perlPackages.ModuleBuild (a dependency of git) fails to cross-compile #66741

lopsided98 · 2019-08-17T04:03:20Z

perlPackages.ModuleBuild fails to cross-compile, which prevents git from cross-compiling (unless perlSupport = false). I don't have much experience with Perl, but my understanding is that Scalar::Util is trying to load an XS module. I'm not sure how to work around this.

I read through the explanation in the manual about creating a stub implementation, but I'm not sure what to do in this case because Scalar::Util is part of Perl core.

lopsided98 · 2019-08-18T22:03:36Z

Personally, I don't really care about ModuleBuild, I just want git to cross-compile out of the box. Maybe the best solution is just to set perlSupport = false when cross-compiling, or disable git-instaweb.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

lopsided98 · 2020-06-02T17:03:31Z

I'm pretty sure this hasn't been fixed.

lopsided98 · 2021-01-20T02:06:38Z

This now breaks cross-compiled NixOS because perlPackages.XMLParser transitively depends on ModuleBuild after a0d34c7.

stigtsp · 2021-01-22T02:13:01Z

Hey. ~~I think reverting a0d34c7 will be a reasonable short term fix if it blocking cross-compilation.~~ With it reverted, XML::Parser builds:

$ nix-build -A pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.perlPackages.XMLParser

But git doesn't, due to perlPackages.HTMLTagCloud failing.


$ nix-build -A pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.git

lopsided98 · 2021-01-22T02:53:57Z

Yeah, reverting that commit won't fix git because ModuleBuild is still broken, it would just stop ModuleBuild from being a requirement to build a NixOS system.

lopsided98 · 2021-07-21T14:24:21Z

ModuleBuild still fails to cross-compile, but Perl support is git is now disabled when cross-compiling.

ju1m · 2021-10-16T01:10:22Z

This also prevents xdg-utils to cross-compile. And thus services.x11.xserver.enable = true fails to cross-compile.

zakame · 2021-10-19T13:23:56Z

This sounds similar to #115170 - will take a better look 👀

zakame · 2021-10-20T12:16:37Z

Yeah, its basically the same thing as #115170 - the failing step

Checking prerequisites...
  test_requires:
    !  Couldn't find a $VERSION in prerequisite File::Temp

Is due to https://metacpan.org/release/LEONT/Module-Build-0.4231/source/Build.PL#L67 which doesn't really make sense for our purposes as File::Temp in our Perls are now way past 0.15:

  test_requires         => {
    'File::Temp'            => 0.15,    # tmpdir() + fixes
    'Test::More'            => 0.49,

$ nix-shell -p perl --run 'perl -MFile::Temp -E "say \$File::Temp::VERSION"'
0.2311

postPatch PR to follow shortly.

ius · 2022-02-02T22:43:16Z

This once again breaks cross compiled NixOS because of #154809 pulling this in via ConfigIniFiles

dasJ · 2022-02-03T18:57:50Z

stc sould be fixed by #158021

ius · 2022-02-15T07:54:37Z

Flips sign: 0 days since the last incident. NixOS fails to cross compile again.

This time it's #157329 depending on Array-Compare which pulls in Moo, which lists ModuleRuntime in propagatedBuildInputs. As long as there's no structural fix for this issue I'm afraid we risk running into it on every rework of the core perl scripts..

@dasJ If you happen to have some time to look at it again, or someone else who does know perl...

stigtsp · 2022-02-15T14:21:46Z

Attempted to do a quick fix by looking more closely at modules pulled in by Array::Compare and it's dependencies, but it quickly becomes a rabbit hole where Module::Build or a dynamic perl (in case of tests for Type::Tiny) is needed. Need figure out how to fix Module::Build for cross builds to solve this class of recurring problems ...

Anyway, I've added a workaround for stc that avoids Array::Compare here #160176

avnik · 2023-06-27T13:08:13Z

Problem still actual, it blocks xdg-utils build

lopsided98 · 2023-08-27T17:07:23Z

This particular issue has been fixed by #225640, although Git with Perl support still fails due to a different error in libnet:

Can't load module IO, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
  (You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
  dynamic loading or has the IO module statically linked into it.)
