Peter Simons c7d3f60217 cabal: add support for "editedCabalFile" attribute to address https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/issues/84
When 'editedCabalFile' is set to an SHA256 hash, the build driver replaces the
original Cabal instructions with the new version that is downloaded from
"http://hackage.haskell.org/package/${fname}/${pname}.cabal".

Peter Simons 44273088ad cabal: enable multi-threaded builds with GHC 7.8.x or later for executables
Multi-threaded builds exacerbate the non-determinism in ghc package ids, which
is a serious problem for libraries. Packages that define only executables,
however, should be safe to  build with parallelism enabled.

Peter Simons 40bb2781ee cabal: add "-hidir $TMPDIR" parameter to ghc call that compiles Setup.hs
Packages that don't have a Setup.hs file get to use a default version that
lives in the Nix store. By default ghc tries to put the Setup.o and Setup.hi
files in the same directory as the source file, which isn't writable. This
leads to build errors [1]. Thus, we re-direct those paths to a build-local
writable location: $TMPDIR.

Arguably, we could also use "." or copy the /nix/store/deadbeef-Setup.hs file
into the local source directory before compiling, which would work fine, too.

Peter Simons 7a20d76482 Disable all Haskell builds for Darwin on Hydra.
Hydra generates a GHC closure for Darwin that for no apparent reason
contains an ancient, broken Haddock binary -- probably because of an
impurity in the build system. That bug makes those GHC binaries
unusable: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/2689>.

Shea Levy a3ffe238e7 Revert "cabal: enable multi-threaded builds with GHC 7.8.x or later"

Peter Simons fd0f9e6fc1 Re-write the Haskell Platform out of haskell-defaults.nix.
1) Packages formerly called haskell-haskell-platform-ghcXYZ-VVVV.X.Y.Z are
    now called haskell-platform-VVVV.X.Y.Z. The latest version can be
    installed by running "nix-env -i haskell-platform".

 2) The attributes haskellPackages_ghcXYZ.haskellPlatform no longer exist.
    Instead, we have attributes like haskellPlatformPackages."2012_4_0_0".
    (The last numeric bit must be quoted when used in a Nix file, but not on
    the command line to nix-env, nix-build, etc.) The latest Platform has a
    top-level alias called simply haskellPlatform.

 3) The haskellPackages_ghcXYZ package sets offer the latest version of every
    library that GHC x.y.z can compile. For example, if 2.7 is the latest
    version of QuickCheck and if GHC 7.0.4 can compile that version, then
    haskellPackages_ghc704.QuickCheck refers to version 2.7.

 4) All intermediate GHC releases were dropped from all-packages.nix to
    simplify our configuration. What remains is a haskellPackages_ghcXYZ set
    for the latest version of every major release branch, i.e. GHC 6.10.4,
    6.12.3, 7.0.4, 7.2.2, 7.4.2, 7.6.3, 7.8.2, and 7.9.x (HEAD snapshot).

 5) The ghcXYZPrefs functions in haskell-defaults.nix now inherit overrides
    from newer to older compilers, i.e. an override configured for GHC 7.0.4
    will automatically apply to GHC 6.12.3 and 6.10.4, too. This change has
    reduced the redundancy in those configuration functions. The downside is
    that overriding an attribute for only one particular GHC version has become
    more difficult. In practice, this case doesn't occur much, though.

 6) The 'cabal' builder has a brand-new argument called 'extension'. That
    function is "self : super : {}" by default and users can override it to
    mess with the attribute set passed to cabal.mkDerivation. An example use
    would be the definition of darcs in all-packages.nix:

    | darcs = haskellPackages.darcs.override {
    |   cabal = haskellPackages.cabal.override {
    |     extension = self : super : {
    |       isLibrary = false;
    |       configureFlags = "-f-library " + super.configureFlags or "";
    |     };
    |   };
    | };

    In this case, extension disables building the library part of the package
    to give us an executable-only version that has no dependencies on GHC or
    any other Haskell packages.

    The 'self' argument refers to the final version of the attribute set and
    'super' refers to the original attribute set.

Note that ...

