## 1. What is midipix, and how is it different?
midipix is a development environment that lets you create programs
for Windows using the standard C and POSIX APIs. No compromises made,
no shortcuts taken.
If you are interested in cross-platform programming that reclaims
the notion of write once, compile everywhere; if you believe that the
'standard' in the C Standard Library should not be a null signifier;
and if you like cooking your code without #ifdef hell and low-level
minutiae, then this page is for you.
midipix makes cross-platform programming better, simpler and faster,
specifically by bringing a modern, conforming C Runtime Library to the
Windows platform. While the idea itself is not new, the approach taken
in midipix to code portability is radically different from that found
in other projects.

[//]: # "{{{ 2. Building, installing, and using a midipix distribution"
## 2. Building, installing and using a midipix distribution
A Midipix distribution consists of the following:
* the native Midipix toolchain, consisting of perk, gcc, its dependencies,
and binutils,
* musl, a lightweight, fast, simple, and free libc[[1](https://www.musl-libc.org/faq.html)] used by Midipix,
* the Midipix runtime components that bridge the gap between the libc and the
executive subsystems of all Windows NT-derived Windows OS starting with and
including Windows XP, and
* a steadily increasing number of 3rd party open source packages, as expected in
any modern POSIX-compliant \*nix environment, including GNU coreutils, shells,
libraries such as ncurses, libressl, as well as Perl and Python.
Install the build-time dependencies listed in section [2.1](#21-build-time-dependencies),
clone this repository (e.g. ``git clone https://dev.midipix.org/build/midipix_build``)
and run the following command line:
```shell
./build.sh -a nt64 -b release -D zipdist -P -v
```
By default, the build will take place within ``${HOME}/midipix/nt64/release``
and package archive files and/or Git repositores will be downloaded into
``${HOME}/midipix/dlcache``. Consult sections [3.1](#31-fault-tolerant--highly-optimised-3d-laser-show-equipped-usage-screen), [4](#4-build-variables), and [4.1](#42-package-variables)
for the list of available build variables and how to override them.
Parallelisation is enabled by the above command line for both packages that can
be built independently of each other and ``make(1)`` via ``-j``, limited to the
amount of logical processors on the build host divided by two (2).

### 2.2. Deployment
On successful completion of the build, a ZIP archive containing the Midipix
distribution will be created inside ``${PREFIX}`` (see section [4](#4-build-variables).)
Create a directory on the target machine and extract the contents of the distribution
ZIP archive into it, run ``bash.bat``, and then ``/install.sh`` inside the resulting
self-contained Midipix installation shell window.
> N.B. The pathname of the target directory containing ``bash.bat`` and all other
distribution files must not contain whitespaces.
> N.B. The Midipix installer defaults to ``/dev/fs/c/midipix (C:\midipix)``. If left
unchanged, the distribution ZIP archive must not be extracted into a directory of the
same pathname.
> N.B. The user installing and using Midipix must have been delegated the ``SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege``
("Create symbolic links") privilege[[3](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/user-rights-assignment)] and additionally be a non-administrator account
owing to the UAC-related filtering policy of tokens introduced by Windows Vista[[4](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dotnet/articles/bb530410%28v%3dmsdn%2e10%29)].

### 2.3. System requirements
The following build-time system requirements are assessed on build hosts
equipped with the following hardware at minimum:
* Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3520 @ 2.67GHz (8 cores)
* 7200 RPM SATA 3.1 HDD
* 6 GB RAM
| Target architecture | Build kind | Distribution kinds selected | Average build time | Disk space required | Peak RAM usage |
| ------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------- | -------------- |

| nt64 | release | (none) | 1 hours 45 minutes | 36.51 GB | 3.21 GB |
Package archive files and/or Git repositories additionally consume at least
1.82 GB.
*(last update: Thu, 05 Mar 2020 09:25:41 +0000)*
These are the Midipix distribution disk space system requirements:
| Target architecture | Build kind | Distribution | Installation directory | Archive file |

[//]: # "{{{ 2.4. Troubleshooting"
### 2.4. Troubleshooting
Midipix presently provides, inter alia, strace-like functionality via
ntctty's logging capabilities. This is available both through the regular
``strace(1)`` command as distributed, which however **must** be provided
with an absolute pathname without consideration for ``${PATH}``, as well
as directly via ``ntctty.exe`` for a session by running ``ntctty.exe``
with the ``--log-level 7`` option, e.g.:
```shell
$ #strace ls -la / # (incorrect, relative pathname)
$ strace /bin/ls -la / # (correct, absolute pathname)
$ ntctty.exe --log-level 7 -e /bin/ls -la /
$ ntctty.exe --log-level=7 -e /bin/ls -la /
$ ntctty.exe --log-level 7 -e /bin/sh -c "ls -la /"
$ ntctty.exe --log-level=7 -e /bin/sh -c "ls -la /"
```
By default, ``ntctty.exe`` log files are written into the /var/log/ntctty
directory; this may be adjusted with the ``--log-dir`` and/or
``--log-file`` options. ``strace(1)`` logs to stderr by default.

