2019-07-03autoconf: Implement release tarball detection. Fixes #257.Niklas Hambüchen
This should finally allow us to address all cases of build errors due to differences between release tarballs and building from git. See also https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/506#issuecomment-507312587
2019-07-03autoconf: Add comment on use of `false`.Niklas Hambüchen
This is to avoid confusion as in commit a0d29040f79b365598fe75d01f72d29ab538206b.
2019-07-03autoconf: Check if --nonet works. Fixes #967 #506.Niklas Hambüchen
Also give a helpful error message on what package the user likely has to install to make it work.
2019-07-03Get BOOST_LDFLAGS from autoconf, fix Ubuntu 16.04 build.Niklas Hambüchen
Our use of boost::coroutine2 depends on -lboost_context, which in turn depends on `-lboost_thread`, which in turn depends on `-lboost_system`. I suspect that this builds on nix only because of low-level hacks like NIX_LDFLAGS. This commit passes the proper linker flags, thus fixing bootstrap builds on non-nix distributions like Ubuntu 16.04. With these changes, I can build Nix on Ubuntu 16.04 using: ./bootstrap.sh ./configure --prefix=$HOME/editline-prefix \ --disable-doc-gen \ CXX=g++-7 \ --with-boost=$HOME/boost-prefix \ EDITLINE_CFLAGS=-I$HOME/editline-prefix/include \ EDITLINE_LIBS=-leditline \ LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/editline-prefix/lib make where * g++-7 comes from gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test, * editline 1.14 from https://github.com/troglobit/editline/releases/tag/1.14.0 was installed into `$HOME/editline-prefix` (because Ubuntu 16.04's `editline` is too old to have the function nix uses), * boost 1.66 from https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html was installed into $HOME/boost-prefix (because Ubuntu 16.04 only has 1.58)
2019-07-03autoconf: Allow overriding CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS from outside.Niklas Hambüchen
As is normal for autoconf-based projects. For example, it is a common use case to do ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O0 This did not work for nix until now, because the `CXXFLAGS=` declaration would unconditionally erase what the user had specified. The custom `OPTIMIZE` flag is removed, but the default `-O3` is retained; autoconf would default to `-g -O2` by default otherwise as documented on: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C-Compiler.html https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C_002b_002b-Compiler.html
2019-07-03autoconf: Fix AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE being used before AC_PROG_CC.Niklas Hambüchen
That was incorrect, because checking the dirent type already requires a working compiler. It had the effect that setting e.g. `: ${CFLAGS=""}` before `AC_PROG_CC` as per `AC_PROG_CC`'s documentation would have no effect, because `AC_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE` would automatically set CFLASGS. (In a followup commit `: ${CFLAGS=""}` will be used, so it's important to get this working first.)
2019-07-03autoconf: Fix C++17 detection not working on Ubuntu 16.04.Niklas Hambüchen
And probably many other distributions. Until now, ./configure would fail silently printing a warning ./configure: line 4621: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17: command not found and then continuing, later failing with a C++ #error saying that some C++11 feature isn't supported (it didn't even get to the C++17 features). This is because older distributions don't come with the `AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17` m4 macro. This commit vendors that macro accordingly. Now ./configure complains correctly: configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required. On Ubuntu 16.04, ./configure completes if a newer compiler is used, e.g. with gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test using: ./bootstrap.sh ./configure CXX=g++-7 --disable-doc-gen --with-boost=$(nix-build --no-link '<nixpkgs>' -A boost.dev)
2019-07-03autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.Niklas Hambüchen
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases. Also update manual stating what version is needed; I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles, and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release that nix uses.
2019-07-03autoconf: Detect boost, require version, set CXXFLAGS.Niklas Hambüchen
This turns previous compiler errors complaining about missing files into proper ./configure time errors telling the user which version of boost is required.
2019-07-03autoconf: Change quotes in description.Niklas Hambüchen
The unbalanced single-quotes cause many editor syntax highlighters to interpret the rest of the file as a string literal, making it easier to make syntax mistakes in absence of proper highlighting.

This tells Nix to not build the shared libraries.

Remove some bashisms from configure.ac
2019-01-07Don't look for a "pv" program, or mention it in the manual sourceJohn Ericson
The manual reference was commented out, and the sole reference to this program other than the configure script. Removed both.

2018-12-30Remove some bashisms from configure.acMateusz Piotrowski
"configure.ac" is used to generate "configure", which is supposed to be run with /bin/sh (as suggested by the shebang line of "configure"). As a result it is a good idea to remove any /bin/sh-incompatible syntax from configure.ac. Otherwise, systems that do not use Bash as their /bin/sh are unable to run "configure" due to syntax errors.

2018-02-19configure.ac: define HAVE_SECCOMP macro when using seccomp, fix build/testsWill Dietz
Happily the failing tests should prevent anyone from using such a Nix in situations where they expect sandboxing to be on, which would otherwise be a risk.

2018-01-29configure: Use $CPP instead of cpp directlyBen Gamari
The latter breaks in the case of cross-compilation, when `cpp` bears a target prefix.
2017-12-30use libbrotli directly when availableWill Dietz
* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command, since upstream has renamed it in newer versions. If neither are found, current runtime behavior is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH. * Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner. Testing shows negligible performance impact. (Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)
2017-12-22Check aws-sdk-cpp versionEelco Dolstra
2017-05-29Add a seccomp filter to prevent creating setuid/setgid binariesEelco Dolstra
This prevents builders from setting the S_ISUID or S_ISGID bits, preventing users from using a nixbld* user to create a setuid/setgid binary to interfere with subsequent builds under the same nixbld* uid. This is based on aszlig's seccomp code (47f587700d646f5b03a42f2fa57c28875a31efbe). Reported by Linus Heckemann.
2017-05-15Add --with-sandbox-shell configure flagEelco Dolstra
And add a 116 KiB ash shell from busybox to the release build. This helps to make sandbox builds work out of the box on non-NixOS systems and with diverted stores.
2017-05-10Replace readline by linenoiseEelco Dolstra
Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

2017-03-15Add support for brotli compressionEelco Dolstra
Build logs on cache.nixos.org are compressed using Brotli (since this allows them to be decompressed automatically by Chrome and Firefox), so it's handy if "nix log" can decompress them.
