Lluís Batlle i Rossell 11aa65c28a Simplified much more the expressions for cross building and multiplatform.
I introduce the new nixpkgs parameter "platform", defaulting to "pc",
which was before defined as an attribute of nixpkgs.

I made the crossSystem nixpkgs attribute set parameter contain its own 'platform'.

This allows cross-building a kernel for a given crossSystem.platform in a non-PC
platform.

The actual native platform can be taken from stdenv.platform, and this way we also
avoid the constant passing of 'platform' to packages for platform-dependant builds
(kernel, initrd, ...).

I will update nixos accordingly to these changes, for non-PC platforms to work.

I think we are gaining on flexibility and clearness. I could cross build succesfully
an ultrasparc kernel and a mipsel kernel on PC. But since this change, I should be able
to do this also in non-PC.

Before this change, there was no possibility of distinguishing the "target platform" or
the "native build platform" when cross building, being the single "platform" attribute
always interpreted as target platform.

The platform is a quite relevant attribute set, as it determines the linuxHeaders used
(in the case, by now the only one supported, of linux targets).

The platform attributes are quite linux centric still. Let's hope for more generality to come.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell e1760d529b I still did not fix the nixpkgs tarball in the previous commit...
Next attempt, now simpler.

This should fix the nixpkgs tarball evaluation.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 513443dc9f Setting the pc kernel image to 'vmlinuz', and not 'bzImage'.
I thought it had to be bzImage. I should have checked better.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell c86da889cc Made the kernel generate-config "build as modules as you can" an option.
Sepcifically, a nixpkgs "platform" option. So, for PC all remained the same
as it was.

2009-12-28 10:35:34 +00:00
Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9ef11e4c4d Made the linux kernel expressions support 'platform' again (thinking on reusing
most of the kernel expressions for the sheevaplug).
I still have not added anything in the kernels about cross compilation.
I moved the platform definitions out of all-packages.
I have not written good platform definitions for the sheevaplug - only for the
PC.
Only the linux-2.6.32 expression uses the platforms kernelConfig.
The linux-2.6.31 was broken, and I left it broken.
