||||||
|
being broken is admittedly a bit fuzzy. If a program
|
||||||
|
<emphasis>ought</emphasis> to work on a certain platform, but doesn't, the
|
||||||
|
platform should be included in <literal>meta.platforms</literal>, but marked
|
||||||
|
as broken with e.g. <literal>meta.broken =
|
||||||
|
!hostPlatform.isWindows</literal>. Of course, this begs the question of what
|
||||||
|
"ought" means exactly. That is left to the package maintainer.

<title>Specifying Dependencies</title>

<para>
|

|
In this section we explore the relationship between both runtime and
|
||||||
|
buildtime dependencies and the 3 Autoconf platforms.

A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the
|
||||||
|
host and target platforms match. This is directly implied by the meaning of
|
||||||
|
"host platform" and "runtime dependency": The package dependency exists
|
||||||
|
while both packages are running on a single host platform.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
A build time dependency, however, implies a shift in platforms between the
|
||||||
|
depending package and the depended-on package. The meaning of a build time
|
||||||
|
dependency is that to build the depending package we need to be able to run
|
||||||
|
the depended-on's package. The depending package's build platform is
|
||||||
|
therefore equal to the depended-on package's host platform. Analogously,
|
||||||
|
the depending package's host platform is equal to the depended-on package's
|
||||||
|
target platform.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the
|
||||||
|
three platforms for all its transitive dependencies. This is the most
|
||||||
|
important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will
|
||||||
|
be called the <wordasword>sliding window principle</wordasword>.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
Some examples will probably make this clearer. If a package is being built
|
||||||
|
with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal> platform triple of
|
||||||
|
<literal>(foo, bar, bar)</literal>, then its build-time dependencies would
|
||||||
|
have a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, bar)</literal>, and <emphasis>those
|
||||||
|
packages'</emphasis> build-time dependencies would have triple of
|
||||||
|
<literal>(foo, foo, foo)</literal>. In other words, it should take two
|
||||||
|
"rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a
|
||||||
|
fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no
|
||||||
|
longer changes. Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only
|
||||||
|
rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide
|
||||||
|
with native packages.

The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding

cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.

How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that
|
||||||
|
build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
|
||||||
|
whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
|
||||||
|
For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build
|
||||||
|
time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time. Now, for
|
||||||
|
most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
|
||||||
|
and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly. Instead,
|
||||||
|
one can use the six (<emphasis>gasp</emphasis>) attributes used for
|
||||||
|
specifying dependencies as documented in
|
||||||
|
<xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-dependencies"/>. We "splice" together the
|
||||||
|
run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>,
|
||||||
|
and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls
|
||||||
|
the right derivation out. This splicing can be skipped when not cross
|
||||||
|
compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross
|
||||||
|
compiling. Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works
|
||||||
|
with no splicing or explicit access of <varname>buildPackages</varname>
|
||||||
|
needed. For now, feel free to use either method.

By default, Rebar3 wants to manage its own dependencies. This is perfectly
|
||||||
|
acceptable in the normal, non-Nix setup, but in the Nix world, it is not.
|
||||||
|
To rectify this, we provide two versions of Rebar3:

# User's Guide to Emscripten in Nixpkgs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Emscripten](https://github.com/kripken/emscripten): An LLVM-to-JavaScript Compiler
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This section of the manual covers how to use `emscripten` in nixpkgs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Minimal requirements:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* nix
|
||||||
|
* nixpkgs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Modes of use of `emscripten`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Imperative usage** (on the command line):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to work with `emcc`, `emconfigure` and `emmake` as you are used to from Ubuntu and similar distributions you can use these commands:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `nix-env -i emscripten`
|
||||||
|
* `nix-shell -p emscripten`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Declarative usage**:
|
||||||
|
|

