Remove sed-based qt PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE workaround, replace by a patch that
works for both old (such as used by Travis and Ubuntu Precise) and new
mingw (Ubuntu Trusty).
This passes `-Wa,--noexecstack` to the assembler when building
platform-specific assembly files, to signal that a non-executable stack
can be used. This is the same approach as used by Debian
(see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430583)
This version of miniupnpc fixes a buffer overflow in the XML (ugh)
parser during initial network discovery.

The commit fixing the vulnerability is:

Reported by timothy on IRC.
This should fix the spurious comparison tool failures.
See discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6305
The race fix was cherry-picked on top of the version we're currently using, so
it should be functionally identical otherwise.
This should be functionally identical to what's in place now. It was built from

That commit is the same as this pruned commit in TheBlueMatt's repo:

Now we'll be able to trust the line numbers in the stack traces.
Boost assumes variadic templates are always available in GCC 4.4+, but
they aren't since we don't build with -std=c++11.
This applies the patch that fixed the issue in boost 1.57:

Documentation more readable when viewed on Github.
Some extra changes by @laanwj:
- Make README.usage the default README. This is more convenient from a
user perspective. Link to other documentation in this default README
- Add list of popular targets for cross compilation, change default to
Win64 instead of Win32
In some cases (Travis), sources and build caches may be moved around in-between
builds, and we can't necessarily trust that everything is still intact.
This introduces pre-build checks that verify against stashed checksums.
Note that this will cause all sources to be re-downloaded, since cached sources
weren't trustworthy before this.
See here for background: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-34748
libxcb temporarily had an abi breakage which caused crashes when qt was
compiled against a non-compatible version. Building qt with -qt-xcb should have
shielded us from this issue, except that incompatible headers were used when
building qt's wrapper.
Make sure those headers aren't picked up by qt's build.
Details:
qt's build adds a wrapper around the xcb libs when -qt-xcb is used. This is
done to avoid having to link to a handful of different libs, which may not be
api/abi stable. This build depends on include-order, so that its files are
found before the real libxcb headers.
Our build (for other reasons related to qt's complicated build-system) injects
our prefix into CXXFLAGS. Because libxcb is found in this path, that reverses
the include-order, negating the purpose of the wrapper.
To fix, libxcb's includes are simply moved to a subdir. pkg-config ensures that
they're still found properly when needed.
To make things even more interesting, this behavior in qt's .pro files is broken:
INCLUDEPATH += $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_XCB
The INCLUDEPATH variable is processed by qmake which automatically prefixes each
entry with "-I". The QMAKE_CFLAGS_XCB variable comes from pkg-config and
already contains -I, making the path look like "-I-I/path/to/xcb/headers".
To work around that, CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are used here rather than INCLUDEPATH.
tl;dr: Update to the newer stable toolchain and SDK for OSX without giving up
any backwards compatibility. We can move to clang 3.5 as a next step which
allows use to use libc++ and the 10.10 sdk, but we'll need to find a build that
works in gitian/travis first.
Switch to a new, better maintained fork of cctools:
https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port
I've forked this and will be working on it some as well:
https://github.com/theuni/cctools-port
This brings in:
cctools v862
ld64: v241.9
It also fixes 64bit builds, so there's no longer any need to use a 32bit clang.
Since clang is no longer tied to an old/crusty 32bit build, clang has been
upgraded to 3.3. Unfortunately, there's a bug in 3.4 that breaks builds. 3.5
works fine, but there are no binary builds compatible with precise, which is
currently used for gitian and travis. We could always build our own if
necessary.
After updating to stable clang/linker/cctools, it's possible to use a more
recent SDK. The current SDK (10.7) through the most recent 10.10 have all been
built/tested successfully, both with and without 10.6 compatibility. However,
10.10 requires clang 3.5.
SDKs >= 10.9 use libc++ rather than libstdc++. This is verified working as well.
Broken hash logic caused all depends on some platforms (osx at least) to end up
with the same build-id. Without this fix, nothing will be rebuilt when recipes
or dependencies change.
Since the last commit will force rebuilds of all depends, take the opportunity
to clean up a few other things that would trigger rebuilds as well.
- Move source stamps to the sources dir so that SOURCES_PATH is respected for
"make download".
- Only print "fetching..." when actually downloading a file.
- Avoid using non-deterministic paths for the recipe hash (patch location).
This should ensure that all builders get the same resulting build-ids.
- Use a per-package source paths. This will allow for removing old source files
in the future.
- Use a host-agnostic path for downloads which gets cleaned up properly.
