You can build (partially) with LLVM toolchain using the useLLVM flag.
This works like so:
nix-build -A hello --arg crossSystem '{ system =
"aarch64-unknown-linux-musl"; useLLVM = true }'
also don’t separate debug info in lldClang
It doesn’t work currently with that setup hook. Missing build-id?
Comments on conflicts:
- llvm: d6f401e1 vs. 469ecc70 - docs for 6 and 7 say the default is
to build all targets, so we should be fine
- some pypi hashes: they were equivalent, just base16 vs. base32
For a long time now, tracing has been broken in Nixpkgs. So when you
have an eval error you would get something like this:
error: while evaluating the attribute 'buildInputs' of the derivation 'hello-2.10' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix:185:11:
while evaluating 'chooseDevOutputs' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:474:22, called from undefined position:
while evaluating 'optionals' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/lists.nix:257:5, called from /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix:132:17:
This is coming from how Nix handles string context and how
make-derivation messes with the "name" attribute. This commit should
restore the old behavior so you get a nice line number like:
error: while evaluating the attribute 'buildInputs' of the derivation 'hello-2.10' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix:4:3:
while evaluating 'chooseDevOutputs' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:474:22, called from undefined position:
while evaluating 'optionals' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/lists.nix:257:5, called from /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix:132:17:
NOTE: This will still be broken for cross compilation due to the
prefixes we are adding to name.
This behavior ended up breaking the handleEvalIssue functionality by hiding those packages. So something like this:
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.zoom-us
would silently fail, without telling the user how to fix it! Regardless, this "bug" should be handled in Nix - not Nixpkgs.
Fixes#38952.
We can't run the checkPhase when build != host, so we may as well make
the checkInputs native.
This signicantly improves the situation of Python packages when enabling
strictDeps.
Some trivial builders use the name attr to choose the exec name
produced. For example nixos-install,
nixos-install = makeProg {
name = "nixos-install";
src = ./nixos-install.sh;
nix = config.nix.package.out;
path = makeBinPath [ nixos-enter ];
};
When cross compiling, this puts the prog in,
/bin/nixos-install-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
When separateDebugInfo = true & !stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux, we
always gave an error. There is no reason to do this. Instead, just
don’t add separate debug info when we aren’t on Linux.
propagateNativeBuildInputs will end up going in the output derivation.
This case is allowed to end up in references because of that. Sorry
for the disruption!
Fixes#50865
Fixes#49071
On ld.gold, we produce broken executables when linking with the Musl
libc. This appears to be a known bug when using ld.gold and Musl. This
thread describes the workaround as enabling PIE when using ld.gold and
Musl:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/05/01/5
By default we don’t enable PIE to avoid breaking things. But in the
Musl case we are breaking things by not enabling PIE. So this adds a
special case for defaultHardeningFlags which keeps the pie hardening
for everything. Any packages that break with PIE can add the pie flag
to disableHardeningFlags array (a no-op for now on anything but Musl).
When strictDeps = true, we don’t want native build inputs to end up in
the output. For instance gcc is a builtin native build input and
should only show up in an output if it is also listed in buildInputs.

Uses uname data to find what to set these variables:
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION
- CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME
- CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
- CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_VERSION
Works similarly to `enableParallelBuilding`, but is set by default when
`enableParallelBuilding` is set. In my experience most packages that build
fine in parallel also check fine in parallel.
Derivations where drawing their `system` attribute from `hostPlatform`
instead of `buildPlatform`. Fix that, and add an explanatory commment.
Fixes#45993
