`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
configuration file. For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
config for the architecture). This is safer than allmodconfig,
which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
enabling a lot of experimental or debug options. (For this reason,
a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)
Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'. This
allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").

stdenv.
In this gcc-wrapper2 I made the ld-wrapper.sh to handle the linking with shared
objects through direct pass as ld command arguments of the absolute path to shared
objects, instead of using the -L/-l combinations.
cmake 'FindXXX.cmake' modules make a strong usage of the dynamic linking directly
passing the absolute path to the shared object to the linker, and as our wrapper did
not add any -rpath for those, writting the nix expressions for some cmake packages
resulted in a lot of tricks, compared to using this gcc-wrapper2.
This gcc-wrapper2/ld-wrapper.sh should become the gcc-wrapper/ld-wrapper in a
stdenv update.
I also updated some cmake expressions to use this gcc-wrapper2, and reduced its
tricks.
I also updated the cmake setup-hook for it to make cmake not touch any rpath decided
at build time, when running the 'make install' of makefiles created by cmake.

- Before this changes, cflags and ldflags for the native and the cross compiler
got mixed. Not all the gcc-wrapper/gcc-cross-wrapper variables are
independant now, but enough, I think.
- Fixed the generic stdenv expression, which did a big mess on buildInputs and
buildNativeInputs. Now it distinguishes when there is a stdenvCross or not.
Maybe we should have a single stdenv and forget about the stdenvCross
adapter - this could end in a stdenv a bit complex, but simpler than the
generic stdenv + adapter.
- Added basic support in pkgconfig for cross-builds: a single PKG_CONFIG_PATH
now works for both the cross and the native compilers, but I think this
should work well for most cases I can think of.
- I tried to fix the guile expression to cross-biuld; guile is built, but not
its manual, so the derivation still fails. Guile requires patching to
cross-build, as far as I understnad.
- Made the glibcCross build to be done through the usage of a

I was trying to cross compile SDL. Many dependencies work, but I ended seeing
libX11 not ready for cross compilation. Other xorg libraries cross-compile
well. libX11 may need a small patch. The problem is the usual "configure test
cannot be run in cross compilation", so the configure script halts.
I made the pkgconfig expression always return buildDrv, as I think it rarely
will be needed as buildInput. So to avoid rewriting all its mentions to use
it as buildNativeInput, I prefered this small change.

- Stating better the guile dependencies (native/host) for guile to build
- Fixing cross-linking, through --rpath-link (ld(1) explains well about it
- Made gcc call the linker and the assembler through the gcc wrapper instead of
directly. I thought this was the source of missing -rpath's, but the source
of the problem ended up being the lack of --rpath-link. But I think the
native gcc calls the wrapped ld and as, so let's do the same cross
compiling.
- Removed the binutilsCross from the glibc expressions. Now they are built
using the gcc-cross-wrapper, and they were built with the direct gcc and
binutils before this change.
- I think patchelf and strip don't break the cross-compiled binaries, so I
reallow them on cross compilation.
- I disable the checkPhase on cross compilation. This made gmp and libtool

I fixed the few expressions involved in bash building, so they have well stated
native and non-native inputs.
I also tried to cross-build guile, and with this I found a problem in the

way, the programs/shared_libraries don't get the proper -rpath.

derivation, the "buildInputs" in every stdenv mkDerivation don't map now
directly to the environment
variable "buildInputs" in the builder, but "buildNativeInputs". So, the inputs
build by the native compiler.
When cross compiling, they will map to the environment variable "buildInputs"
(yes, now the same name), which means does to be built with the cross compiler.
I think I improved the naming of variables a bit. There was a big mess,
specially in the stdenv adapter for cross building, and also in the default
builder script.
I also tried to add proper manager of propagatedInputBuilds, these being
propagated considering the host or build origin of that input build (so, at the
end, being those propagatedInputBuilds being propagated properly to the native

