# Hare {#sec-language-hare}

## Building Hare programs with `hareHook` {#ssec-language-hare}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `hareHook` package sets up the environment for building Hare programs by
|
||
|
|
doing the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Setting the `HARECACHE`, `HAREPATH` and `NIX_HAREFLAGS` environment variables;
|
||
|
|
1. Propagating `harec`, `qbe` and two wrapper scripts for the hare binary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is not a function as is the case for some other languages --- *e. g.*, Go or
|
||
|
|
Rust ---, but a package to be added to `nativeBuildInputs`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Attributes of `hareHook` {#hareHook-attributes}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following attributes are accepted by `hareHook`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. `hareBuildType`: Either `release` (default) or `debug`. It controls if the
|
||
|
|
`-R` flag is added to `NIX_HAREFLAGS`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example for `hareHook` {#ex-hareHook}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
hareHook,
|
||
|
|
lib,
|
||
|
|
stdenv,
|
||
|
|
}: stdenv.mkDerivation {
|
||
|
|
pname = "<name>";
|
||
|
|
version = "<version>";
|
||
|
|
src = "<src>";
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nativeBuildInputs = [ hareHook ];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
meta = {
|
||
|
|
description = "<description>";
|
||
|
|
inherit (hareHook) badPlatforms platforms;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Cross Compilation {#hareHook-cross-compilation}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hareHook` should handle cross compilation out of the box. This is the main
|
||
|
|
purpose of `NIX_HAREFLAGS`: In it, the `-a` flag is passed with the architecture
|
||
|
|
of the `hostPlatform`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, manual intervention may be needed when a binary compiled by the build
|
||
|
|
process must be run for the build to complete --- *e. g.*, when using Hare's
|
||
|
|
`hare` module for code generation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In those cases, `hareHook` provides the `hare-native` script, which is a wrapper
|
||
|
|
around the hare binary for using the native (`buildPlatform`) toolchain.
