin stdenv bootstrap.
- merge libcxxabi into libcxx for LLVM 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and git.
- remove the link time workaround `-lc++ -lc++abi` from 58 packages as it is no longer required.
- fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/166205
- provides alternative fixes for. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/269548https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9640
- pkgsCross.x86_64-freebsd builds work again
This change can be represented in 3 stages
1. merge libcxxabi into libcxx -- files: pkgs/development/compilers/llvm/[12, git]/{libcxx, libcxxabi}
2. update stdenv to account for merge -- files: stdenv.{adapters, cc.wrapper, darwin}
3. remove all references to libcxxabi outside of llvm (about 58 packages modified)
### merging libcxxabi into libcxx
- take the union of the libcxxabi and libcxx cmake flags
- eliminate the libcxx-headers-only package - it was only needed to break libcxx <-> libcxxabi circular dependency
- libcxx.cxxabi is removed. external cxxabi (freebsd) will symlink headers / libs into libcxx.
- darwin will re-export the libcxxabi symbols into libcxx so linking `-lc++` is sufficient.
- linux/freebsd `libc++.so` is a linker script `LINK(libc++.so.1, -lc++abi)` making `-lc++` sufficient.
- libcxx/default.nix [12, 17] are identical except for patches and `LIBCXX_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES` (only used in 16+)
- git/libcxx/defaul.nix does not link with -nostdlib when useLLVM is true so flag is removed. this is not much different than before as libcxxabi used -nostdlib where libcxx did not, so libc was linked in anyway.
### stdenv changes
- darwin bootstrap, remove references to libcxxabi and cxxabi
- cc-wrapper: remove c++ link workaround when libcxx.cxxabi doesn't exist (still exists for LLVM pre 12)
- adapter: update overrideLibcxx to account for a pkgs.stdenv that only has libcxx
### 58 package updates
- remove `NIX_LDFLAGS = "-l${stdenv.cc.libcxx.cxxabi.libName}` as no longer needed
- swift, nodejs_v8 remove libcxxabi references in the clang override

Without the change bootstrapTools build fails as:
https://cache.nixos.org/log/g5wyq9xqshan6m3kl21bjn1z88hx48rh-stdenv-bootstrap-tools.drv
error: install_name_tool: changing install names or rpaths can't be redone for: /nix/store/0hxg356h7lnl2hck23wrdpbib3cckx41-stdenv-bootstrap-tools/bin/tac (for architecture x86_64) because larger updated load commands do not fit (the program must be relinked, and you may need to use -headerpad or -headerpad_max_install_names)
As reported in #241692, since the `llvmPackages` bump the
bootstrap-tools started failing to build due to a mismatch in LLVM
versions used to build certain tools.
By overlaying the imported package set to specify `llvmPackages`, we get
everything built with the expected LLVM version.
This patch switches the CoreFoundation on x86_64-darwin from the open
source swift-corelibs-foundation (CF) to the system CoreFoundation.
This change was motivated by failures building packages for the current
staging-next cycle #263535 due to an apparent incompatibility with the
rpath-based approach to choosing CF or CoreFoundation and macOS 14. This
error often manifests as a crash with an Illegal Instruction.
For example, building aws-sdk-cpp for building Nix will fail this way.

According to a [post][1] on the Apple developer forums, hardening was
added to CoreFoundation, and this particular message occurs when you
attempt to release an object it does not recognize as a valid CF object.
(Thank you to @lilyinstarlight for finding this post).
When I switched aws-sdk-cpp to link against CoreFoundation instead of
CF, the error went away. Somehow both libraries were being used. To
prevent dependent packages from linking the wrong CoreFoundation, it
would need to be added as a propagated build input.
Note that there are other issues related to mixing CF and CoreFoundation
frameworks. #264503 fixes an issue with abseil-cpp where it propagates
CF, causing issues when using a different SDK version. Mixing versions
can also cause crashes with Python when a shared object is loaded that
is linked to the “wrong” CoreFoundation.
`NIX_COREFOUNDATION_RPATH` is supposed to make sure the right
CoreFoundation is being used, but it does not appear to be enough on
macOS 14 (presumably due to the hardening). While it is possible to
propagate CoreFoundation manually, the cleaner solution is to make it
the default. CF remains available as `darwin.swift-corelibs-foundation`.

curl needs to link against several frameworks, but building the
frameworks (directly or indirectly) depends on curl via fetchurl and
fetchFromGitHub. Break the infinite recursion by building the SDKs’
dependencies in the last stage of the stdenv bootstrap using the prior
stage’s fetchurl and fetchFromGitHub.
This will allow buliding bootstrap tools for platforms with
non-default libcs, like *-unknown-linux-musl.
