Hey Guys
I want to build Fence Agents and took some help from the debian package.
This is the derivation I currently have:
{
#fetchFromGitHub, stdenv, autoconf, automake
#, python3, git, perl, iputils, glib, nspr, nss, libtool,
#time, libxslt, xml2, perl534Packages
pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}
}:
let
pythonWithPackages = pkgs.python3.withPackages(ps: with ps; [
boto3
google-api-python-client
oauth2client
pexpect
pycurl
requests
# The following pkg is broken. Let's hope we don't depend on it...
#python3Packages.suds-jurko
# For fence_azure_arm
adal
azure-core
# For fene_openstack
keystoneauth1
python-keystoneclient
python-novaclient
]);
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
pname = "fence-agents";
version = "v4.11.0";
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "ClusterLabs";
repo = "fence-agents";
rev = version;
sha256 = "sha256-yy/ONp4PzitF9Vet5dWmMJaoGaQhsqms9EbmQtawCvA=";
};
nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [
autoreconfHook
bison
];
buildInputs = with pkgs; [
git
perl
iputils
#libglibutil
glib
nspr
nss
nssTools
libtool
time
libxslt
#xml2 # In debian libxml2-utils -> xmllint
libxml2
perl534Packages.NetTelnet
];
propagatedBuildInputs = [
pythonWithPackages
];
preConfigure = ''
echo 4.11.0 > .tarball-version
'';
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p "$out/usr/{libexec,sbin,share}"
cp -r usrl/libexec/fence-agents/fence_kdump_send $out/usrl/libexec/fence-agents/
cp -r usr/share/* $out/usr/share
cp usr/sbin/fence* $outusr/sbin/
'';
}
But when I try to nix-build default.nix I get the following error:
./configure: line 20832: syntax error near unexpected token `nss,'
./configure: line 20832: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(nss, nss)'
error: builder for '/nix/store/5r8d6gcfav9i85lslh84d8j195kvyw78-fence-agents-v4.11.0.drv' failed with exit code 2;

For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/5r8d6gcfav9i85lslh84d8j195kvyw78-fence-agents-v4.11.0.drv'.
I guess somehow the preConfigure misses something, or that the autoreconfHook is the wrong tool, but I have no idea how these tools work and googling didn’t seem to help me much. I figured that when I add cmake to the nativeBuildInputs the error changes to the following:
CMake Error: The source directory "/build/source" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
error: builder for '/nix/store/ndfi6bvnf1823qa74mp2imcpvc10cl43-fence-agents-v4.11.0.drv' failed with exit code 1;

For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/ndfi6bvnf1823qa74mp2imcpvc10cl43-fence-agents-v4.11.0.drv'.
AFAIU adding cmake only adds something to the configurePhase which fails even earlier and doesn’t really add anything, but I’m really very new to these build tools and combined with the NixOS magic it’s a bit confusing…
So am I right, is cmake unnecessary and just moves the error somewhere else?
And do I miss something else in the preConfigure or nativeBuildInputs?
(I’m also open to any suggestion for making this derivation better. My intention is to add this package to nixpkgs 
)