 - Haskell Platform packages always provide the Haddock binary that came with
   the compiler.

 - Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 is broken because of build failures in cgi and
   cabal-install.

 - Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 is broken becasue of build failures in cgi.

Peter Simons 5849a91e8d pkgs/build-support/cabal: revert "the release version of GHC 7.8.x no longer requires"
This reverts commit a2a398fbda. The
issue *does* still exist in GHC 7.8.2. Compiled binaries have no -rpath
into their own install directory ("$out") and thus cannot find their own
shared libraries. To work around this issue, we pass an explicit -rpath
argument at configure time. We do that only on Linux, though, because
-rpath is known to cause trouble on Darwin, which was the reason I
originally reverted that patch.

Peter Simons 631ad32b5d pkgs/build-support/cabal: the configure-phase warning check can be
disabled by setting 'strictConfigurePhase' to 'false'

This is necessary for some packages, like dns, because cabal warns about
multiple versions of the same dependency being used, but the usage is fine,
actually, so we want the build to succeed. Packages that depend on 'doctest'
also have this issue <https://github.com/sol/doctest-haskell/issues/69>.

Benno Fünfstück ebdff3841a haskell: Propagate cabal dependencies to user env
Before this commit, if a haskell library X depends on Y, and X was added to
systemPackages, only X would be available in the user environment. Y
would not be avialable, which causes X to be broken. This commit solves
the issue by setting propagatedUserEnvPkgs to all packages X depends
on when X is a library.

Peter Simons ea20904aef cabal: add support for the enableStaticLibrary flag to enable/disable building of static libraries
Disabling static libraries is supported only in GHC 7.7 or later.
2013-12-10 20:41:36 +01:00
Peter Simons d64917ad17 Back-port Haskell-related improvements from stdenv-updates.
* There now is full support for building Haskell packages as shared libraries
   for GHC versions 7.4.2 or later. The Cabal builder recognizes the following
   attributes:

    - enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries in
      addition to static ones. This option requires that all dependencies of
      the package have been compiled for use in shared libraries, too.

    - enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
      linking executables.

   The default values for these attributes are arguments to the haskellPackages
   expression.

 * Haskell builds now run in a LANG="en_US.UTF-8" environment to avoid plenty
   of build and test suite errors. Without this setting, GHC seems unable to
   deal with the UTF-8 character encoding that's generally considered standard
   in the Haskell world.

 * The Cabal builder supports a new attribute 'testTarget' to specify the exact
   set of tests to be run during the check phase.

 * The ghc-wrapper attribute ghcVersion has been removed. Instead, we use the
   ghc.version attribute, which exists in unwrapped GHC derivations, too.

Peter Simons 6f1cec9acb haskell-packages.nix: fix the implementation of 'cabalNoTest'
The previous implementation used the following tying-the-knot trickery to
override 'doCheck' to false for the given build:

  cabalNoTest = {
    mkDerivation = x: rec {
      final = self.cabal.mkDerivation (self: (x final) // { doCheck = false; });
    }.final;
  };

That seemed to work, but for some reason it caused trouble with some builds --
not all -- that use jailbreakCabal. The problem was the 'stdenv' attribute
couldn't be evaluated properly anymore:

I tried to figure out why this happens, but eventually gave up. The new
implementation passes an argument called 'enableCheckPhase' to the Cabal
builder, which determines whether the user-specified doCheck value has any
effect or not. Now, a normal override can be used to disable unit testing.

Peter Simons dd13aa9c94 pkgs/build-support/cabal: add 'enableSplitObjs' field to enable/disable object splitting
This patch configures all Cabal builds with '--enable-split-objs' unless the
Nix expression explicitly sets "enableSplitObjs = false". The Cabal manual [1]
describes this option as follows:

 | The GHC -split-objs reduces the final size of the executables that use the
 | library by allowing them to link with only the bits that they use rather
 | than the entire library. The downside is that building the library takes
 | longer and uses considerably more memory.

One immediate benefit of this change is that the 'darcs' closure defined in the
top-level no longer refers to GHC. The same is probably true with other
executable packages.