the cross compilation functionality.
- I renamed some expected stdenv.mkDerivation parameter attributes so we can
keep this branch properly updated from trunk. We agreed with Nicolas Pierron
doing a massive renaming, so all current buildInputs become hostInputs (input
as build for the host machine, in autotools terminology) , and
then buildInputs would mean "input as for the build machine".
By now, the specific "input as for the build machine" is specified through
buildNativeInputs. We should fix this in the merge to trunk.
- I made the generic stdenv understand the buildNativeInputs, otherwise if
we start changing nixpkgs expressions so they distinguish the current
buildInputs into buildInputs and buildNativeInputs, we could break even more
nixpkgs for other platforms.
- I changed the default result of mkDerivation so it becomes the derivation for
to be run in the build machine. This allows, without any special rewriting,
"fetchurl" derivations to be always results for the build machine to use
them.
- The change above implies that, for anyone wanting to cross-compile, has to
build the hostDrv of the wanted derivation. For example, after this commit,
the usual test of "nix-build -A bison.hostDrv arm.nix" works. I described
the contents of this arm.nix in r18398.

needing to keep a new tree of expressions apart for the expressions to get
cross-compiled.
I changed the whole way of using cross compilation with nixpkgs, which before
was done through a simple adapter.
Now the adapter became complex, and I've tried to avoid the most obvious
recursivities. For example, the fetchurl expression should
never be cross-compiled, as the gmp, mpfr, and some others, like
some ncurses, perl, ... I made overrided copies of those necessary as
perlNoCross, ncursesNoCross, as stdenvNoCross, keeping in mind that
the stdenv (capable of cross compilation) is built upon stdenvNoCross using
an adapter.
So, to cross compile, instead of building using "nixpkgs/default.nix",
you should build with your
own "myarchiteture.nix", which should have contents like these, for example:
import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/default.nix
{
crossSystem = {
config = "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
bigEndian = false;
arch = "arm";
float = "soft";
};
}

svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18351
My idea is to provide special stdenv expressions that will contain in the path
additional cross compilers. As most expressions for programs accept a stdenv parameter,
we could substitute this parameter with the special stdenv, which will have a
generic builder that attempts the usual "--target=..." and can additionally
have an env variable like "cross" with the target architecture set.
So, finally we could have additional expressions like this:
bashRealArm = makeOverridable (import ../shells/bash) {
inherit fetchurl bison;
stdenv = stdenvCross "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
};
Meanwhile it does not work - I still cannot get the cross-gcc to build.
I think it does not fill the previous expressions with a lot of noise, so I
think it may be a good path to follow.
I only touched some files of the current stdenv: gcc-4.3, kernel headers
2.6.28, glibc 2.9, ...
I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated. Maybe I will
update it, or update the gcc-wrapper expression to make it fit the cross tools,
but meanwhile I even cannot build gcc, so I have not tested the wrapper.
This new idea on cross compiling is not similar to that of the
nixpkgs/branches/cross-compilation, which mostly added bare new expressions for
anything to be cross compiled, if I understood it correctly.
I cared not to break anything of the usual stdenv in all this work.

The new version requires Tcl at build time in order to construct sqlite3.h,

On MacOS X, we used to use the native perl interpreter from /usr/bin.
Unfortunately, that interpreter fails to build a number of packages
(Subversion, Git, etc. ...), because it assumes knowledge about the
underlying C compiler that is not valid for the compiler used by Nix.
For example, /usr/bin/perl assumes that the compiler can build binaries
for both the ppc and the x86 architecture. /usr/bin/gcc can do that, but
the gcc from Nix can't.
The solution is to compile Perl 5.10 in Nix so that the ./configure
phase can properly detect the system's capabilities. However, note that
the resulting binary is impure: it will find headers in /usr/include and
libraries in /usr/lib. In this respect, the Nix-compiled perl binary is
no different than the native one in /usr/bin -- it's just configured
more accurately.
