Right, I am talking about cross-compiling, not native building. Looks like it is not a simple task, but luckily my idea is not to build whole NixOS in that way (as I wrote in my previous letter, sorry for that). Actually, I'd be happy to get the following: 1) cross-toolchain (I feel I know how to build it already) 2) the kernel + bootloader (actually, do I need to build a bootloader? can RPi boot the kernel directly?) 3) busybox 4) several other packages, preferably, a webserver (Note, that on this stage I don't need nix-env running on a device.) Then I'd like to develop a method to flash the SD with the binaries, I think it could be much like preparing an iso image. And I am not familiar with RPi's booting process. wiki says that there is a situation with vfat.. still I hope that setting up busybox should be possible, is it? >> i think most updated info on RPi topic can be found here: >> http://nixos.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi Cool, I didn't notice that, thanks! I see, the mainline solution is to go and build natively and to setup a distcc to speedup the process. Do we have full-featured nix-env/nix-store running on the device that way?
