With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared, without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_ in pkgs/top-level/static.nix. It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix. This is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv options. So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags. With this mechanism, a package that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic. |
