Variables controlling wafHook#
wafHook Exclusive Variables#
The variables below are exclusive of wafHook.
wafPath#
Location of the waf tool. It defaults to ./waf, to honor software projects that include it directly inside their source trees.
If wafPath doesn't exist, then wafHook will copy the waf provided from Nixpkgs to it.
wafFlags#
Controls the flags passed to waf tool during build and install phases. For settings specific to build or install phases, use wafBuildFlags or wafInstallFlags respectively.
dontAddWafCrossFlags#
When set to true, don't add cross compilation flags during configure phase.
dontUseWafConfigure#
When set to true, don't use the predefined wafConfigurePhase.
dontUseWafBuild#
When set to true, don't use the predefined wafBuildPhase.