This gets rid of limitedSupportSystems/systemsWithAnySupport. There
was no need to use systemsWithAnySupport for supportDarwin, because it
was always equivalent to supportedSystems for that purpose, and the
only other way it was used was for determining which platforms to
build the bootstrap tools for, so we might as well use a more explicit
parameter for that, and then we can change how it works without
affecting the rest of the Hydra jobs.
Not affecting the rest of the Hydra jobs is important, because if we
changed all jobs to use config triples, we'd end up renaming every
Hydra job. That might still be worth thinking about at some point,
but it's unnecessary at this point (and would be a lot of work).
I've checked by running
nix-eval-jobs --force-recurse pkgs/top-level/release.nix
that the actual bootstrap tools derivations are unaffected by this
change, and that the only other jobs that change are ones that depend
on the hash of all of Nixpkgs. Of the other jobset entrypoints that
end up importing pkgs/top-level/release.nix, none used the
limitedSupportedSystems parameter, so they should all be unaffected as
well.
To work around intermitent build failures with clang 16, the stdenv
attempted to pass arguments on the command-line on newer versions of
macOS. Unfortunately, the larger `ARG_MAX` is still not large enough to
build qtwebengine. This commit reverts the `NIX_CC_NO_RESPONSE_FILE`
logic in the stdenv. The changes to cc-wrapper in #245282 are needed for
clang 16 to prevent the above-mentioned build failures.
This fixes pyicu (and any other package that uses `icu-config` instead
of the CMake or some other module to get the build flags).
What happened here is the bootstrap disables `patchShebangs` to avoid
propagating the bootstrap tools to the final stdenv (due to `sh` and
`bash` being on the `PATH` from the bootstrap tools). Because of that,
the `#!/bin/sh` line in `icu-config` was not updated, causing it to
invoke the system bash on Darwin. While that is undesirable in its own
right, when the system bash is invoked as `sh`, `echo -n` will print
`-n`, resulting in the breakage see in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/241951#issuecomment-1627604354.
The fix is to build bash earlier in the bootstrap while making sure it
is picked up over the one in the bootstrap tools. That allows
`patchShebangs` to be enabled during the bootstrap. Any package with
scripts that is included in the final stdenv should now have its
scripts’ shebang lines properly patched.
When sandboxing is enabled, the hook tries to run `install_name_tool`
and fails because the system one is inaccessible. Having it use
`targetPrefix` allows it to find and use the cross-install_name_tool.
swift-corelibs uses libcurl to implement `NSURLSession` in Foundation
via the symbols exported by CF. Foundation is not build on Darwin, and
these symbols are not exported by the system CoreFoundation.
By not linking against libcurl, this breaks a cycle between CF and
libcurl. That should allow libcurl to drop the patch disabling
linking against the SystemConfiguration and restore NAT64 support.
Unfortunately, the Darwin stdenv bootstrap still needs to build
dependencies that use `fetchFromGitHub`. While it can drop curl from the
final stdenv, it still needs to use it during the stdenv bootstrap.
In preparation for bumping the LLVM used by Darwin, this change
refactors and reworks the stdenv build process. When it made sense,
existing behaviors were kept to avoid causing any unwanted breakage.
However, there are some differences. The reasoning and differences are
discussed below.
- Improved cycle times - Working on the Darwin stdenv was a tedious
process because `allowedRequisites` determined what was allowed
between stages. If you made a mistake, you might have to wait a
considerable amount of time for the build to fail. Using assertions
makes many errors fail at evaluation time and makes moving things
around safer and easier to do.
- Decoupling from bootstrap tools - The stdenv build process builds as
much as it can in the early stages to remove the requirement that the
bootstrap tools need bumped in order to bump the stdenv itself. This
should lower the barrier to updates and make it easier to bump in the
future. It also allows changes to be made without requiring additional
tools be added to the bootstrap tools.
- Patterned after the Linux stdenv - I tried to follow the patterns
established in the Linux stdenv with adaptations made to Darwin’s
needs. My hope is this makes the Darwin stdenv more approable for
non-Darwin developers who made need to interact with it. It also
allowed some of the hacks to be removed.
- Documentation - Comments were added explaining what was happening and
why things were being done. This is particular important for some
stages that might not be obvious (such as the sysctl stage).
- Cleanup - Converting the intermediate `allowedRequisites` to
assertions revealed that many packages were being referenced that no
longer exist or have been renamed. Removing them reduces clutter and
should help make the stdenv bootstrap process be more understandable.
cctools-llvm is a replacement for cctools that replaces as much of cctools with equivalents from LLVM that it can reasonably do. This was motivated by wanting to reduce dependencies on cctools, which are updated infrequently by upstream.
To provide a motivating example, the version of `strip` included in cctools cannot properly strip the archives in compiler-rt in LLVM 15. Paths are left to bootstrap tools, resulting in failed requisites checks in the final stdenv build. Since `strip` needs replaced, the opportunity was taken to replace other provided they are functional replacements.
