@ -29,19 +29,14 @@ The recommended way of defining a derivation for a Coq library, is to use the `c
* `releaseRev` (optional, defaults to `(v: v)`), provides a default mapping from release names to revision hashes/branch names/tags,
* `displayVersion` (optional), provides a way to alter the computation of `name` from `pname`, by explaining how to display version numbers,
* `namePrefix` (optional, defaults to `[ "coq" ]`), provides a way to alter the computation of `name` from `pname`, by explaining which dependencies must occur in `name`,
* `nativeBuildInputs` (optional), is a list of executables that are required to build the current derivation, in addition to the default ones (namely `which`, `dune` and `ocaml` depending on whether `useDune2`, `useDune2ifVersion` and `mlPlugin` are set).
* `extraNativeBuildInputs` (optional, deprecated), an additional list of derivation to add to `nativeBuildInputs`,
* `overrideNativeBuildInputs` (optional) replaces the default list of derivation to which `nativeBuildInputs` and `extraNativeBuildInputs` adds extra elements,
* `buildInputs` (optional), is a list of libraries and dependencies that are required to build and run the current derivation, in addition to the default one `[ coq ]`,
* `extraBuildInputs` (optional, deprecated), an additional list of derivation to add to `buildInputs`,
* `overrideBuildInputs` (optional) replaces the default list of derivation to which `buildInputs` and `extraBuildInputs` adds extras elements,
* `propagatedBuildInputs` (optional) is passed as is to `mkDerivation`, we recommend to use this for Coq libraries and Coq plugin dependencies, as this makes sure the paths of the compiled libraries and plugins will always be added to the build environements of subsequent derivation, which is necessary for Coq packages to work correctly,
* `mlPlugin` (optional, defaults to `false`). Some extensions (plugins) might require OCaml and sometimes other OCaml packages. Standard dependencies can be added by setting the current option to `true`. For a finer grain control, the `coq.ocamlPackages` attribute can be used in `nativeBuildInputs`, `buildInputs`, and `propagatedBuildInputs` to depend on the same package set Coq was built against.
* `useDune2ifVersion` (optional, default to `(x: false)` uses Dune2 to build the package if the provided predicate evaluates to true on the version, e.g. `useDune2ifVersion = versions.isGe "1.1"` will use dune if the version of the package is greater or equal to `"1.1"`,
* `extraNativeBuildInputs` (optional), by default `nativeBuildInputs` just contains `coq`, this allows to add more native build inputs, `nativeBuildInputs` are executables and `buildInputs` are libraries and dependencies,
* `extraBuildInputs` (optional), this allows to add more build inputs,
* `mlPlugin` (optional, defaults to `false`). Some extensions (plugins) might require OCaml and sometimes other OCaml packages. Standard dependencies can be added by setting the current option to `true`. For a finer grain control, the `coq.ocamlPackages` attribute can be used in `extraBuildInputs` to depend on the same package set Coq was built against.
* `useDune2ifVersion` (optional, default to `(x: false)` uses Dune2 to build the package if the provided predicate evaluates to true on the version, e.g. `useDune2if = versions.isGe "1.1"` will use dune if the version of the package is greater or equal to `"1.1"`,
* `useDune2` (optional, defaults to `false`) uses Dune2 to build the package if set to true, the presence of this attribute overrides the behavior of the previous one.
* `opam-name` (optional, defaults to concatenating with a dash separator the components of `namePrefix` and `pname`), name of the Dune package to build.
* `enableParallelBuilding` (optional, defaults to `true`), since it is activated by default, we provide a way to disable it.
* `extraInstallFlags` (optional), allows to extend `installFlags` which initializes the variables `DESTDIR` and`COQMF_COQLIB` so as to install in the proper subdirectory. Indeed Coq libraries should be installed in `$(out)/lib/coq/${coq.coq-version}/user-contrib/`. Such directories are automatically added to the `$COQPATH` environment variable by the hook defined in the Coq derivation.
* `extraInstallFlags` (optional), allows to extend `installFlags` which initializes the variable `COQMF_COQLIB` so as to install in the proper subdirectory. Indeed Coq libraries should be installed in `$(out)/lib/coq/${coq.coq-version}/user-contrib/`. Such directories are automatically added to the `$COQPATH` environment variable by the hook defined in the Coq derivation.
* `setCOQBIN` (optional, defaults to `true`), by default, the environment variable `$COQBIN` is set to the current Coq's binary, but one can disable this behavior by setting it to `false`,
* `useMelquiondRemake` (optional, default to `null`) is an attribute set, which, if given, overloads the `preConfigurePhases`, `configureFlags`, `buildPhase`, and `installPhase` attributes of the derivation for a specific use in libraries using `remake` as set up by Guillaume Melquiond for `flocq`, `gappalib`, `interval`, and `coquelicot` (see the corresponding derivation for concrete examples of use of this option). For backward compatibility, the attribute `useMelquiondRemake.logpath` must be set to the logical root of the library (otherwise, one can pass `useMelquiondRemake = {}` to activate this without backward compatibility).
* `dropAttrs`, `keepAttrs`, `dropDerivationAttrs` are all optional and allow to tune which attribute is added or removed from the final call to `mkDerivation`.
