| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Not strictly stdenv, but very stdenv-adjacent. Would appreciate some eyes from on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/379426. The ctest ugliness has been bugging me, so I whipped up this POC as a separate hook first without going through stdenv. | 07:36:17 |

 truby | I wanted to test something from gcc's git master branch, is it difficult to get a stdenv with a gcc built from there? I tried the obvious (overriding gcc-unwrapped's src = ..) and it doesn't build, it seems to still be trying to apply patches even though I have patches = [];
Am I missing something to get this working, or is it just more difficult than this? | 14:10:44 |

Am I missing something to get this working, or is it just more difficult than this? Use replaceStdenv? | 16:09:52 |
| truby | My issue is actually getting the unwrapped gcc from a specific git hash I guess, rather than wrapping that into a stdenv | 16:10:52 |

 @trofi:matrix.org | vcunat: do you remember what needed --oldincludedir= in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/def75f028240ce2d38ec8e0707cc886c8b7596a4#diff-d5ce1dbe37e35a5baa932aac914a2f1a32ac46267f9400f2fff393f31d4aa44bR36 ? Looking at https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html it feels like it's something that predates gcc. It now breaks sqlite-3.49.0 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/373944#issuecomment-2645813426
And I wonder if we should just drop --oldincludedir= completely.

| @trofi:matrix.org | cmake hook also added it with DCMAKE_INSTALL_OLDINCLUDEDIR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/c0d2f924590918b0176aaf1f84ccf372ce4f13c4 . I suspect just to follow stdenv. | 16:24:37 |
 vcunat | No, I don't recall at all. It's been a bit long :-) | 16:24:40 |
| @trofi:matrix.org | :) | 16:25:00 |
| @trofi:matrix.org | Proposed the removal as https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/380400 | 16:51:24 |
| @trofi:matrix.org | Also asked on #macos:nixos.org if it's used by any chance there (AFAIU it should not be load-bearing) | 16:53:25 |

 @rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nl | Probably yeah | 10:57:31 |

 p14 | I'm seeing something quite weird with gmpxx whereby it will succeed/fail at the configure stage checking build system compiler gcc... yes based on something bogus in the environment. I'm wondering whether its success/failure is actually conditioned on something arbitrary relating to what's in the environment somehow. I've made a build hook; with makeSetupHook which I'm putting in the stdenv's extraNativeBuildInputs. Loads of other packages build fine but not gmpxx. I can comment out preBuildHooks+=(something) or put it back, and this makes it pass/fail. The compiler detection fails unable to find libc. | 11:03:37 |
| p14 | Interestingly a develop shell reliably fails so I can't figure out why it's working in the working case. | 11:04:49 |
| p14 | I think I'm hitting a variant of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/265121, that the buildPackages.stdenv.cc doesn't work as expected in a pkgsLLVM environment. | 11:05:35 |
| p14 | (because gmpxx uses this) | 11:05:45 |
