[PATCH] gnu: Add fontconfig-path-max.

[rennes]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 636 bytes --]

Hello Guix team,

i'm doing tests whith GNU Guix on GNU Hurd, compiling fontconfig and 
there is an error during compilation:

a) fontconfig uses the constant PATH_MAX.

Reviewing the documentation about the treatment of constant for Hurd; 
i've attached a patch for review.

References:
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/maxpath.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/porting/guidelines.html

and i've a couple of questions about:

a) How Guix identify if it is a Linux or Hurd system at compile or 
install the package?.
b) i searches in ML an example, but i not found.



Thanks for your time.

Rene

Hello Rennes,

I am sorry for the long delay, I somehow missed the patch. Leo thank you
for telling me.

Currently we apply patches regardless of where it is running.

But one way to check the system is like in (gnu packages base)

(define* (glibc-for-target #:optional
                           (target (or (%current-target-system)
                                       (%current-system))))
  "Return the glibc for TARGET, GLIBC/LINUX for a Linux host or
GLIBC/HURD for a Hurd host"
  (match target
    ((or "i586-pc-gnu" "i586-gnu") glibc/hurd)
    (_ glibc/linux)))

If %current-target-system is not #f then we are cross-building for the
value inside it. %current-system has the value of the system we are
running on.

Now regarding the patch, what is the status on upstream? Are those
fontconfig patches present in fontconfig upstream?

Other than that, it looks good to me.

Thank you for helping on this,
Manolis.

The current release is 2.12.0, and still uses the constant PATH_MAX.
And I have not found any related patch for this detail.

Could you send the related patches to fontconfig upstream and see what
they think about them?

Thank you,

I will analyze and send the patches. For now I will use the Debian patch 
suggested by Ludo.

Rather use (search-patches …).

I would join the two patches in a single ‘fontconfig-path-max.patch’.

The file needs to be added in gnu/local.mk.

Manolis: do you think you could apply it to ‘core-updates-next’ with
these changes?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

With these changes, the code compiles but will crash at run time,
because ‘f’ and ‘buf’ are dangling pointers.

We should instead use ‘01_path_max.patch’ from
<http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fontconfig/fontconfig_2.11.0-6.3.debian.tar.xz>.

(In general, for PATH_MAX issues, Debian very likely already has a
patch.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I attached the updated patch.

The code has changed in the current version, I used the version 2.12.0 
of the package to update the patch.

how i know if the program will crash at run time?.


Thanks for your guide

You could build it on GNU/Linux, using:

  ./pre-inst-env guix build fontconfig -K

Hopefully Fontconfig’s test suite would trigger the crash, but manual
testing might be needed too.

This is not OK, in part because it introduces a memory leak.  The fix
should be along the same lines as the rest of the patch.

Could you check whether Debian has a patch for a more recent version of
Fontconfig?

As you suggested, I used the same logic to make this part of patch.

The version (2.11.0-6.3) is the last version, and not contain a patch 
for fcstat.c file. It is possible that the Debian team has not had 
problems with this file to compile.

There is a Workaround that suggests mailing lists freedesktop.

Thanks for the comments.

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add fontconfig-path-max.

I issue the command on GNU/Linux and GNU Hurd:

   ./pre-inst-env guix build fontconfig -K

and compile correctly. How I do manual testing?
