Merge pull request #9541 from obsidiansystems/config-buildprefix-fix
Including `config.h` also needs `$(buildprefix)`

733333e87d Including config.h also needs $(buildprefix)
Per the instruction in the manual, we want to run configure in a
different directory so that we can configure + build for multiple
platforms. That means `config.h` will be in the build directory. This is
just like `Makefile.config`, which already is used with
`$(buildprefix)`.

3c310bde2e reword description for the fetch-tree experimental feature
without knowing a lot of context, it's not clear who "we" are in that
text. I'm also strongly opposed to adding procedural notes into
a reference manual; it just won't age well.

this change leaves a factual description of the experimental feature and
its purpose.

Merge pull request #8886 from obsidiansystems/flatten-tests
Move unit tests to separate directories, and document
2023-12-01 17:14:38 +01:00

91b6833686 Move tests to separate directories, and document
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:

- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
  built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
  of Nix proper.

- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:

  - It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
    it needs the libraries.

  - It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
    DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
    with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!

This reorg solves these problems.

There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

4781e7fa70 Document each store type on its own page
This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.

The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.

This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

- helps navigating the code as it highlights which files are generated
- makes it less error prone when working incrementally
  (although this should be just fixed by building out of tree)

Docs build: depend on locally built nix executable and not installed one
2023-11-30 01:14:34 -05:00
Federico Pellegrin
d536c57e87 Docs build: depend on locally built nix executable and not installed one
Previously many of the documentation targets were depending on
`$(bindir)/nix` which is the installed version. This meant that its
install rules would be triggered (which in chain would also trigger the
install of libraries, as reported in #5140). Therefore a build of the
documentation without an installation would not be possible (which apart
from doing unwanted operations it may also generate permission problems
for example).

The fix makes the rules depend on `$(nix_PATH)` instead, which is the
executable in the build tree.

a7115a47ef Improve ACL clearing support (fixing FreeBSD build)
The problem was that f880469173 forgot
that the `#include <sys/xattr.h>` was guarded by an `#ifdef __linux__`.

However, the build failure was only on FreeBSD --- turns out other
platforms have this header too!

The fix therefore uses a new configure check so we properly clear ACLs
on more platforms.
