Is it possible for you to post enough code that triggers the bug? I promise nothing, but somebody might have a look if you post it. Aloha, RK. On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 1:44 PM, Richard Wallace < rwall...@thewallacepack.net> wrote: > I will give those workarounds a try. I'm just confused about why

I will give those workarounds a try. I'm just confused about why it is necessary on one machine and not another. Part of the promise of nix is reproducible builds, but this appears to throw a monkey wrench into that notion. I'm also a bit surprised this doesn't come up more often. The project bein

[Nix-dev] ghc not able to find libz.so

Hello all, I put nix on a new machine today and tried to build a Haskell project that successfully builds on other machines. To my great surprise, I encountered this error [ 6 of 12] Compiling Rainicorn.Types ( src/Rainicorn/Types.hs, dist/build/hiberico/hiberico-tmp/Rainicorn/Types.o ) :

[Nix-dev] Bower2nix

Hi folks, I'm trying to use nix (and nixops) to deploy a web app. It includes some client-side components from bower. I've used bower2nix to generate some nix-expresssions for downloading the bower packages, but I can't quite see how to incorporate them into the derivation for my app. What I'd li

[Nix-dev] refactored package: stumpwm

2014-10-14 Thread Christian Lask
Dear all! My proposal to refactor the `stumpwm` package has been merged into `master` now. `stumpwm` now has version 0.98. `Stumpwm` is now no longer a lisp module, but a window-manager application. It was moved to pkgs/applications/window-managers/ accordingly. I split `stumpwm` into two packag

Ok, I propose that on your working Nix install: 1. you fork (github) and clone nixpkgs 2. do a nix-channel --update (use unstable channel) and checkout the revision it's at (see the last bit of the downloaded file) 3. you edit the file pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix to

Argh that's wrong, it's not reading default.nix but release.nix which doesn't let you specify a config. Thinking about that. On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 9:54 AM, Wout Mertens wrote: > Hi Joseph Joe, > > It seems your kernel configuration didn't make it into your image. > > This is where the configur

Yes, the system nixos tree is RO. I think you should make a whole copy of it to your place from system's tree or from github: git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git Then made your changes there and use release.nix from there for nix-build. On 10/14/2014 07:29 AM, Joseph Joe wrote: > David

Hi Joseph Joe, It seems your kernel configuration didn't make it into your image. This is where the configuration is read into the evaluation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/default.nix#L1 So it either reads the file pointed to by $NIXOS_CONFIG or it gets nixos-config from th
