This is very confusing. “stdenv” is created from the parent stage so
pkgsTargetTarget.stdenv.cc is a compiler that runs /on/ host platform
and creates binaries for target platform. gfortran on the other hand
is not special cased like stdenv, so the equivalent to
pkgsTargetTarget.stdenv.cc is pkgsHostTarget.gfortran.
I’ve rewritten this to be a little less confusing, “pkgsHostTarget” is
equivalent to “pkgs” so it is unneeded. All that is left is
“pkgsTargetTarget.stdenv” which is equivalent to
“targetPackages.stdenv”.

flat hashes can be substituted through hashed-mirrors, while recursive
hashes can’t. This is especially important for Bazel since the bazel
fetch dependencies can come from multiple different methods (git,
http, ftp, etc.). To do this, we create tar archives from the
output/external directory, which is then extracted to build. All of
the Bazel hashes are all updated.
When using netlib lapack/blas, the section name doesn’t match what
numpy expects. So we need to add extra sections for both so that the
right directory is found. The original “blas.implementation” section
may not actually be still required, but it is still a good idea so
that numpy know whether to apply any blas-implementation specific
quirks.

This option can be used to set the “jit” language which enable the
libgccjit functionality. Also adds a “libgccjit” attr which is gcc
built with just jit enabled.
libgccjit is a library but is used as a compiler. So it references a
bunch of compiler things in $out. To avoid a cycle, we need to put
everything in $out, so referenced to $lib need to be replaced with
${!outputLib}.
Not all systems need to be online to boot up. So, don’t pull
network-online.target into multi-user.target. Services that need
online network can still require it.
This increases my boot time from ~9s to ~5s.
These .desktop files set InitialPreference>1 which will override other
associations even the .desktop appears first in XDG_DATA_DIRS. This
applies to:
- org.kde.kate.desktop
- org.kde.kwrite.desktop
- kfmclient_html.desktop
- okularApplication_txt.desktop

This is a better name since we have multiple 64-bit things that could
be referred to.
LP64 : integer=32, long=64, pointer=64
ILP64 : integer=64, long=64, pointer=64
For imports, it is better to use ‘modulesPath’ than rely on <nixpkgs>
being correctly set. Some users may not have <nixpkgs> set correctly.
In addition, when ‘pure-eval=true’, <nixpkgs> is unset.
This makes packages use lapack and blas, which can wrap different
BLAS/LAPACK implementations.
treewide: cleanup from blas/lapack changes
A few issues in the original treewide:
- can’t assume blas64 is a bool
- unused commented code
This is based on previous work for switching between BLAS and LAPACK
implementation in Debian[1] and Gentoo[2]. The goal is to have one way
to depend on the BLAS/LAPACK libraries that all packages must use. The
attrs “blas” and “lapack” are used to represent a wrapped BLAS/LAPACK
provider. Derivations that don’t care how BLAS and LAPACK are
implemented can just use blas and lapack directly. If you do care what
you get (perhaps for some CPP), you should verify that blas and lapack
match what you expect with an assertion.
The “blas” package collides with the old “blas” reference
implementation. This has been renamed to “blas-reference”. In
addition, “lapack-reference” is also included, corresponding to
“liblapack” from Netlib.org.
Currently, there are 3 providers of the BLAS and LAPACK interfaces:
- lapack-reference: the BLAS/LAPACK implementation maintained by netlib.org
- OpenBLAS: an optimized version of BLAS and LAPACK
- MKL: Intel’s unfree but highly optimized BLAS/LAPACK implementation
By default, the above implementations all use the “LP64” BLAS and
LAPACK ABI. This corresponds to “openblasCompat” and is the safest way
to use BLAS/LAPACK. You may received some benefits from “ILP64” or
8-byte integer BLAS at the expense of breaking compatibility with some
packages.
This can be switched at build time with an override like:
import <nixpkgs> {
config.allowUnfree = true;
overlays = [(self: super: {
lapack = super.lapack.override {
lapackProvider = super.lapack-reference;
};
blas = super.blas.override {
blasProvider = super.lapack-reference;
};
})];
}
or, switched at runtime via LD_LIBRARY_PATH like:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(nix-build -E '(with import <nixpkgs> {}).lapack.override { lapackProvider = pkgs.mkl; is64bit = true; })')/lib:$(nix-build -E '(with import <nixpkgs> {}).blas.override { blasProvider = pkgs.mkl; is64bit = true; })')/lib ./your-blas-linked-binary
By default, we use OpenBLAS LP64 also known in Nixpkgs as
openblasCompat.

hashed-mirrors are content addressed. So if $outputHash is in the
hashed-mirror, changes from ‘postFetch’ would already be made. So,
running postFetch will end up applying the change /again/, which we
don’t want.
kwallet sets a limit of 1000 for a single characters for environment
variables read from the socket[1]. wrapQtApps gives us a huge value
for QT_PLUGIN_PATH (up to 13000 bytes on my system!) Since this was
overflowing, the Qt plugin loading mechanism was hitting a segfault
when it was trying to parse the truncated QT_PLUGIN_PATH.
So for now, we can just unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH in the pam_kwallet_init
script. kwalletd5 has its own QT_PLUGIN_PATH which it can use.
This problem occured on 20.03, but not 19.09. It’s unclear what
changes were made in that time, but likely that previously we weren’t
getting a QT_PLUGIN_PATH set in the plasma5 startup at all. This means
that in 19.09 our QT_PLUGIN_PATH value must have been small enough to
fit into the 1000 char limit.

- Needs to be like <cpu>-<os>-gcc.
- Remove unneeded --enable-external-build flag
This confuses the feature detection and is not needed for cross
compilation anymore.
This prevents duplication in cross-compiled nixos machines. The
bootstrapped glibc differs from the natively compiled one, so we get
two glibc’s in the closure. To reduce closure size, just use
stdenv.cc.libc where available.
