Hi!

As discussed on IRC, I tried to apply perl-cross
(https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross) to make perl actually cross build
for our Hurd VM.

There's some weirdness wrt some pod scripts; no idea.  I haven't gotten
round to test the package itself yet on the Hurd.

Also, first tests on the Hurd show a possible problem with Perl's
system or shell -- no idea.

I get things like

    Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /gnu/store/dd5a35aca6411w5l29ask7pl626v8j4r-perl-5.30.2/lib/perl5/5.30.2/i586-/Cwd.pm line 204.
    Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /gnu/store/mfnmg1m37kyrb65alnj6jn2fzw7zkapw-autoconf-cross-2.69/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345.

to me that's just as cryptic as Perl code itself.  I'll have a look into
that later tonight.

Greetings,
janneke

Find an improved patch below.  It fixes

>     Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /gnu/store/dd5a35aca6411w5l29ask7pl626v8j4r-perl-5.30.2/lib/perl5/5.30.2/i586-/Cwd.pm line 204.

which was due to having

    #define SH_PATH ""

in config.h.  It also fixes "cwd" in perl, that was caused by this

              (substitute* "dist/PathTools/Cwd.pm"
                (("/bin/pwd")
-                (which "pwd")))
+                (which "pwd"))) ;TODO: fix cross-compile next rebuild cycle

and now fixed lateron

+                       ;;TODO: fix this in setup-configure next rebuild cycle
+                       (substitute* "dist/PathTools/Cwd.pm"
+                         (("/gnu/store/[^/]*-coreutils-[^/]*") coreutils))

Using this, I can cross-build perl and which allows me to ceate patches
to cross build, autoconf and automake that work to configure Guix git on
the Hurd.

Greetings,
janneke

Wooow, awesome work (as usual)!

It might be clearer to add "TODO: use coreutils from INPUTS instead of
'which'" here, maybe mentioning the related substitution below.

Please use 'make-file-writable' instead of chmod.

Use the scoped 'inputs' instead of the magical %build-inputs.

Should $cpp not be replaced with 'g++'?

This phase should add a let binding for (%store-directory) and refer to
that instead of the literal /gnu/store strings (see e.g. 'git').

Would it make sense to upstream this?

Is this substitution required on all cross-compilation targets?

Using '(call-with-output-file "foo" (const #t))' is clearer IMO.  Also
consider using 'for-each' here.

Phew!  Thanks a lot for this, LGTM!

Yes, changed now to

             ;; Use the right path for `pwd'.
             ;; TODO: use coreutils from INPUTS instead of 'which'
             ;; in next rebuild cycle, see fixup below.
             (substitute* "dist/PathTools/Cwd.pm"
               (("/bin/pwd")
                (which "pwd")))

>> +                       (invoke "chmod" "-R" "+w" ".")

Finally changed it to

                       (rename-file "Artistic" "Artistic.perl")
                       (rename-file "Copying" "Copying.perl")

Ah, right!  There is the scoped `native-inputs' too.  I have always
missed that and been using %build-inputs instead.  Hmm.

No, I don't think so.  The non-replaced value of $cpp is "gcc -E -P -", and
that breaks terribly; this substitution is only to remove -the `-P' and
input redirection.  I did change this to the somewhat nicer

                       (substitute* '("ext/Errno/Errno_pm.PL")
                         (("\\$cpp < errno.c") "$Config{cc} -E errno.c")))

and mentioned this with my patch sent to `perl-cross'.

Ah...nice!  Done.

Yes, I think so.  I created a patch, now added as `perl-cross.patch' too
and sent it upstream.

Good question.  This is no longer necessary now that configure actually
detects the Hurd using gcc; togeether with my patch.

Changed to

                     (with-directory-excursion "cpan"
                       (mkdir-p "Pod-Usage/blib/script")
                       (mkdir-p "Pod-Parser/blib/script")
                       (for-each (lambda (file)
                                   (call-with-output-file file
                                     (lambda (port) (display "" port))))
                                 '("Pod-Usage/blib/script/pod2text"
                                   "Pod-Usage/blib/script/pod2usage"
                                   "Pod-Checker/blib/script/podchecker"
                                   "Pod-Parser/blib/script/podselect")))

> Phew!  Thanks a lot for this, LGTM!

With these changes, pushed to core-updates as eaff60b35fed75c60d0db76c589e17d1500f60dd

Thanks a lot for your review, I was pretty certain that I missed some
things; but there were more things that I learned than I expected.
Also, a good question here and there is really helpful for me to improve
things or to do the right thing.

Greetings,
janneke