[//]: # "{{{ 3.2. Adding a package"
## 3.2. Adding a package
Packages are grouped into *build groups* according to sets of common package
variable defaults, such as ``${PKG_CFLAGS_CONFIGURE}, ${PKG_LDFLAGS_CONFIGURE}``
and ``${PKG_CONFIGURE_ARGS}``, and semantic interrelatedness, such as the
``native_runtime`` build group comprising the Midipix runtime components.
Packages may belong to more than one build group such as when subsumed by a shorthand
build group e.g. the ``dev_packages`` build group, as long as the default set of build
groups or as overriden on the command line does not entail group membership conflicts.
Build groups files beneath ``groups/`` named ``[0-9][0-9][0-9].<group name>.group``
contain package variable defaults, the alphabetically sorted list of contained
packages in ``<upper case group name>_PACKAGES``, and their package variables
sorted alphabetically with the exception of ``${PKG_DEPENDS}`` (if present,)
``${PKG_SHA256SUM}``, ``${PKG_URL}``, and ``${PKG_VERSION}``, and/or ``${PKG_URLS_GIT}``,
which are specified in this order.
Pick a build group according to the criteria mentioned, add the package to the
build group's list of contained packages in its corresponding file, and add the
set of package variables required (see above and section [4.2](#42-package-variables).)
Consult section [3.4](#34-patches-and-vars-files) if the package to be added
requires patches or additional code amending or replacing package build steps
or the entire package build. Consult section [4.1](#41-build-steps) for a list
of package build steps and how they are overriden.

``${BUILD_WORKDIR}`` named ``${PKG_NAME}_stderrout.log``, following a package variable
dump. If ``-vv`` was specified, package logs will additionally be printed to standard
output. If ``-vvv`` was specified, ``xtrace`` will be set during package builds for
rudimentary debugging purposes. Additionally, packages using GNU autotools will, if
package configuration failed or appears relevant, log the configuration process in detail
in, most usually, ``${PKG_BUILD_DIR}/config.log``.
If ``--dump-on-abort`` was specified, a subset of the variables set and environment
variables exported will be written to ``${BUILD_WORKDIR}/${PKG_NAME}.dump``, which may
subsequently be used in order to obtain a package build shell environment with the
``pkgtool.sh`` script (see sections [3.5](#35-pkgtoolsh)[3.5.1](#351-s-package-build-shell-environment).)

## 3.4. Patches and ``vars`` files
Package patches are applied prior and/or subsequent to (GNU autotools or simular) package
configuration during the ``configure_patch_pre`` and/or ``configure_patch`` build steps,
respectively (see section [4.1](#41-build-steps).) Patch files are searched for beneath
``patches/`` with the following globs and in-order:
* ``${PKG_NAME}-${PKG_VERSION}_pre.local.patch``
or ``${PKG_NAME}_pre.local.patch`` (for packages lacking ``${PKG_VERSION}``)
* ``${PKG_NAME}-${PKG_VERSION}_pre.local@${BUILD_HNAME}.patch``
or ``${PKG_NAME}_pre.local@${BUILD_HNAME}.patch`` (for packages lacking ``${PKG_VERSION}``)
* ``${PKG_NAME}/*.patch``
* ``${PKG_NAME}-${PKG_VERSION}.local.patch``
or ``${PKG_NAME}.local.patch`` (for packages lacking ``${PKG_VERSION}``)
* ``${PKG_NAME}-${PKG_VERSION}.local@${BUILD_HNAME}.patch``
or ``${PKG_NAME}.local@${BUILD_HNAME}.patch`` (for packages lacking ``${PKG_VERSION}``)
* ``${PKG_PATCHES_EXTRA}`` (if set)
If the default set of package build steps does not suffice, such as if additional commands
must be executed after package configuration or prior to building, or if an entire or all
build step must be replaced, overrides may be specified in the form of functions in the
package's ``vars/${PKG_NAME}.vars`` ``vars`` file. Consult section [4.1](#41-build-steps)
for a list of package build steps and how they are overriden.

### 3.5.1. -s: package build shell environment
When ``build.sh`` is executed with the ``--dump-on-abort`` option, a subset of the
variables set and environment variables exported will be written to ``${BUILD_WORKDIR}/${PKG_NAME}.dump``
on build failure, which may subsequently be used in order to obtain a package build shell
environment with the ``pkgtool.sh`` script, e.g.:
```
midipix_build@sandbox:(src/midipix_build)> $ ./pkgtool.sh -a nt64 -b debug -s mc
==> 2020/03/11 15:46:28 Launching shell `/usr/bin/zsh' within package environment and `/home/midipix_build/midipix/nt64/debug/tmp'.
==> 2020/03/11 15:46:28 Run $R to rebuild `mc'.
==> 2020/03/11 15:46:28 Run $RS <step> to restart the specified build step of `mc'
==> 2020/03/11 15:46:28 Run $D to automatically regenerate the patch for `mc'.
midipix_build@sandbox:(mc-native-x86_64-nt64-midipix/obj)> $
```
If a package build shell environment is desired for a package that has either not been
built at all or built successfully, ``pkgshell.sh`` will attempt to rebuild the package
at build steps up until, by default, ``build``, and then forcibly abort the build and
write ``${BUILD_WORKDIR}/${PKG_NAME}.dump`` as above prior to entering the shell.

[//]: # "{{{ 4.1. Build steps"
## 4.1. Build steps
Package builds are divided up into consecutively executed build steps until
completion or aborted on failure unless relaxed mode is enabled by passing
``-R``.
Each build step corresponds to a function in the corresponding ``subr/pkg_*.subr``
script and may be overriden entirely by a function named ``pkg_<package name>_<build step>()``
or composed in terms of prior and/or subsequent execution by a function named
``pkg_<package name>_<build step>_pre()`` and/or ``pkg_<package name>_<build step>_post()``,
respectively, in the package's ``vars`` file. If a function named ``pkg_<package name>_all()``
exists, it will override all build steps.
Build step status is tracked on a per-package basis by state files beneath
``${BUILD_WORKDIR}`` following the format ``.<package name>.<build step>``;
package build completion corresponds to the pseudo-build step ``finish``.
