* If NIX_DEBUG is turned on (set to "1"), autoconf configure scripts may fail to find the correct preprocessor: checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp * When building gcc using a Nix gcc, generated libraries link against the libraries of the latter: $ ldd /nix/store/3b1d3995c4edbf026be5c73f66f69245-gcc-3.3.3/lib/libstdc++.so ... libgcc_s.so.1 => /nix/store/1f19e61d1b7051f1131f78b41b2a0e7e-gcc-3.3.2/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x400de000) (wrong! should be .../3b1d.../lib/libgcc_s...) ... * Subtle problems can occur if the Nix store directory or one of its parents is a symlink. E.g., purity checks can barf: impure path `/data/nix/store/099cd9aee7d056a9922fd6dd116a3f5c-gcc-3.3.3/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/crtbegin.o' used in link (This happened because /nix was a symlink to /data/nix.) Maybe we should disallow this entirely, since, exactly because it is perfectly legal for a builder to expand a symlink, we can end up with derivates referring to paths that existed in the build environment but not in the target environment. Disallowing this can be highly inconvenient, since it makes it harder to move the Nix store to a different file system. (On Linux, `bind' mounts can help here.) * In libXt: /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/nix/store/aadf0bd4a908da11d14f6538503b8408-libX11-6.2.1/include -I/nix/store/ba366e3b944ead64ec9b0490bb615874-xproto-6.6.1/include -I./include/X11 -g -O2 -c -o ActionHook.lo `test -f 'ActionHook.c' || echo './'`ActionHook.c mkdir .libs gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/nix/store/aadf0bd4a908da11d14f6538503b8408-libX11-6.2.1/include -I/nix/store/ba366e3b944ead64ec9b0490bb615874-xproto-6.6.1/include -I./include/X11 -g -O2 -c ActionHook.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ActionHook.o In file included from IntrinsicI.h:55, from ActionHook.c:69: include/X11/IntrinsicP.h:54:27: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory * Then: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DXTHREADS -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API -I/nix/store/aadf0bd4a908da11d14f6538503b8408-libX11-6.2.1/include -I/nix/store/ba366e3b944ead64ec9b0490bb615874-xproto-6.6.1/include -I./include -I./include/X11 -g -O2 -c ActionHook.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ActionHook.o In file included from IntrinsicI.h:55, from ActionHook.c:69: include/X11/IntrinsicP.h:202:25: X11/ObjectP.h: No such file or directory (moved to include/X11; should edit include/Makefile.am) * Doesn't parse: {stdenv, fetchurl /* pkgconfig, libX11 */ }: stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "libXi-6.0.1"; src = fetchurl { url = http://freedesktop.org/~xlibs/release/libXi-6.0.1.tar.bz2; md5 = "7e935a42428d63a387b3c048be0f2756"; }; /* buildInputs = [pkgconfig]; propagatedBuildInputs = [libX11]; */ } * Add "exit 0" at the end of configure of rte package. * In stdenv/nix/path.nix: remove gcc.
