1) add pcre dependency (for some reason builtin_pcre doesn't work) 2) Disable dependencies that are currently not supported by the expression. Most users should not need those. These are disabled to prevent cmake from picking them up from system and causing impurities. Once there is a user who needs these they will have to update the expression. 3) disable some OSX detection code that relies on /usr/bin/sw_vers that chooses c++ library, silences warnings and sets macosx-version-min. macosx-version-min is already set by nix using MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable.
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
