Packaging for NixOS #1170

Open thielema opened 10 months ago

thielema commented 10 months ago

It tried packaging CM3 for the Nix package manager and NixOS by writing this default.nix file: https://github.com/thielema/cm3/blob/nixos/default.nix

nix-build tries to utilize the shipped CMake files itself, but fails because there is something non-standard. Thus I skip Nix's configuration phase. nix-build then builds cm3 but finally fails in its fixup phase with:

...
checking for references to /build/ in /nix/store/dhq2kwr09sa6nihzsnn7rgawz9wsm9i5-cm3-5.11.4...
patchelf: wrong ELF type
patchelf: wrong ELF type
gzipping man pages under /nix/store/dhq2kwr09sa6nihzsnn7rgawz9wsm9i5-cm3-5.11.4/share/man/
patching script interpreter paths in /nix/store/dhq2kwr09sa6nihzsnn7rgawz9wsm9i5-cm3-5.11.4
stripping (with command strip and flags -S -p) in  /nix/store/dhq2kwr09sa6nihzsnn7rgawz9wsm9i5-cm3-5.11.4/lib /nix/store/dhq2kwr09sa6nihzsnn7rgawz9wsm9i5-cm3-5.11.4/bin

We are start going step by step...

1) I propose use most modern reliases.

I.e. mine -)

They are combo of 2-3 modern branch of cm3 team. ( I edit they as minimum as possible)

VictorMiasnikov commented 10 months ago

2) Are You really need stripping?

This can be done by editing source code of cm3

I can prepare special release

VictorMiasnikov commented 10 months ago
  1. Are You really want do not use m3cc part of cm3 ?

But see my latest issue

Plese try do this: A) Build cm3[.exe] from cm3-boot-unix64le.cpp (?) ( This is mono-source_code file) B) Run Boot2min.py c AMD64_LINUX C) Compile m3cc D) Upgrade all ( I may be add command later)

I do not know what Nix does and why, I can just refer to what they tell me: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#chap-quick-start

The issue is not super-important. I just wanted to put my attempt in the public. It could be a way to distribute cm3 as a package for convenient installation. Even more, you can package Modula-3 projects and make them dependent on the cm3 toolchain and system libraries, if required.

( formatting will be fixed later)We have both .rpm and .deb packages of cm3 Modula-3I and others even public packages time to time.But Nix , as I know, use only compiling from source?31.10.2023, 13:35, "thielema" @.***>:

Nix supports both. A compiled package is considered a cashed version of a compiled source package. If we add a Nix package description to the repo at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs, then the package will be precompiled for Linux and Darwin on both Intel and ARM.

Do You can add  cm3-boot-unix64le.cpp ( please name it cm3-exe-only or vice versa as "Nix package description"?4 binary as result are interested31.10.2023, 19:18, "thielema" @.***>:

For now I think there is no more intervention required, because despite the warnings, cm3 seems to work.
