2018-04-27docs: initial manual entry for `lib/debug.nix`Profpatsch1-0/+16
It is more of a stub for now, but at least points to the right file.

2018-04-22haskell: allow overriding all package sets at onceBas van Dijk1-0/+50
Setting haskell.packageOverrides like so: haskell = super.haskell // { packageOverrides = self: super: { my-package = ...; my-other-package = ...; }; }; causes all compiler-specific package sets to be overridden with those overrides.

2018-04-01nixpkgs: remove ancient 'ecj' packageAustin Seipp1-10/+1
Nobody has stepped up to keep maintaining this and it's several years old, and the last strict Java 7 dependency, as it won't work with newer versions without an update. Signed-off-by: Austin Seipp <aseipp@pobox.com>

An example of overriding the `toINI` generator is added, hopefully clarifying the expressiveness of generators.

2018-02-28perlPackages.DBI: Stub out dbd_postamble for cross-compilation.Shea Levy1-1/+2
2018-02-28perlPackages: Add cross-compilation support.Shea Levy1-0/+13
This involved: * Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl * Setting miniperl to take INC from lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be overridden with the cross_perl variant. * Installing perl-cross's stubs into $dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version} * Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation. * Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
2018-02-23lib, treewide: Add missing MIPS arches, and fix existing usageDaniel Barlow1-1/+1
Existing "mips64el" should be "mipsel". This is just the barest minimum so that nixpkgs can recognize them as systems - although required for building individual derivations onto MIPS boards, it is not sufficient if you want to actually build nixos on those targets
2018-02-20BuildRustCrate: more general overrides, and handling the "dylib" crate type ↵Pierre-Etienne Meunier1-2/+33
(#35171) * buildRustCrate: adding a symlink from libblah-xxxxx.so to libblah.so * BuildRustCrate: overriding phases * Carnix: 0.6.5 -> 0.6.6 * Fixing symlink_dependencies --buildDep * Shorter symlink_dependencies * running `runHook postBuild` *after* the build
2018-02-10setup-hooks: Add autoPatchelfHookaszlig1-0/+14
I originally wrote this for packaging proprietary games in Vuizvui[1] but I thought it would be generally useful as we have a fair amount of proprietary software lurking around in nixpkgs, which are a bit tedious to maintain, especially when the library dependencies change after an update. So this setup hook searches for all ELF executables and libraries in the resulting output paths after install phase and uses patchelf to set the RPATH and interpreter according to what dependencies are available inside the builder. For example consider something like this: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook ]; buildInputs = [ mesa zlib ]; ... } Whenever for example an executable requires mesa or zlib, the RPATH will automatically be set to the lib dir of the corresponding dependency. If the library dependency is required at runtime, an attribute called runtimeDependencies can be used to list dependencies that are added to all executables that are discovered unconditionally. Beside this, it also makes initial packaging of proprietary software easier, because one no longer has to manually figure out the dependencies in the first place.

2018-01-09stdenv: Force `doCheck` and `doInstallCheck` to be false when we are cross ↵John Ericson1-13/+16
compiling I hope this will be a temporary measure. If there is consensus around issue #33599, then we can follow an explicit `dontCheck`, but default to not checking during cross builds when none is given.
