[bug#53964] [PATCH 0/4] Build nhc98 and ghc@4 with regular dependencies

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Ricardo and all,

This series tweaks the recently-added nhc98 and ghc@4 so they
only depend on “regular” packages rather than intermediate
packages from commencement.scm.

It also fixes ‘tests/graph.scm’.  \o/

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (4):
  gnu: nhc98: Build with the current tool chain.
  gnu: gcc: Add 2.95.
  gnu: ghc@4: Build without referring to packages in commencement.scm.
  gnu: Remove glibc@2.2.5 and gcc-2.95-wrapper.

[bug#53964] [PATCH 3/4] gnu: ghc@4: Build without referring to packages in commencement.scm.

[Ludovic Courtès]

* gnu/packages/haskell.scm (ghc-4)[arguments]: Remove #:implicit-inputs?.
In 'bootstrap' phase, pass '-optc-D_GNU_SOURCE=1'.  Use
'search-input-file' to locate lib{bfd,iberty}.a, and 'which' for cpp.
Patch 'mk/config.mk.in'.  In 'configure' phase, emit "config.cache".
In 'make-boot' phase, replace "CLK_TCK" in 'nHandle.c'.
[native-inputs]: Remove now-implicit inputs; remove GLIBC-2.2.5,
GCC-MESBOOT0, and BINUTILS-MESBOOT.  Add GCC-2.95 and BINUTILS-2.33.
Remove input labels.

[bug#53964] [PATCH 4/4] gnu: Remove glibc@2.2.5 and gcc-2.95-wrapper.

[Ludovic Courtès]

This reverts commits a95924c9ac3f238cde243c96d552ff59ad77ca16 and
defa85b26537a3cc20624fb9dbcae906226361d5, which were used to build
nhc98@1.22 but are no longer needed.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc-2.2.5): Remove.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (gcc-2.95-wrapper): Remove.
(glibc-mesboot0, gcc-mesboot0, binutils-mesboot): Keep private.

[bug#53964] [PATCH 0/4] Build nhc98 and ghc@4 with regular dependencies

Hi Ludo,

Wow, excellent!

The patches look good to me.  I built ghc@4, fired up STGHugs, and
successfully loaded a module.

Input labels (well, ‘output labels’) can be removed here to a degree:

(lambda* (#:key build configure-flags #:allow-other-keys)
  ;; [...]
  (define out #$output)
  (setenv "CONFIG_SHELL" [...])
  [...])

Seems incorrect when gcc is being cross-compiled, "--build" or "--host"
(I always forget which) should be set to 'target' (in the Guix sense,
not the autools sense).

Or perhaps it doesn't matter since #:system is always "i686-linux" ...

Greetings,
Maxime.

Unbundling seems more something for a source snippet to me,
since it's ‘cleaning up’ the source code.  ‘(guix)Snipppets versus
Phases’ also says:

The boundary between using an origin snippet versus a build phase to
modify the sources of a package can be elusive.  Origin snippets are
typically used to remove unwanted files such as bundled libraries,
[...]

Maxime.

FWIW, since gcc@2.95 is an ancient version of gcc only used for
bootstrapping, personally I would not bother with building the
documentation.

OTOH, there have been quite some changes in gcc, and the documentation
isn't getting in the way of anyone not interested in it ...

Maxime.

Perhaps a comment

  ;; version 2.95 of gcc@ only supports C, so no CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH

would be useful to answer the question of why the search paths are
overridden?

Looks like an unrelated change to me.  From (guix)Submitting Patches:

  13. Verify that your patch contains only one set of related changes.
     Bundling unrelated changes together makes reviewing harder and
     slower.

     Examples of unrelated changes include the addition of several
     packages, or a package update along with fixes to that package.

Perhaps this is acceptable though for the same reasons removing
trailing #t from phases is acceptable ...

What's this for? AFAICT this seems rather unrelated to ‘Build without
referring to packages in [...]’, but then I don't know what these two
lines mean so maybe it is actually related.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Right, it probably cannot be cross-compiled and that’s fine.

(For some reason this old ‘configure’ script needed both ‘--build’ and
‘--host’.)

Right I’ll move it there.

(The bundled texinfo was a surprise to me; it actually builds but seems
to be broken in some way.)

Good idea, will do!

That’s the same for all the GCC variants, including ‘gcc-core-mesboot0’,
which was the inspiration for this one.  I think the main reason is that
“it’s difficult” (there’s a dependency on DejaGNU, the fact that you
cannot expect all tests to pass, and the fact that many tests would
probably need to be adjusted.)

In this case I didn’t even try, but since it’s an ancient package, it’s
even more likely to be problematic, and since it’s only used for
bootstrapping, I would not bother as long as it’s good enough to build
ghc@4.

Thoughts?

You’re right, I can make it a different patch.

These lines were already there.  I add ‘-D_GNU_SOURCE=1’ to allow builds
with current libc.

Overall a large part of the things in this patch series were already
there, only in a different form.  :-)

So I tried out of curiosity and was surprised to see that ‘make check’
succeeds!  It’s not entirely clear how many tests were run though since
DejaGNU isn’t very talkative:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Anyway, it can’t hurt.

I also found that building in parallel is reliable enough.

Thanks for testing!

I adjusted as suggested by Maxime and pushed this series:

  ee230f15c6 gnu: Remove glibc@2.2.5 and gcc-2.95-wrapper.
  d9df65514c gnu: ghc@4: Build without referring to packages in commencement.scm.
  6ef0cd9ade gnu: ghc@4: Use 'search-patches'.
  66f12401d4 gnu: gcc: Add 2.95.
  4fa516474b gnu: nhc98: Build with the current tool chain.
