The install script was escaping the Nix environment on Mac OS by using `xcrun -sdk macos clang` as its C compiler. Using the Nix compiler required declaring the necessary frameworks as inputs and patching build scripts to assume MacOS 10.12 (and not try to detect). So cached derivations prior to this would probably not work on all intended target machines. This *might* also fix installCheck on Darwin on Hydra. Other minor fixes: * Disable parallel building due to a race with a missing y.tab.h * Use NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE/NIX_LDFLAGS instead of trying to synthesize something like them. * X11 dependencies aren't used on Darwin when the windowing system is correctly detected
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.
