`make install` was failing presumably due to an upstream cross-compilation bug: Makefile:3440: *** Recursive variable 'INSTALL' references itself (eventually). Stop. While at it, remove the old ugly cross buildPhase. It was seemingly trying to work around the fact that the man pages are generated by piping each command's --help output to help2man. That obviously doesn't work while cross-compiling. Instead, set PERL=missing in the environment to make the build system think there's no perl available to run help2man. (This approach was stolen from buildroot.)
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
