Hi,
I'm new to Nix, and kicking the tires.
Right now, I'm trying to compile dmd (the D compiler) using Nix, but when I
try to compile it, it can't seem to find my C++ compiler:
rix0rrr@moloch ~/D/n/nixpkgs(master)> nix-env -i dmd
installing `dmd-2.066.1'
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/wnpzsw0gjchi891kr60cvaq2r9z6bzq6-dmd-2.066.1.drv
.
.
.
building idgen
g++ -m64 idgen.c -o idgenn
make: g++: Command not found
.
.
.
error: build of
`/nix/store/wnpzsw0gjchi891kr60cvaq2r9z6bzq6-dmd-2.066.1.drv' failed
Running a build shell works fine:
rix0rrr@moloch ~/D/n/nixpkgs(master)> nix-build '<nixpkgs>' --run-env
-A dmd
[nix-shell:~/Dev/nix/nixpkgs]$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
But I notice that my regular PATH is still in effect (including /usr/bin),
and I figure it won't be in a "pure" Nix build, so I guess that kinda makes
sense.
Question is, why won't the dmd expression pick up the compiler normally?
The thing is using regular stdenv, and I guess it must have worked for
somebody, sometime.
I'm still on Mavericks, by the way.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Rico