Note: This has to be done in cctools (or some equivalent) because some derivations (noteably LLVM) use the bintools of the stdenv directly instead of going through the wrapper.
The following tools from LLVM are not used in this derivation:
* LLD - not fully compatible with ld64 yet and potentially too big of a change;
* libtool - not a drop-in replacement yet because it does not support linker passthrough, which is needed by xcbuild;
* lipo - crashes when running the LLVM test suite;
* install_name_tool - fails when trying to build swift-corefoundation; and.
* randlib - not completely a drop-in replacement, so leaving it out for now.
If other incompatabilities are found, the tools can be reverted or made conditional. For example, cctools `strip` is preferred on older versions of LLVM (which lack the compiler-rt issue) or when cctools itself is a new enough version because `llvm-strip` on LLVM 11 produces files that older verions of `codesign_allocate` cannot process correctly.
One final caveat/note: Some tools are not duplicated or linked from cctools-port. The names of the tools and which ones were linked was determined based on what is provided upstream in Xcode and is installed on macOS system.
The stdenv wouldn't build with it, as
compiler-rt-libc-11.1.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.*_osx.a
retained reference to SDKs (which we forbid for final stdenv).

A few potentially disruptive changes:
- binutils does not embed ${binutils-unwrapped}/lib as a default library
search path anymore. This will cause link failures for -lbfd -lopcodes
users that did not declare their dependency on those libraries. They
will need to add `libbfd` and `libopcodes` attributes to build inputs.
- `libbfd` and `libopcodes` attributes now just reference
`binutils-unwrapped.{dev,lib}` pair of attributes without patching
`binutils` build system.
We don't patch build system anymore and use multiple outputs out of
existing `binutils` build. That makes the result more maintainable: no
need to handle ever growing list of dependencied of `libbfd`. This time
new addition was `libsframe`.
To accomodate `out` / `lib` output split I had to remove `lib` -> `bin`
backreference by removing legacy lookup path for plugins.
I also did not enable `zstd` just yet as `nixpkgs` version of `zstd`
package pulls in `cmake` into bootstrap sequence.
Changes: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2023-01/msg00003.html
FreeBSD doesn't use LLVM's cxxabi implementation, for backwards
compatibility reasons. Software expects the libcxxrt API when
building on FreeBSD. This fixes the build of
pkgsCross.x86_64-freebsd.boost.
Stdenv on aarch64-darwin pulls in (bootstrap-stage4) objc4, unlike
x86_64. However derivations that otherwise depend on objc4 would use a
a different objc4 derivation on top of the final stdenv.
Because this library defines an LLVM module, having multiple instances
of it in the import path will interfere with builds.
It's expected that attributes in the top-level package set will all use
that package set, but this wasn't the case for the bootstrap tools.
This led some very confusing behaviour:
- pkgsMusl.stdenvBootstrapTools would build glibc bootstrap tools
- stdenvBootstrapTools was _always_ cross compiled, even if
Nixpkgs wasn't, because it always set crossSystem. This also didn't
match the behaviour of using make-bootstrap-tools.nix as an
entrypoint, where crossSystem would default to null.
For the Linux stdenv, I've made the ideal fix, which is to make pkgs an
argument rather than taking the arguments for pkgs, and then
re-importing it. This means it'll always use exactly the same package
set that's calling it, and should also mean faster eval due to not
importing Nixpkgs twice.
The Darwin stdenv is more complicated, and I'm not able to easily test
it, so I wasn't confident in making the same fix there. Instead, I've
just made sure crossSystem and localSystem are set to the correct values
so they're not always cross compiled and match the parent package set's.
It would still be preferable if somebody could make Darwin's
make-bootstrap-tools.nix take pkgs as an argument, rather than all the
arguments for pkgs.
libtool's libtool.m4 script assumes that `file` is available, and can
be found at `/usr/bin/file` (this path is hardwired). Furthermore,
the script with this assumption is vendored into the ./configure
scripts of an enormous number of packages. Without this commit, you
will frequently see errors like this during the configurePhase with
the sandbox enabled:
./configure: line 9595: /usr/bin/file: command not found
Due mostly to luck, this error does not affect native compiles on
nixpkgs' two most popular platforms, x86_64-linux and aarch64-linux.
However it will cause incorrect linker flag detection and a failure to
generate shared libraries for sandboxed cross-builds to a x86_64-linux
host as well as any sandboxed build (cross or native) for the following
hosts: x86_64-freebsd, *-hpux, *-irix, mips64*-linux, powerpc*-linux,
s390x-linux, s390x-tpf, sparc-linux, and *-solaris.
