This basically does something similar than the AUR build: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vlc-qt5/ On our side, all there is to do is to force compiling using C++11 mode and use a patch that the AUR package took from the following upstream patchwork URL: https://patches.videolan.org/patch/14061/ Instead of passing CXXFLAGS to the configure script, I'm using sed here to make sure we don't override flags figured out by configure. For example if ./configure is used with CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 appended or prepended, we have something like: ... -I../include -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare ... While if we don't do that at all, we have something like: ... -I../include -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare ... Another way would be to use NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE, but that would affect even compilation of C code and thus resulting in a bunch of warnings like this: cc1: warning: command line option '-std=c++11' is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C So with our approach the flags during build look much better: ... -I../include -std=c++11 -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare ... Another thing I've changed is that the vlc_qt5 attribute in all-packages.nix now uses the latest Qt 5 version, because the build for Qt >= 5.7.0 is now no longer broken. I've also ordered the preConfigure attribute before the configureFlags attribute, because it makes more sense in terms of context (pre -> configure -> post). Tested by building on x86_64-linux with libsForQt56.vlc, libsForQt58.vlc and vlc (the Qt 4 version, just to be sure I didn't accidentally break it).

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-17.03
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
