The host libLLVM.so (COOKBOOK_HOST_SYSROOT=/usr branch) lives in the redoxer
toolchain and is dynamically linked by rustc's librustc_driver. Building it as
X86;AMDGPU;NVPTX only dropped AArch64/RISCV, so after the AMDGPU splice rustc
failed to load with 'undefined symbol: LLVMInitializeAArch64AsmPrinter' —
breaking every Rust compile in the tree. Build the host LLVM with all CPU
targets rustc emits (X86;AArch64;RISCV) PLUS the GPU backends (AMDGPU;NVPTX).
The Redox-target llvm21 stays X86;AMDGPU;NVPTX (Redox is amd64-only, no need to
bloat the shipped libLLVM with foreign CPU backends).
Fixes a latent regression from 80d20db8/a6999912.
Per operator: don't forget Intel + virgl, and prepare for future NVIDIA. Intel
(iris/anvil) and virgl need NO LLVM GPU backend (NIR / virtualized) — they stay
in Mesa's driver lists as first-class targets. AMD needs AMDGPU (now); NVIDIA
(future, nouveau/NVK) needs NVPTX. LLVM rebuilds are very expensive, so include
NVPTX now (llvm21: X86;AMDGPU;NVPTX) to avoid an LLVM rebuild when NVIDIA lands.
Documented the vendor->driver->LLVM-backend matrix in the amd64-only policy.
Mesa's radeonsi/radv AMD-GPU drivers require the LLVM 'amdgpu' codegen backend
(dependency('llvm', modules: [... amdgpu ...])). llvm21 built X86 only, so the
host llvm-config the mesa build reads reported amdgpu(missing). Add AMDGPU to
LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD (X86;AMDGPU per the amd64-only policy — AMDGPU is a GPU
backend, not a second CPU platform). This is the redox-target LLVM whose libs
mesa links AND the source of the prefix clang-install host LLVM. NB: the
~/.redoxer toolchain host llvm-config (a provisioned prebuilt) still needs the
rebuilt AMDGPU host-LLVM propagated into it (follow-up).
Comprehensive fix — not a fallback. Each recipe now has explicit
[package] section with name and version. Version inference:
- Git-source recipes without rev/branch: '0.1.0' (Red Bear convention)
- Tar/git recipes with version in URL or dir name: extracted version
- Sysroot-copy recipes: matched to toolchain version
Affected: 250+ recipes across all categories (core, libs, dev, system,
kde, qt, drivers, gpu, drm, kernel, userspace, etc.) Every recipe
in the redbear-mini build chain that was missing [package] now has
explicit version metadata. Cookbook can now always determine a version
at packaging time, eliminating 'cannot guess version' failures.
No cookbook fallback hack — the source of truth is recipe metadata.
- Add x11proto to redbear-full.toml package list
- libxau recipe updated with x11proto dependency and custom build script
- Fixes libxau build failure: 'Package xproto was not found'
Derivative of Redox OS (https://www.redox-os.org) adding:
- AMD GPU driver (amdgpu) via LinuxKPI compat layer
- ext4 filesystem support (ext4d scheme daemon)
- ACPI fixes for AMD bare metal (x2APIC, DMAR, IVRS, MCFG)
- Custom branding (hostname, os-release, boot identity)
Build system is full upstream Redox with RBOS overlay in local/.
Patches for kernel, base, and relibc are symlinked from local/patches/
and protected from make clean/distclean. Custom recipes live in
local/recipes/ with symlinks into the recipes/ search path.
Build: make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full
Sync: ./local/scripts/sync-upstream.sh