This commit fixes the problem by adding an extra line to fixLibtool()
in pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh. This extra line will scan the
unpacked source code for executable files named "configure" which
contain the following text:
'GNU Libtool is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify'
This text is taken to be an indicator of a vendored libtool.m4. When
it is found, the configure script containing it is subjected to `sed
-i s_/usr/bin/file_file_` which replaces all occurrences of
`/usr/bin/file` with `file`.
Additionally, the `file` package is now considered to be part of
`stdenv`. It has been added to `common-path.nix` so that the `file`
binary will be found in the `$PATH` of every build, except for the
bootstrap-tools and the first few stages of stdenv boostrapping.
Verified no regressions under:
nix-build --arg pkgs 'import ./. {}' ./lib/tests/release.nix
This commit allows the following commands to complete, which should
enable Hydra to produce bootstrap-files for mips64el:
nix-build \
--option sandbox true \
--option sandbox-fallback false \
pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix \
-A bootstrapTools.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.build
nix-build \
--option sandbox true \
--option sandbox-fallback false \
. \
-A pkgsCross.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.nix_2_4
At some point, I'd like to make another attempt at
71f1f4884b ("openssl: stop static binaries referencing libs"), which
was reverted in 195c7da07d. One problem with my previous attempt is
that I moved OpenSSL's libraries to a lib output, but many dependent
packages were hardcoding the out output as the location of the
libraries. This patch fixes every such case I could find in the tree.
It won't have any effect immediately, but will mean these packages
will automatically use an OpenSSL lib output if it is reintroduced in
future.
This patch should cause very few rebuilds, because it shouldn't make
any change at all to most packages I'm touching. The few rebuilds
that are introduced come from when I've changed a package builder not
to use variable names like openssl.out in scripts / substitution
patterns, which would be confusing since they don't hardcode the
output any more.
I started by making the following global replacements:
${pkgs.openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib pkgs.openssl}/lib
${openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib openssl}/lib
Then I removed the ".out" suffix when part of the argument to
lib.makeLibraryPath, since that function uses lib.getLib internally.
Then I fixed up cases where openssl was part of the -L flag to the
compiler/linker, since that unambigously is referring to libraries.
Then I manually investigated and fixed the following packages:
- pycurl
- citrix-workspace
- ppp
- wraith
- unbound
- gambit
- acl2
I'm reasonably confindent in my fixes for all of them.
For acl2, since the openssl library paths are manually provided above
anyway, I don't think openssl is required separately as a build input
at all. Removing it doesn't make a difference to the output size, the
file list, or the closure.
I've tested evaluation with the OfBorg meta checks, to protect against
introducing evaluation failures.
The `curlMinimal` is to be used throughout the early bootstrap
stages. The final stage will allow the new references of the `curl`.
Fixes: 29526bc2 ('curl: IDN support requires libidn2 package')
`TargetConditionals.h` was missing several definitions, like
`TARGET_OS_TV` that are part of SDK 10.12 at least. And one that doesn't
seem to occur in any SDK afaict, `TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER`.
I added the definitions from SDK 10.12 verbatim and defined
`TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER` to be equal to `0`.
I think none of this works if `darwin.Libsystem` is used to build for
linux or iOS though so maybe this needs a more thorough fix?
This reverts 336d82617f because it's no
longer necessary.
This enables the bootstrap stdenv test to specify the actual llvm
of the newly generated build instread of assuming it's the same version
as the current stdenv.
Changes to llvmPackages have caused the `libclang-cpp*.dylib` files to
be included in the `clang-unwrapped.lib` output. So we no longer need to
copy them from libclang.
`TargetConditionals.h` was missing several definitions, like
`TARGET_OS_TV` that are part of SDK 10.12 at least. And one that doesn't
seem to occur in any SDK afaict, `TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER`.
I added the definitions from SDK 10.12 verbatim and defined
`TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER` to be equal to `0`.
This is a modified version of a patch to avoid a stdenv rebuild.
I was having a hard time testing new bootstrapFiles because
`make-bootstrap-tools.nix` imports `pkgspath` but does not pass anything
but the current system.
This is merely for convenience and I'm not entirely certain it's a
sensible thing to do, maybe generating new bootstrapFiles while
overriding the current bootstrapFiles isn't something you're supposed to
do?
The rpath structure for the bootstrap tools was reworked to minimize
the amount of rewriting required on unpack, but the test was not
updated to match the different structure.
Additionally [1] builds that use the bootstrap version of libc++
cannot find libc++abi if the reference includes the "lib"
component (ie, libc++ refers to libc++abi with
@rpath/lib/libc++abi.dylib).

Test failure observed on Hydra: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/143130126
If things build fine with `stdenvNoCC`, let them use that. If tools
might be prefixed, prepare for that, either by directly splicing or just
using the env vars provided by the wrapper setup-hooks.