This mode is far more power full since this makes use of `nix` for dependency management of emscripten libraries and targets by using the `mkDerivation` which is implemented by `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv` and `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`. The source for the packages is in `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix` and the abstraction behind it in `pkgs/development/em-modules/generic/default.nix`.
|
||||||
|
* build and install all packages:
|
||||||
|
* `nix-env -iA emscriptenPackages`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* dev-shell for zlib implementation hacking:
|
||||||
|
* `nix-shell -A emscriptenPackages.zlib`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Imperative usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A few things to note:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` is nice for debugging
|
||||||
|
* `~/.emscripten`, the build artifact cache sometimes creates issues and needs to be removed from time to time
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Declarative usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let's see two different examples from `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `pkgs.zlib.override`
|
||||||
|
* `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Both are interesting concepts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A special requirement of the `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage` is the `doCheck = true` is a default meaning that each emscriptenPackage requires a `checkPhase` implemented.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Use `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` from within a emscriptenPackage's `phase` to get more detailed debug output what is going wrong.
|
||||||
|
* ~/.emscripten cache is requiring us to set `HOME=$TMPDIR` in individual phases. This makes compilation slower but also makes it more deterministic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Usage 1: pkgs.zlib.override
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This example uses `zlib` from nixpkgs but instead of compiling **C** to **ELF** it compiles **C** to **JS** since we were using `pkgs.zlib.override` and changed stdenv to `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv`. A few adaptions and hacks were set in place to make it working. One advantage is that when `pkgs.zlib` is updated, it will automatically update this package as well. However, this can also be the downside...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See the `zlib` example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
zlib = (pkgs.zlib.override {
|
||||||
|
stdenv = pkgs.emscriptenStdenv;
|
||||||
|
}).overrideDerivation
|
||||||
|
(old: rec {
|
||||||
|
buildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [ pkgconfig ];
|
||||||
|
# we need to reset this setting!

### Usage 2: pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This `xmlmirror` example features a emscriptenPackage which is defined completely from this context and no `pkgs.zlib.override` is used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
xmlmirror = pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage rec {
|
||||||
|
name = "xmlmirror";
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
buildInputs = [ pkgconfig autoconf automake libtool gnumake libxml2 nodejs openjdk json_c ];
|
||||||
|
nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgconfig zlib ];
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
src = pkgs.fetchgit {
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
### Declarative debugging
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz` and from there you can go trough the individual steps. This makes it easy to build a good `unit test` or list the files of the project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz`
|
||||||
|
2. `cd /tmp/`
|
||||||
|
3. `unpackPhase`
|
||||||
|
4. cd libz-1.2.3
|
||||||
|
5. `configurePhase`
|
||||||
|
6. `buildPhase`
|
||||||
|
7. ... happy hacking...
|
||||||

||||||
|
## Summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using this toolchain makes it easy to leverage `nix` from NixOS, MacOSX or even Windows (WSL+ubuntu+nix). This toolchain is reproducible, behaves like the rest of the packages from nixpkgs and contains a set of well working examples to learn and adapt from.

### How to override packages in all compiler-specific package sets
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the previous section we learned how to override a package in a single
|
||||||
|
compiler-specific package set. You may have some overrides defined that you want
|
||||||
|
to use across multiple package sets. To accomplish this you could use the
|
||||||
|
technique that we learned in the previous section by repeating the overrides for
|
||||||
|
all the compiler-specific package sets. For example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
|

Idris packages
|
||||||
|
==============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory contains build rules for idris packages. In addition,
|
||||||
|
it contains several functions to build and compose those packages.
|
||||||
|
Everything is exposed to the user via the `idrisPackages` attribute.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
callPackage
|
||||||
|
------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is like the normal nixpkgs callPackage function, specialized to
|
||||||
|
idris packages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
builtins
|
||||||
|
---------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a list of all of the libraries that come packaged with Idris
|
||||||
|
itself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
build-idris-package
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A function to build an idris package. Its sole argument is a set like
|
||||||
|
you might pass to `stdenv.mkDerivation`, except `build-idris-package`
|
||||||
|
sets several attributes for you. See `build-idris-package.nix` for
|
||||||
|
details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
build-builtin-package
|
||||||
|
----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A version of `build-idris-package` specialized to builtin libraries.
|
||||||
|
Mostly for internal use.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
with-packages
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bundle idris together with a list of packages. Because idris currently
|
||||||
|
only supports a single directory in its library path, you must include
|
||||||
|
all desired libraries here, including `prelude` and `base`.

