A significant portion of reported build problems come from people trying
to build Ladybird with Nix, and it seems there's always something broken
for someone. The maintainers are currently not focused on supporting
Nix, and as a result PRs are not reviewed as well as they could have
been.
This removes all Nix-related files.
Add and expose a `ladybird` package in the Nix flake. Allows building
Ladybird only using Nix, and without relying on the dev shell. Other
users will be able to build Ladybird from source using nix3 CLI via
`nix build github:LadybirdBrowser/ladybird` or add it as a flake input
to consume the package.
We also re-use the package in the devshell, to keep dependencies in-sync
between the bleeding-edge source package, and the dev shell. This is an
upgrade to how we previously inferred dependencies to Nixpkgs package
for Ladybird, which had a chance to lack dependencies required to build
the latest commit.
In the move to a python version of this script, I didn't notice that
running the bootstrap script in shell mode precluded it from actually
accepting the -disableMetrics argument.
Existing vcpkg installs can be un-metrics'd by re-running the bootstrap
script with the disable argument, or by adding a vcpkg.disable-metrics
file in $VCPKG_ROOT
In addition to changing the build-type dependent build directories, we
can take this opportunity to move the vcpkg cache directory to the Build
folder itself. This probably isn't 100% needed, but it ensures that no
leftover artifacts are used from non-dynamic vcpkg builds, and it's also
generally nice to have all build artifacts under Build.
There is no functional change here, but they added an error message to
the install output to indicate what host tools need to be installed.
This has tripped some people up, so it seems worth updating to.
And hook it into ladybird.sh for convenience. The script will set up
PATH and other environment variables automatically.
On CI, vcpkg is theoretically already installed on Linux machines, but
not with the right environment variables, and not on macOS. So this also
makes CI use this script to bootstrap vcpkg.
Allowing an environment variable to enable/disable the build for clangd
and other toolchains will improve the developer-experience than
reconfiguring and building the toolchain manually.
Now you will have to call the command as following
$ CLANG_ENABLE_CLANGD=ON Toolchain/BuildClang.sh
Currently, if building under `nix-shell Toolchain`, serenityOS'
gcc won't build because of hardening options added in nix,
more specifically the breaking format-security.
Apart from bumping the toolchain Clang's and port's version, this commit
completely overhauls the way LLVM toolchain is built.
First, it gets rid of a complicated two-stage process of first compiling
clang and compiler-rt builtins and then building libunwind, libc++abi,
and libc++ -- it is possible to create a complete cross-compilation
toolchain in a single CMake invocation with a modern LLVM. Moreover, the
old method was inherently unsupported and subtly broken.
Next, it utilizes full potential of the Stubs "framework". Now we are
even able to compile Clang with -Wl,-z,defs which makes one of the
patches obsolete and the whole installation less error-prone. Note that
it comes at a cost of complicating the bootstrap process on a completely
novel architecture but this hopefully won't happen often.
Lastly, it fixes handling of the -no*lib* family of flags in the
Serenity LLVM driver and correctly uses -nostartfiles in conjunction
with stubs to make necessary CMake configure-time checks succeed.
This commit adds minimal support for compiler-instrumentation based
memory access sanitization.
Currently we only support detection of kmalloc redzone accesses, and
kmalloc use-after-free accesses.
Support for inline checks (for improved performance), and for stack
use-after-return and use-after-return detection is left for future PRs.
This patch updates the flake to track the nixos-unstable branch instead
of master for the nixpkgs flake input.
This ensures that hydra.nixos.org (the NixOS CI) has built all packages,
made them available in the cache.nixos.org binary cache without the risk
of a definitions (evalulation) being broken on master.
The gen.py script only generates the build.ninja file for GN. We have to
explicitly build it afterwards.
This also sets the executable bit on BuildGN.sh.
This is a minor bugfix release, which to my knowledge contains nothing
of importance to us. However, there is one QoL change to our patches.
We no longer force `-fpic` in the compiler driver, and instead use the
`--enable-default-pie` configure option to generate position-independent
code suitable for executables. For building shared libraries, the
`-fpic` flag must be specified explicitly.
This version contains my patch that adds support for the proprietary
VideoCore mailbox message for reading the kernel command line, so
patches aren't needed anymore.
Add another dev shell to `Toolchain/flake.nix` called `ladybird.nix`
that pulls in the dependencies for building Ladybird.
Also update the documentation to mention building with a flake.
Let users save their nix develop derivation in a profile by ignoring
this specific folder. It encourages the following workflow:
```
nix develop Toolchain/ --profile Toolchain/nix-profiles/dev
```
Which stops the dev enviornment being collected in the nix store. Later
devs can come back and do:
```
nix develop Toolchain/nix-profiles/dev
```
To continue where they left off, without having to download everything
from nixpkgs again.
xlibswrapper is removed from `Toolchain/serenity.nix` as it is a
wrapper package and has been deprecated. We don't use it in the build
anyway.
This fixes#19286
During the build, python3 is required so we add `python3` as a build
dependency.
Add a nix flake to `Toolchain/` that wraps the existing nix derivation
`Toolchain/serenity.nix`. This also comes with a lockfile making the nix
developer enviornment setup more reproducible.
We also update the documentation for "other builds" to mention the
flake.
This is a minimal set of changes to allow `serenity.sh build riscv64` to
successfully generate the build environment and start building. This
includes some, but not all, assembly stubs that will be needed later on;
they are currently empty.
