Upstream now strips absolute paths to their basename on all platforms apart from
Darwin: a41abe1868
To get around this without modifying the basename test we simply pass in
`basename=False` when normally generating gir files.
I was testing the build on nixos-unstable but
64d50a00991983e90d6a22f39d03b028602e34d6 added another patch. Since this
patch is already in 0.48.0 it can't be applied again (overriding Meson
isn't optimal but we can't build wlroots with 0.46.1).
I've also dropped the "-Dxcb-xkb=enabled" flag since it was removed
(replaced with Xinput).
Thanks @kenogo for noticing this :)
You can use stdenv.hostPlatform.emulator to get an executable that
runs cross-built binaries. This could be any emulator. For instance,
we use QEMU to emulate Linux targets and Wine to emulate Windows
targets. To work with qemu, we need to support custom targets.
I’ve reworked the cross tests in pkgs/test/cross to use this
functionality.
Also, I’ve used talloc to cross-execute with the emulator. There
appears to be a cross-execute for all waf builds. In the future, it
would be nice to set this for all waf builds.
Adds stdenv.hostPlatform.qemuArch attrbute to get the qemuArch for
each platform.
Upstream's requirements.txt wrongly suggests that redis==3.x is support
(missing upper-bound constraint), but the tests break due to API
incompatibilities.
We need to set dontUseImakeConfigure in a few places to prevent imake
from overriding the default configure phase. This packages all have a
configure script that needs to get run:
- Xaw3d
- R
- tkgate
- ssvnc
A few changes needed here:
- We don’t want to guess what our platform is. We can patch location
and targetdir to not put things in an unpredictable directory.
- Make premake4 a native build input.
- Set the premakefile variable.
Adds a configure phase for packages using premake.
premakeConfigurePhase runs the correct premake version for the premake
you are using (see premake_cmd).
Although the tests are passing locally, it seems as the excessive
filesystem usage causes several build failures and timeouts in the Hydra
and OfBorg infrastructure:
* https://hydra.nixos.org/build/84374861 (python3 on linux.x86_64)
* https://hydra.nixos.org/build/84368459 (python2 on linux.x86_64)
Some of these tests are failing after several seconds though, but I
couldn't identify a pattern and I'm not overly surprised that a FTP
library has impure tests. However the API seems to be usable in a Python
{2,3} environment, so it should be safe to use even with disabled tests.
