Eelco Dolstra f7035ee5ca * Use named pipes explicitly instead of through bash's process
substitution feature (which appears to be buggy - there's no way to
  wait for an output redirection, and bash sometimes appears to die
  due to subtle timing conditions).  This also removes the most
  egregious dependency on bash.

Eelco Dolstra 128a5bd522 * Fix for zlib on Darwin (it always wants to install in /usr/lib,
despite the prefix).
* Indirections in all-packages-generic for patch.
* Darwin: removed version number.

Eelco Dolstra 93efdb400a * Log support in the generic builder. Just set $logPhases to 1 and
it will write the output of each phase to a separate log file in
  $out/log/.

Eelco Dolstra 331f913861 * Add write permission to sources copied from the store.
* A new `distPhase' to build source distributions (enabled when
  $doDist = 1).
* A new `checkPhase' to perform `make check' (enabled when $doCheck =
  1).
* Allow the prefix to be redirected, either by setting $prefix or by
  setting $useTempPrefix to 1.  Useful when making distributions.
* Allow the build or install phases to be skipped by setting
  $dontBuild $dontInstall to 1.
* Allow the order of phases to be changed by setting $phases.

Eelco Dolstra 5a00ba432c * Don't strip debug info on Darwin, otherwise links by libtool fail
("/usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with -r (resulting file would not be
  relocatable)").
* Since stdenv/generic had to be modified for this, I forked it in
  situ.  This should be merged later.

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 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).

Eelco Dolstra de13527000 * Finally got stdenv-nix-linux working again. Still not perfect,
though.
* libxml2: upgrade to latest.

Eelco Dolstra 946a2d4a48 * gcc-wrapper now filters out -L and -I flags referring to paths
outside the store (in pure builds).

Eelco Dolstra 16c0047575 * Use a 2-stage bootstrap for creating the standard build environment
(stdenv) on Linux.  The previous 1-stage bootstrap was insufficient,
  because the tools in stdenv where built by native tools.  For
  instance, the Nix bash had a reference to /lib/libncurses.  This
  doesn't happen with a 2-stage bootstrap, since the bash built in
  stage 2 will be built with the gcc built in stage 1, which doesn't
  search in the "standard" locations.

  Motto: "Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense."
