Re: [Nix-dev] how to 'just run binaries' in nixos

I have a couple of methods for doing this. I just posted them onto my blog: https://brianmckenna.org/blog/running_binaries_on_nixos Hopefully one of them is suitable for you. I'd love to learn if there's ways to improve on these. On 22 March 2017 at 09:41, Azul wrote: > is

Re: [Nix-dev] docker import ignores dockerTools.buildImage config

Yes, it's "docker load" instead of "docker import" The escaping thing is due to jshon trying to support generating JSON which can be inserted into a tag. It adds a backslash so that it never generates the string "" On 26/09/2016, Michael Fellinger wrote: > Try using

Re: [Nix-dev] Haskell workflow - ghc not in PATH - recommended way / documentation?

I think you might want to use: nix-shell -A env The `env` attribute creates a derivation that brings in GHC. You can generate a shell.nix via `cabal2nix --shell` which detects if you're in a shell and automatically uses the attribute. On 23 June 2016 at 19:24, Marc Weber

Re: [Nix-dev] On the sad state of remote-builds for the end-user

Hi Matthias, I remember a similar conversation we had a few months ago. If you use sudo, you can skip the signature checking: https://www.mail-archive.com/nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl/msg18560.html It's not ideal - but does this same method get you unstuck? On 14 June 2016 at 01:19, Matthias

Re: [Nix-dev] Haskell dependencies in a project

You need to call pkgs.haskellPackages.callPackage on my-dep, so it will look something like: dependencies = with pkgs.haskellPackages; [ aeson (callpackage my-dep { }) ]; It's also possible to use the 'override' attribute instead, which would be useful if you later add a dependency

Re: [Nix-dev] Did we just get windows support for free?

apt-get is available, so it is possible to use a package manager, but I'm not sure which parts are read-only. On 31 March 2016 at 06:01, Mathnerd314 wrote: > The talk was scheduled before today; I think it's too early for April. > >

Re: [Nix-dev] [Idris] Idris packages in nixpkgs

Coincidentally I had started updating my Nix + Idris work just a few days ago: https://github.com/idris-hackers/idrispkgs It's much less powerful than yours but has some prepackaged libraries, for example Lightyear and idris-config. I'd love to adapt these into idris-modules now. Where should

Re: [Nix-dev] How to check which package pulls in (for example) yesod?

If you run: nix-store -q --tree /nix/var/nix/profiles/system You'll see a tree of dependencies for your current running system. I think git-annex uses Yesod, if you have that installed. On 4 November 2015 at 08:09, Matthias Beyer wrote: > Hi, > > I have no haskell

Re: [Nix-dev] npm instlall phantomjs not working correctly

I've had this problem before. PhantomJS downloads and runs a binary. The binary it downloads doesn't point to an actual linker on NixOS (hence the no such file error). You can see this: $ ls -l $(patchelf --print-interpreter node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs) ls: cannot
