Eelco Dolstra 1014ca2ad5 * stdenv.mkDerivation: add any attributes in the "passthru" attribute
set to the result, but don't use them in the actual derivation (so
  they're not inputs).  Useful to pass through extra attributes that
  are not inputs, but should be made available to Nix expressions
  using the derivation (e.g., in assertions).

Armijn Hemel c2f5345172 add attribute isLinux. Nice for packages we only want to build on linux, but on different platforms (currently i686-linux and powerpc-linux)

Eelco Dolstra f1166e0bbb * Through the magic of functional programming, let stdenv export a
function to regenerate itself with a different setup script.  This
  is useful for experimenting with changes to the setup script in
  specific packages without triggering a rebuild of everything.

* stdenv/generic/setup-latest.sh is a branch of setup.sh containing
  pending changes that will be merged into setup.sh eventually.

* setup-latest.sh: don't use tar's "z" and "j" flags.  Rather, call
  gzip and bunzip2 directly.

Eelco Dolstra baec8f5b38 * stdenv.mkDerivation now takes an optional attribute "meta" that
contains arbitrary information about a package, like this:

  meta = {
    homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/";
    license = "GPL/LGPL";
    description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x";
  };

  The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation
  operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes
  don't trigger a recompilation.

  Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-)

Eelco Dolstra 07bc3fbf00 * Push packages from the final stdenv bootstrapping phase to
all-packages.  That is, an attribute like "bash" in all-packages.nix
  should evaluate to the "bash" used to build stdenv, it shouldn't
  build a new one.

  Hm, this would be a lot cleaner if we had lazy_rec ;-)

Eelco Dolstra 5b15f75a13 * mkDerivation: accept an argument `realBuilder' (stupid name) to
override the default builder (i.e., bash).  For example,

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      realBuilder = perl ~ "bin/perl";
      args = [ "-w" ./builder.pl ];
    }

Eelco Dolstra 1ab4a9324c * The `patch' command is now part of stdenv, so it no longer needs to
be passed to derivations that need to apply patches.
* GCC 3.4 is now the default compiler (old GCC renamed to `gcc-3.3').
* The temporary GCCs built during the stdenvLinux bootstrap are now
  built without C++ support and without profiling.
* Remove fixincl in GCC 3.4 to prevent a retained dependency on the
  previous GCC.
* Always set $prefix in setup.sh, even when there is no configure
  script.

Eelco Dolstra 01a1658c6b * Finally we have a working stdenvLinux again.
On the downside, the build process of stdenvLinux builds gcc 9 times

Eelco Dolstra 12ae5363ea * Remove trivial builders.
* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
  execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
  `mkDerivation'.  These transformations were all done automatically,
  so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

Eelco Dolstra 5941f66f0e * The stdenv setup script now defines a generic builder that allows
builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,

    . $stdenv/setup
    genericBuild

  The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:

  - Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
    gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
  - Determines the source tree.
  - Applies patches specified by $patches.
  - Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
  - Runs `configure'.
  - Runs `make'.
  - Runs `make install'.
  - Strips debug information from static libraries.
  - Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
    `log2xml').

  There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
  builder.  See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.

* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
  generic builder.

* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.

* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv.  We shouldn't
  encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).

* Updated some packages.

* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).

* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
  processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
  a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
  variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).

* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
  accepted by `log2xml'.  Also, prior to writing the build command,
  Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
  built.  This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
  invocations in many Makefiles.  The actual build commands are marked
  `unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
  `log2html'.

Eelco Dolstra 0fd59fd7a4 * Re-enabled purity checking: it should work now. First we only
checked whether absolute paths passed to gcc/ld refer to the store,
  which is wrong: they can also refer to the build tree
  (/tmp/nix-...).

* Less static composition in the construction of stdenv-nix-linux:
  gcc-wrapper and generic are now passed in as arguments, rather then
  referenced by relative path.  This makes it easier to hack on a
  specific stage of the bootstrap process (before, a change to, e.g.,
  generic/setup.sh would cause all bootstrap stages to be redone).

2004-03-08 18:29:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ce50734cf0 * Started reorganising stdenv:
- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
    derivation.  This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user
    environment.  (Previously the Nix gcc didn't work because it
    needed a whole bunch of flags to point to glibc.)
    
  - Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
    scripts.  For instance, setup no longer knows about the
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.

  - gcc not longer depends on binutils.  This simplifies the bootstrap
    process.
