The only reasons I can think of where we may want to propagate are when:
• installed C headers (or .scm, or Perl files, etc.) refer to headers
of another library;
• a .pc file lists another .pc in its ‘Requires’ field.
Here the problem seem to be a link-time error in some other program,
right? Could you post the details?
I’m asking because it could be that the problem lies elsewhere, and I
want to make sure we’re not overlooking something.
Thanks,

‘fsf-free’ is actually a procedure, so it should be:
(license (license:fsf-free "http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/gnuplot/gnuplot/Copyright"))
The comment should be kept just above.

Oh, seems like a case where native inputs need to be propagated.
Why do less, Texinfo, etc. need to be propagated?
If that’s because Octave expects them to be in $PATH, then maybe an
option would be to use ‘wrap-program’ to wrap the ‘octave’ program with
a shell script that initialize $PATH to contain these.
That way, we make sure Octave will run with the “right” versions of
these (those used at compile time and known to work), and the user’s
environment doesn’t end up pulling them.
An example of ‘wrap-program’ is Git (in version-control.scm.)
Other than that, looks great to me!

As we discussed on IRC, the reason is that xft.pc refers to ‘xrender’,
so I just put that in the comment.

Oh, seems like a case where native inputs need to be propagated.
Why do less, Texinfo, etc. need to be propagated?
The octave build system is rather naive. These propagated inputs don't actually
*need* to be present at configure/build time. But the ./configure (rather stupidly IMO)
checks for their presence, and turns off the relevant features if they are not found.
Therefore, one must declare them as native-inputs just to keep ./configure happy AND
as propagated inputs because they are called in a pipe from the octave program itself.
If that???s because Octave expects them to be in $PATH, then maybe an
option would be to use ???wrap-program??? to wrap the ???octave??? program with
a shell script that initialize $PATH to contain these.
That way, we make sure Octave will run with the ???right??? versions of
these (those used at compile time and known to work), and the user???s
environment doesn???t end up pulling them.
An example of ???wrap-program??? is Git (in version-control.scm.)
I don't think this will work in this case, for reasons explained above.

Would it be reasonable to patch the lines in which external programs are
called, replacing the program name by its complete path with a well-chosen
(substitute*)?
Then one would not need to propagate the inputs.

I don't think that will work. One needs to propagate the inputs. Otherwise octave won't
work (properly). For example, one needs to ensure that when octave is installed, less is
also installed. Otherwise it wont have a pager. Similarly for texinfo - if makeinfo does
not get installed along with octave, then the integrated documentation won't be available.
A better approach would be to patch the configure so that it does not bother to check for
these programs AND then to patch the install phase to check for them. But I don't fancy
doing that.

I think it would. If there’s a line like:
execlp ("makeinfo" ...);
patching that to, say:
execl ("/.../bin/makeinfo" ...);
will definitely work. (This is what Octave’s build system should be
doing, actually.)
WDYT?
(As an example, see how mingetty is patched to refer to a specific
‘login’ program, in admin.scm.)

I think I see where you are coming from. If we did what you suggest, then we could remove
makeinfo et al from propagated-inputs, but we would have to add them to inputs (in
to native-inputs).
So it would not reduce the total number of "inputs". Further, it would mean we would have
to devise a number of potentially complicated patches, which we would be condemned to
maintain. Further, it seems to me, to be a bit deceptive. By removing makeinfo from
propagated-inputs we are pretending that makeinfo does not need to be installed along with
octave, whereas in fact, it does (if one wants to read the manual from within octave).
As I understand it, a propagated input means that X must always be installed with Y.
What benefit does this proposal bring us?

I think that from a functional point of view, it could be preferable to have
octave "deep link" to its own dependency in the nix store, but I am not sure
if I understand things correctly.
Assume that octave is compiled with an old version of makeinfo (where "old
version" could simply mean that a dependency of makeinfo has been updated
in the mean time, or some of the build tools). At the time of installing
octave, it thus pulled the propagated input makeinfo into the user profile.
Now the user installs makeinfo; normally, this should be the new one.
I think right now, there is a warning about a conflict, and then one or the
other takes precedence; I assume the newer one (is this decided on a file
by file basis?). So octave has been compiled against an old makeinfo, but
ends up using a newer one. (Something like this has happened to me with
ripperx and cdparanoia; I installed both at different times, and got the
slightly confusing message that cdparanoia collided with itself). This seems
to be a rather annoying "feature" of our propagated inputs, and if what
I wrote above is true, they should probably be avoided as much as possible.
Ludovic, can you comment?

