This involved several pieces: - Always disable GTK GUI support under Darwin. The gtk3 package depends transitively on dbus, which depends transitively on systemd, which is not currently supported on Darwin. (I gather that it may be possible to work around this in the future.) - Also disable the native GUI support under Darwin (using the --disable-xcode flag). Building this GUI would require using the Xcode build system, which I was not able to figure out how to do; for now, all builds on Darwin are command-line-only. - Add the lzma package as a dependency on all platforms. - Add dependencies on the AudioToolbox, Foundation, libobjc, and VideoToolbox packages on Darwin.
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 https://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-19.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-19.03
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
