In Nixpkgs, wafHook overrides the default configure, build, and install phases.
Variables controlling wafHook {#waf-hook-variables-controlling}#
wafHook Exclusive Variables {#waf-hook-exclusive-variables}#
The variables below are exclusive of wafHook.
wafPath {#waf-path}#
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 {#waf-flags}#
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 {#dont-add-waf-cross-flags}#
When set to true, don't add cross compilation flags during configure phase.
dontUseWafConfigure {#dont-use-waf-configure}#
When set to true, don't use the predefined wafConfigurePhase.
dontUseWafBuild {#dont-use-waf-build}#
When set to true, don't use the predefined wafBuildPhase.
dontUseWafInstall {#dont-use-waf-install}#
When set to true, don't use the predefined wafInstallPhase.
