In reply to @connorbaker:matrix.org
Does a patched version of freeimage exist, or is it abandoned? If there is a newer version, I’d be interested in whether, as a longer term goal, it’d be possible to update the samples to use it.

It seems there is a fork

https://github.com/danoli3/FreeImage

Readme says:

This GitHub Fork/Patch of FreeImage

  • Numerous Sub-Dependancy patches (Security/Bugs/Latest)
  • With patches applied from nVidia Devs and OpenSource additions
  • CMake Build ability allowing compiling easily for all targets and platforms
00:12:38
@stick:matrix.orgstickI think we should use this instead (not only for cuda-samples but for all nixpkgs)00:13:19
@me:caem.dev@me:caem.dev joined the room.00:48:53
@ruroruro:matrix.orgruroAFAIC, FreeImage is "undead". I think I read that the original devs insist that it is still being maintained, but they are stubbornly stuck on SourceForge and the last official release was in 2018. :sigh:02:59:55
@ruroruro:matrix.orgruro

I guess, the relevant questions would be:

  1. Is it backwards compatible with the older official versions of FreeImage?
  2. Is there some sort of consensus around this fork being a good replacement?
  3. Which CVEs does this fork fix?
  4. Are these fixes verified / documented by whatever authorities published the original CVEs?

@ruroruro:matrix.orgruroTaking a cursory look at that repository, it seems that the original author just commited the whole SVN repo instead of importing the history from SVN, which is kind of annoying/problematic.03:08:43

@stick:matrix.orgstick another option would be to just remove freeImageInteropNPP from the cuda-samples build 08:19:23

by changing SAMPLE_ENABLED := 1 to SAMPLE_ENABLED := 0 here:

08:22:11
@stick:matrix.orgstickor maybe even that is not necessary and the build correctly detects that FreeImage is not available and skips that sample08:23:19
@ruroruro:matrix.orgruroI was under the impression that there were a lot more samples that depended on FreeImage. If this is indeed the only sample that requires FreeImage, then I will simply remove it since I am already going to remove a few broken samples that don't have easy fixes.09:40:54

@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix) They're both aarch64, it can build both, just it doesn't have the runtime 13:29:37
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)

Afaik, the official hydra builders don't build insecure packages, so I am kind of against setting

Yeah but honestly I see no reason for that

13:30:47
@ss:someonex.netSomeoneSerge (back on matrix)

I still think that we should just change freeimage to

That would be lies though?

@ruroruro:matrix.orgruro I think that only 5 samples actually depend on freeimage - FilterBorderControlNPP, boxFilterNPP, cannyEdgeDetectorNPP, freeImageInteropNPP and histEqualizationNPP. That's not that many (given that there are like 200 total or something), so I am probably going to throw my over-engineered freeimage.overrideAttrs chicanery out of the window and just disable these samples by default. 13:56:04

On a related note, can somebody tell me:

  1. Should I prefer linking to libglvnd instead of libGL?
  2. Is it bad if I end up having both libGL and libglvnd in the same closure?
  3. It seems that libglvnd doesn't provide libGLU or libglut. Is there an equivalent vender-neutral dispatch mechanism for those libraries?
