Hi,
I managed to build version 1.35.0 of the boost libraries with the nix
expression that is attached below. The all-packages.nix reference looks
like this:
boost = import ../.nixpkgs/boost-1.35.0.nix
{
inherit fetchurl stdenv icu zlib bzip2 python;
};
The nix expression can be improved quite a bit. For starters, it should
be customizable whether debug-versions of libraries are desired. There
should probably also be a "doc" flag that triggers installation of the
HTML documentation. I might be able to do that later, but the machine
I'm using right now is way too slow for repeatedly building that
package. :-)
Is there a way to tell nix-build that it should re-use a previously
generated working directory? I realize that this would make the build
less clean, but just unpacking that huge boost library archive takes a
while on my machine and it would be nice if that time could be saved
during package development.
Any feedback concerning that package is welcome.
Peter
