It still does not work, but I think I already get glibc cross compiled.
Next: gcc and g++, and set some setup script hooks on stdenvCross.
It took quite enough hours for this commit.
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I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated.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.

This comes from:
svn diff ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.
trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

a symbol clash with glib 2.21. So we keep with glib 2.20.
I also changed the default wxGTK from 2.6 to 2.8, caring so no hash is changed due to
this change. Some packages using 2.6 may well build with 2.8, so we can try updating
them for another commit.

The new version requires Tcl at build time in order to construct sqlite3.h,
even when the --without-tcl option is passed to configure. That feels odd
because the sqlite web site does advertise "no dependencies", but then it's
probably not a big deal either. The build of the Tcl plugin for sqlite is still
disabled, so there is no run-time dependency.

I tried to keep the openssh hash not changing, unless the user sets hpn in getConfig
style. I think that does not look as good as a patch changing the hash, but it may
annoy less. Let me know if it is not ok.
I don't think hpn should be the default, because it may have some insecurity implications
I don't know of. But I used to enable it in all my machines, and I hope to do so unless
advised otherwise.

I tried their website renderer, but it did not work for me. It may be shut down,
because their last update is for 2006.
Next steps: put it into nixos, and build the renderer (java!).

I could not easily make some bsdgames build or install. Too much patching

* Dropped "nolongdouble.patch". The patch no longer applies to Python 2.6, and
apparently isn't required anymore either.
* Added access to native Darwin arch utility. Python tries to run 'arch' in
the configure stage, but that binary reside in /usr/bin. To make it
available to the expression, the small wrapper darwinArchUtility is added as
a buildInput if appropriate.
* Don't pass --enable-shared. The build fails if we try to enable building of
shared libraries, apparently because some required libraries aren't linked,
i.e. the linker call isn't right.
TODO:
* Figure out how to enable shared linking.
* The resulting binary on Darwin seem to lack the binascii module.

The build succeeds on i686-linux. Other platforms look good, too,
because there were hardly any changes necessary to update the expression

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.

When building Emacs on MacOS X, the configure script believes that libXaw is
available and tries to link it (even when, in fact, libXaw is not available).
To work around that problem, we make Xaw support mandatory on MacOS X.

The OpenSSH binaries built by the expression by default expect system-wide
configuration files in "/etc/ssh", which is a bit of an impurity (and certainly
inconsistent with the way other package handle --sysconfdir in Nix). Those who
prefer a clean installation, can now configure that directory path.
Adding the line "openssh = { etcDir = null; };" to $NIXPKGS_CONFIG configures
OpenSSH to use the default location, i.e. $out/etc. Setting that attribute to a
string will configure OpenSSH to use that concrete path instead.

* Dropped classr.patch; it no longer applies to this version.
* The "configure" script has been renamed to "bootstrap.sh".
* The bootstrapping process generates no Makefile anymore; the build
expression has to call bjam directly to build the libraries.
* Perform build and install phase in one execution of bjam. This is a
lot faster, because bjam won't check the dependencies twice.

configure script prints out this ominous warning:
WARNING: PolicyKit is disabled. You need to manually edit the hal.conf
file to lock down the service. Failure to do so allows any
caller to make hald do work on their behalf which may be
a huge SECURITY HOLE. I repeat: YOU NEED TO EDIT THE FILE
hal.conf to match your distro/site to avoid NASTY SECURITY HOLES.
Note that HAL only builds with the old PolicyKit (it looks for
polkit.pc). Reverted ConsoleKit to the last version that used the
old PolicyKit for this reason.

a headache. "polkit" is the new, unstable release series.
"policykit" is the old series. (See
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/polkit-devel/2009-February/000106.html
for an "explanation" of the name change.) It seems that for HAL we
need to revert to the old "policykit", since it doesn't compile
against "polkit".
