Hello, The “native” stdenv means building the whole operating system (kernel excluded), which is indeed a lot of software packages.
Currently Nixpkgs’s native stdenv works only on GNU/Linux (i.e., glibc, GNU Coreutils, etc.) and it can cross-build GNU/Hurd. For Solaris, you’d have to package its own libc and kernel headers, to start with (rather OpenSolaris, since Solaris is proprietary IIUC.) You could try GNU/kOpenSolaris, which would save you the need to package another libc, and may also avoid portability issues: http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~dtbartle/opensolaris/ Thanks, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
