Hia!
Before asking my questions I'll setup the scene first.
The scene:
I'm playing with cross-compiler support in guix.
[ x86_64 -> alpha target as an example with
this tiny patch: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25799 ]
I've stumbled upon the two cases: working[1] and non-working[2].
[1] working:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build --check re2c --target=alpha-unknown-linux-gnu --no-grafts
...
/gnu/store/15ibxf5xzcqzfx0xgb5s6qa5z2ah3avg-re2c-0.16
$ file /gnu/store/15ibxf5xzcqzfx0xgb5s6qa5z2ah3avg-re2c-0.16/bin/re2c
/gnu/store/15ibxf5xzcqzfx0xgb5s6qa5z2ah3avg-re2c-0.16/bin/re2c: ELF 64-bit LSB executable,
Works as expected.
[2] non-working:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build --check re2 --target=alpha-unknown-linux-gnu --no-grafts
...
/gnu/store/mg474j0gx56fdl6wrpaxxxwsdknl7k2i-re2-2017-01-01
$ file /gnu/store/mg474j0gx56fdl6wrpaxxxwsdknl7k2i-re2-2017-01-01/lib/libre2.so.0.0.0
/gnu/store/mg474j0gx56fdl6wrpaxxxwsdknl7k2i-re2-2017-01-01/lib/libre2.so.0.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64
It seems that re2 derivation ignores --target
and builds it's library with host compiler, not target compiler.
Relevant re2 package snippet from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/regex.scm#n27
(build-system gnu-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:test-target "test"
;; There is no configure step, but the Makefile respects a prefix.
#:make-flags (list (string-append "prefix=" %output))
#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(delete 'configure)
As we see here definition skips ./configure step (that's ok)
and does not pass CXX=${target}-g++ to make flag.
I wonder what are the possible options to override CXX here?
Makefile for re2 is very straightforward:
CXX?=g++
...
obj/%.o: %.cc $(HFILES)
<tab>@mkdir -p $$(dirname $@)
<tab>$(CXX) -c -o $@ $(CPPFLAGS) $(RE2_CXXFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -DNDEBUG $*.cc
...
obj/so/libre2.$(SOEXT): $(SOFILES)
<tab>@mkdir -p obj/so
<tab>$(MAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY) -o obj/so/libre2.$(SOEXTVER) $(SOFILES)
<tab>ln -sf libre2.$(SOEXTVER) $@
Question time:
- Is there a way to run 'guix environment --target=' in the same way as 'guix build --target='
sets it up? I'd like to see how both compilers are supposed to be present in there.
- Why default g++ in PATH is the host g++ and not target g++?
Target seems to make most sense if no explicit compiler is specified.
- How to actually set CXX to point to target g++?
It looks like implicitly there already both host (through native-inputs)
and target (through build-inputs) compilers available.
I would expect something like
#:make-flags (list (string-append "CXX=" <.?.>))
What should be in place of that "<.?.>" to refer to target g++?
Thank you!

I think I've found a workaround at least for my third question.
Both host and target compilers are available as g++ and ${target}-g++.
Thus the following workaround seems to work:
diff --git a/gnu/packages/regex.scm b/gnu/packages/regex.scm

At least 'ar' for this package. Perhaps there is a function that already

So far as I'm aware there is no better solution than what you have proposed. It is a common
problem for packages which don't provide a proper autoconf ./configure script.

As John wrote, this is the right fix for this package.
If you can send it with ‘git send-email’ (see
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>),
I’ll apply it right away. Otherwise I can do it on your behalf.
Thanks!
Ludo’.

About the 'guix environment --target=' / 'guix build --target=' part or question:
Would it make sense to have '--target=' support in 'guix environment' tool or is it
too tricky?
Thanks!

I think it would make sense (at least without --ad-hoc) and shouldn’t be
too tricky. You can file it on bug-guix so we remember!
