We patch gobject-introspection somewhat heavily, so add some unit tests that
will catch potential errors when we're eg. updating the patches.
There's two tests:
- Basic test for absolute nix store paths (testing absolute_shlib_path.patch)
- Test for macos `@rpath` sanitizing, including
fallback_libpath (macos-shared-library.patch)
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
64d50a0099 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.
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.
