Nixpkgs: Arduino: binaries installed through Boards Manager fail to run

[tg-x]

Describe the bug
Binaries installed through the Boards Manager in Arduino IDE
fail to run due to missing shared libraries.

A solution to this is to patchelf them manually after installation.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Tools > Boards > Boards Manager
2. install Arduino SAM Boards
3. Verify/Compile

Expected behavior
Code is compiled using the installed binaries

Metadata
Please run nix run nixpkgs.nix-info -c nix-info -m and paste the result.

@tg-x Which package provides "Arduino IDE"?

[tg-x]

arduino-1.8.5

[veprbl]

I see that we have an extra commit on master that is not on release-19.09: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/4c85abae94b0a55ff76387c1f1793370a170dda8#diff-556d00d6117d82c7a9b1845340d48283
@tg-x Could you try arduino-1.8.9 from master?

[tg-x]

same issue with arduino-1.8.9 from master

[veprbl]

@tg-x For documentation purposes, could you, please, post the error messages and manual patchelf commands that fix it for you.

for the Arduino AVR Boards package it looks like this:

> ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino5/bin/avr-gcc                                                                                                                                              
zsh: no such file or directory: ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino5/bin/avr-gcc

> ldd ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino5/bin/avr-gcc                                                                                                                                          
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe11fb4000)                                                                                                                                                                                      
        libm.so.6 => /nix/store/h0p0h3rh1q4i2yavzm3yqi716s9yaj2f-glibc-2.27/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f145d6f4000)                                                                                                                    
        libc.so.6 => /nix/store/h0p0h3rh1q4i2yavzm3yqi716s9yaj2f-glibc-2.27/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f145d53e000)                                                                                                                    
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /nix/store/h0p0h3rh1q4i2yavzm3yqi716s9yaj2f-glibc-2.27/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f145d88c000)

then running patchelf --set-interpreter for all the binaries fixes this:

for bin in ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino5/avr/bin/* ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avr-gcc/7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino5/avr/bin/*; do
  ld=$(ldd $bin | awk '/ld-linux/{print $3}')
  if [ "$ld" -ne "" ]; then patchelf --set-interpreter "$ld" "$bin"; fi
done

I have a simple package that puts arduino in an FHSEnv. It could probably be adapted into something in-tree eventually

with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
  unwrappedArduino = pkgs.arduino;
  in buildFHSUserEnv {
    name = "arduino";
    passthru = { inherit (unwrappedArduino) pname version meta; };
    targetPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [
      unwrappedArduino
      zlib
      (python3.withPackages (p: with p; [ pyserial ]))
    ];
    extraInstallCommands = ''
      mkdir -p $out/share/applications
      cp ${unwrappedArduino}/share/applications/arduino.desktop $out/share/applications/arduino.desktop
      substituteInPlace $out/share/applications/arduino.desktop \
          --replace ${unwrappedArduino}/bin/arduino $out/bin/arduino
    '';
    runScript = "arduino";
  }

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue.

To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.

If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them.

Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel.
