uutils / onig_sys
oniguruma guards its alloca.h include on the autoconf macro:
#if defined(HAVE_ALLOCA_H)
# include <alloca.h>
#endif
onig_sys is compiled by the `cc` crate, so no configure ever runs and
nothing defines it. Under GCC 14+ the resulting implicit declaration is
an error, so uutils failed at
regint.h:271: error: implicit declaration of function 'alloca'
relibc does ship <alloca.h>, so declare it in the cookbook's C flags.
This asserts a fact about the sysroot rather than silencing a warning,
and is what a cross-build environment is expected to supply for sources
that have no configure step. Packages whose own configure defines it to
1 are unaffected -- identical redefinitions are not diagnosed.

Declares `libredox = "0.1"`, a version string, so cargo resolved
libredox and its transitive redox_syscall from crates.io instead of the
forks. With the forks now at 0.1.19 / 0.9.1 the crates.io side is not in
the offline cache and the build died with
failed to download `redox_syscall v0.9.0`
Caused by: attempting to make an HTTP request, but --offline was
specified
local/AGENTS.md 'Local fork dependency rule (ABSOLUTE)' prohibits
version strings for crates that have a local fork, for exactly this
reason -- a second copy of the crate in the graph gives mismatched
types, and offline builds cannot resolve it at all. [patch.crates-io]
now redirects the direct and transitive resolutions onto the forks.
Both cook clean.
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.
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