Yes, you explained it very well.
The functional model is that anything a package depends on at compile
time, or will depend on at run time, is specified in its definition.
When running ‘make && make check’, we check that the package works
correctly with this particular set of inputs. What we want is that,
when users install the package, it ends up using the inputs that were
specified.
With ‘propagated-inputs’ here, this would be sort-of achieved, because
when installing Octave, the corresponding Texinfo would also get
installed.
However, that is very inconvenient: what if the user also wants to
install another Texinfo version in their profile? Either the
user-chosen version wins, and Octave may end up working incorrectly; or
Octave’s version wins, and the user doesn’t have what they asked for.
To summarize: ‘propagated-inputs’ should list libraries 99% of the
time. Listing programs in ‘propagated-inputs’ just for the sake of
populating $PATH is a bad idea.
HTH,
Ludo’.

The functional model is that anything a package depends on at compile
time, or will depend on at run time, is specified in its definition.
When running ???make && make check???, we check that the package works
correctly with this particular set of inputs. What we want is that,
when users install the package, it ends up using the inputs that were
specified.
With ???propagated-inputs??? here, this would be sort-of achieved, because

Ok. Andraes' and Ludo's explanations convince me. However I'm skeptical that
the Octave devs would be quite so convinced. And removing the propagates-inputs
will mean patching to the Octave source and I don't know how difficult this will be.
I will do some experiments and see how far I get.

I recently found that many library packages do not propagate libc. I
installed gnutls through Guix and wanted to use it for development, but
the linker complained that some symbols belonging to glibc are missing.
What is the correct way of doing this?

The patch that would be great upstream is:
AC_PATH_PROG([MAKEINFO], [makeinfo])
AC_SUBST([MAKEINFO])
and then use “@MAKEINFO@” wherever ‘makeinfo’ is expected in the source
(similarly for ‘less’, etc.)
The patch that we can do in the meantime is similar to what is done for
‘glibc’ in base.scm:
;; Have `system' use that Bash.
(substitute* "sysdeps/posix/system.c"
(("#define[[:blank:]]+SHELL_PATH.*$")
(format #f "#define SHELL_PATH \"~a/bin/bash\"\n"
out)))
;; Same for `popen'.
(substitute* "libio/iopopen.c"
(("/bin/sh")
(string-append out "/bin/bash")))

This is undocumented/suboptimal territory.
To install a working C environment in your profile, run:
guix package -i gcc binutils ld-wrapper glibc
and set the environment as suggested. (‘ld-wrapper’ is a linker wrapper
that takes care of adding a ‘-rpath’ flag for every ‘-l’; see
ld-wrapper.scm.)
The crux here is that ‘ld-wrapper’ must come *after* ‘binutils’ on the
command line above, so that $profile/bin/ld points to it, and not to the
real ‘ld’.
I believe this could be addressed by having a simple “toolchain”
meta-package with the sole purpose of propagating these 4 inputs, and by
documenting it in the manual.
WDYT?

Yes, a toolchain package would be nice. Debian does similarly: it has
build-essential package.

Ludo???.
Having thought about this some more, looked to see what is currently in the
octave source and "discussed" the issue on #octave I think now the best solution
is to simply remove all the propagated-inputs from the package (and leave inputs
and native-inputs as they are). Rationale:
* Octave "works" without all these programs (albeit in a rather featureless
fashion). If a user wants to add the feature, then she just needs to
guix package -i <foo>.
* It seems to have been a deliberate decision by the octave developers to rely
on $PATH to select the appropriate version of these external programs.
* Changing this behaviour would involve alterations to the octave source touching
many files, and I think upstream would be unlikely to cooperate with us.
The disadvantage of this approach is, that a guix user who installs octave, but
not the other packages, gets only a barely functional version. Perhaps we need
a (recommended-inputs `(...)) like in debian.
Comments?

Item #2 is definitely a good reason to leave things untouched (no
propagation, no patching.)

Yes, that would make sense.
Could you file this to bug-guix@gnu.org (with the ‘wishlist’ tag, if you

Commit a28ef66 adds a ‘gcc-toolchain’ meta-package:
guix package -i gcc-toolchain
effectively installs gcc, glibc, ld-wrapper, and binutils (in the right
order), and:
guix package -i gcc-toolchain:debug
install libc’s corresponding debugging symbols.
Comments welcome!

This is because you’re compiling with -Wundef -Werror, something that
libc 2.19 headers apparently don’t support.
Can you try without -Werror?

I tried without both, and then it works. Do you have a source and suggestion
on what to do in such a case? Is it deprecated to use -Werror with the
autotoools?
Pari/GP now also works without modifying anything; maybe this was just a
problem of needing to start a new shell, as sometimes new binaries in the path
are not taken into account due to caching.

All I know is that feature test macros have been cleaned up in 2.19, so
perhaps it led to a change in behavior.

In general, using -Werror is very risky, because a slight change in a
third-party header, or in compiler warnings, can cause the project to
fail to build. In Guile building with -Werror is opt-in for this
reason.
Cheers,

In GDB we use it by default, and it generally does a good service for us
without causing headaches, but of course, as Ludo said, this is mostly a
project's decision. However, I wouldn't say that using -Werror is
deprecated :-).
