The darwin <literal>stdenv</literal> uses clang instead of gcc.
|
|
When referring to the compiler <varname>$CC</varname> or <command>cc</command>
|
|
will work in both cases. Some builds hardcode gcc/g++ in their
|
|
build scripts, that can usually be fixed with using something
|
|
like <literal>makeFlags = [ "CC=cc" ];</literal> or by patching
|
|
the build scripts.

On darwin libraries are linked using absolute paths, libraries
|
|
are resolved by their <literal>install_name</literal> at link
|
|
time. Sometimes packages won't set this correctly causing the
|
|
library lookups to fail at runtime. This can be fixed by adding
|
|
extra linker flags or by running <command>install_name_tool -id</command>
|
|
during the <function>fixupPhase</function>.

Some packages assume xcode is available and use <command>xcrun</command>
|
|
to resolve build tools like <command>clang</command>, etc.
|
|
This causes errors like <code>xcode-select: error: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app'</code>
|
|
while the build doesn't actually depend on xcode.

The package <literal>xcbuild</literal> can be used to build projects
|
|
that really depend on Xcode, however projects that build some kind of
|
|
graphical interface won't work without using Xcode in an impure way.