Node.js packages
|
||||||
|
================
|
||||||
|
The `pkgs/development/node-packages` folder contains a generated collection of
|
||||||
|
[NPM packages](https://npmjs.com/) that can be installed with the Nix package
|
||||||
|
manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As a rule of thumb, the package set should only provide *end user* software
|
||||||
|
packages, such as command-line utilities. Libraries should only be added to the
|
||||||
|
package set if there is a non-NPM package that requires it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When it is desired to use NPM libraries in a development project, use the
|
||||||
|
`node2nix` generator directly on the `package.json` configuration file of the
|
||||||
|
project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The package set also provides support for multiple Node.js versions. The policy
|
||||||
|
is that a new package should be added to the collection for the latest stable LTS
|
||||||
|
release (which is currently 6.x), unless there is an explicit reason to support
|
||||||
|
a different release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your package uses native addons, you need to examine what kind of native
|
||||||
|
build system it uses. Here are some examples:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `node-gyp`
|
||||||
|
* `node-gyp-builder`
|
||||||
|
* `node-pre-gyp`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
After you have identified the correct system, you need to override your package
|
||||||
|
expression while adding in build system as a build input. For example, `dat`
|
||||||
|
requires `node-gyp-build`, so we override its expression in `default-v6.nix`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
dat = nodePackages.dat.override (oldAttrs: {
|
||||||
|
buildInputs = oldAttrs.buildInputs ++ [ nodePackages.node-gyp-build ];
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To add a package from NPM to nixpkgs:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v6.json` to add, update
|
||||||
|
or remove package entries. (Or `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v4.json`
|
||||||
|
for packages depending on Node.js 4.x)
|
||||||
|
2. Run the script: `(cd pkgs/development/node-packages && ./generate.sh)`.
|
||||||
|
3. Build your new package to test your changes:
|
||||||
|
`cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
|
||||||
|
To build against a specific Node.js version (e.g. 4.x):
|

Nixpkgs has experimental support for cross-compiling Perl modules. In many

cases, it will just work out of the box, even for modules with native

|
extensions. Sometimes, however, the Makefile.PL for a module may

(indirectly) import a native module. In that case, you will need to make a

stub for that module that will satisfy the Makefile.PL and install it into

Qt 5 maintains strict backward compatibility, so it is generally best to
|
||||||
|
build an application package against the latest version using the
|
||||||
|
<varname>libsForQt5</varname> library set. In case a package does not build
|
||||||
|
with the latest Qt version, it is possible to pick a set pinned to a
|
||||||
|
particular version, e.g. <varname>libsForQt55</varname> for Qt 5.5, if that
|
||||||
|
is the latest version the package supports. If a package must be pinned to
|
||||||
|
an older Qt version, be sure to file a bug upstream; because Qt is strictly
|
||||||
|
backwards-compatible, any incompatibility is by definition a bug in the
|
||||||
|
application.

R packages
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Define an environment for R that contains all the libraries that you'd like to
|
||||||
|
use by adding the following snippet to your $HOME/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rEnv = super.rWrapper.override {
|
||||||
|
packages = with self.rPackages; [
|
||||||
|
devtools
|
||||||
|
ggplot2
|
||||||
|
reshape2
|
||||||
|
yaml
|
||||||
|
optparse
|
||||||
|
];
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then you can use `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rEnv` to install it into your user
|
||||||
|
profile. The set of available libraries can be discovered by running the
|
||||||
|
command `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A rPackages`. The first column from that
|
||||||
|
output is the name that has to be passed to rWrapper in the code snipped above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, if you'd like to add a file to your project source to make the
|
||||||
|
environment available for other contributors, you can create a `default.nix`
|
||||||
|
file like so:
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
let
|
||||||
|
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||||
|
stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
|
||||||
|
in with pkgs; {
|
||||||
|
myProject = stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||||||
|
name = "myProject";
|
||||||
|
version = "1";
|
||||||
|
src = if pkgs.lib.inNixShell then null else nix;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
buildInputs = with rPackages; [
|
||||||
|
R
|
||||||
|
ggplot2
|
||||||
|
knitr
|
||||||
|
];
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
and then run `nix-shell .` to be dropped into a shell with those packages
|
||||||
|
available.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## RStudio
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RStudio uses a standard set of packages and ignores any custom R
|
||||||
|
environments or installed packages you may have. To create a custom
|
||||||
|
environment, see `rstudioWrapper`, which functions similarly to
|
||||||
|
`rWrapper`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rstudioEnv = super.rstudioWrapper.override {
|
||||||
|
packages = with self.rPackages; [
|
||||||
|
dplyr
|
||||||
|
ggplot2
|
||||||
|
reshape2
|
||||||
|
];
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then like above, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rstudioEnv` will install
|
||||||
|
this into your user profile.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Alternatively, you can create a self-contained `shell.nix` without the need to
|
||||||
|
modify any configuration files:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}
|
||||||
|
}:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pkgs.rstudioWrapper.override {
|
||||||
|
packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ dplyr ggplot2 reshape2 ];
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Executing `nix-shell` will then drop you into an environment equivalent to the
|
||||||
|
one above. If you need additional packages just add them to the list and
|
||||||
|
re-enter the shell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Updating the package set
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
nix-shell generate-shell.nix
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rscript generate-r-packages.R cran > cran-packages.nix.new
|
||||||
|
mv cran-packages.nix.new cran-packages.nix
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rscript generate-r-packages.R bioc > bioc-packages.nix.new
|
||||||
|
mv bioc-packages.nix.new bioc-packages.nix
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`generate-r-packages.R <repo>` reads `<repo>-packages.nix`, therefor the renaming.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Testing if the Nix-expression could be evaluated
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
nix-build test-evaluation.nix --dry-run
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If this exits fine, the expression is ok. If not, you have to edit `default.nix`

