Hi all, Building vim on OSX fails due to gcc lacking an Objective-C compiler. Presumably, the vim build assumes that since the system is OSX we must be using the xcode gcc, which does have Objective-C support. There are probably other packages out there that make a similar assumption. The obvious fix would be as follows:
1. Add a langObjC parameter (defaulting to false) to gcc's default.nix, with behaviour analogous to the other lang* parameters. 2. Modify the darwin stdenv's gcc to set langObjC to true 3. (Optional, if anyone outside of darwin cares) Modify the default gcc to set langObjC to true Normally, these kinds of changes belong in stdenv-updates, but as this is a potentially significant deficiency on darwin machines and we don't seem to have too many darwin users, I'd like to perform steps 1 and 2 in trunk. To be clear, this would NOT require a rebuild of stdenv on any non-darwin system, but it would mean a total rebuild on any darwin systems. Would anyone have a problem with this? ~Shea _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
