Eelco Dolstra 138c0ae751 * Merge the new generic builder.
* Removed substitute, it's part of the generic builder now.
* stdenv-initial (Linux): use the real generic builder script.  This
  does require that sed is in the path of the builder of the initial
  stdenv.

Eelco Dolstra 0b7e256162 * Hook variables in the generic builder are now executed using eval.
This has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
  expressions.  For instance, rather than write a builder like this:

    source $stdenv/setup

    postInstall=postInstall
    postInstall() {
        ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
        ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
    }

    genericBuild

  (the gzip builder), you can just add this attribute to the
  derivation:

    postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";

  and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary.  This should
  allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.

* Allow configure and make arguments to contain whitespace.
  Previously, you could say, for instance

    configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"

  but not

    configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"

  since the `-g' would be interpreted as a separate argument to
  configure.  Now you can say

    configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")

  or similarly

    configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")

  which does the right thing.  Idem for makeFlags, installFlags,
  checkFlags and distFlags.

  Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the environment,
  so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression, e.g.,

    configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];

  since it would just be flattened to a since string.  However, you
  can use the inline hooks described above:

    preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";

Eelco Dolstra 12c0a6351d * Use --strip-debug', not --strip-all', so that we can at least get

Eelco Dolstra b6001eed67 * Use patchelf to remove unnecessary directories automatically (in the
installation phase) from the rpaths of ELF executables and

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
  (3 x 3 bootstrap stages).  That's a bit excessive.

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).

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.