## Setting Up `nix-shell`
|
||||||
|
Oftentimes you want to develop code from within `nix-shell`. Unfortunately
|
||||||
|
`buildRustCrate` does not support common `nix-shell` operations directly
|
||||||
|
(see [this issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/37945))
|
||||||
|
so we will use `stdenv.mkDerivation` instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using the example `hello` project above, we want to do the following:
|
||||||
|
- Have access to `cargo` and `rustc`
|
||||||
|
- Have the `openssl` library available to a crate through it's _normal_
|
||||||
|
compilation mechanism (`pkg-config`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A typical `shell.nix` might look like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||||||
|
name = "rust-env";
|
||||||
|
buildInputs = [
|
||||||
|
rustc cargo
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Example Additional Dependencies
|
||||||
|
pkgconfig openssl
|
||||||
|
];
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Set Environment Variables
|
||||||
|
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should now be able to run the following:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ nix-shell --pure
|
||||||
|
$ cargo build
|
||||||
|
$ cargo test
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Controlling Rust Version Inside `nix-shell`
|
||||||
|
To control your rust version (i.e. use nightly) from within `shell.nix` (or
|
||||||
|
other nix expressions) you can use the following `shell.nix`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# Latest Nightly
|
||||||
|
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||||
|
let src = fetchFromGitHub {
|
||||||
|
owner = "mozilla";
|
||||||
|
repo = "nixpkgs-mozilla";
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
sha256 = "034m1dryrzh2lmjvk3c0krgip652dql46w5yfwpvh7gavd3iypyw";
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
in
|
||||||
|
with import "${src.out}/rust-overlay.nix" pkgs pkgs;
|
||||||
|
stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||||||
|
name = "rust-env";
|
||||||
|
buildInputs = [
|
||||||
|
# Note: to use use stable, just replace `nightly` with `stable`
|
||||||
|
latest.rustChannels.nightly.rust
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Add some extra dependencies from `pkgs`
|
||||||
|
pkgconfig openssl
|
||||||
|
];
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Set Environment Variables
|
||||||
|
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now run:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ rustc --version

||||||
|

||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

|

<para>
|
||||||
|
A commonly adopted convention in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> is that
|
||||||
|
executables provided by the package are contained within its first output.
|
||||||
|
This convention allows the dependent packages to reference the executables
|
||||||
|
provided by packages in a uniform manner. For instance, provided with the
|
||||||
|
knowledge that the <literal>perl</literal> package contains a
|
||||||
|
<literal>perl</literal> executable it can be referenced as
|
||||||
|
<literal>${pkgs.perl}/bin/perl</literal> within a Nix derivation that needs
|
||||||
|
to execute a Perl script.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
The <literal>glibc</literal> package is a deliberate single exception to
|
||||||
|
the <quote>binaries first</quote> convention. The <literal>glibc</literal>
|
||||||
|
has <literal>libs</literal> as its first output allowing the libraries
|
||||||
|
provided by <literal>glibc</literal> to be referenced directly (e.g.
|
||||||
|
<literal>${stdenv.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2</literal>). The
|
||||||
|
executables provided by <literal>glibc</literal> can be accessed via its
|
||||||
|
<literal>bin</literal> attribute (e.g.
|
||||||
|
<literal>${stdenv.glibc.bin}/bin/ldd</literal>).
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
The reason for why <literal>glibc</literal> deviates from the convention is
|
||||||
|
because referencing a library provided by <literal>glibc</literal> is a
|
||||||
|
very common operation among Nix packages. For instance, third-party
|
||||||
|
executables packaged by Nix are typically patched and relinked with the
|
||||||
|
relevant version of <literal>glibc</literal> libraries from Nix packages
|
||||||
|
(please see the documentation on
|
||||||
|
