The config.guess script tries to detect various ARM optimization flags via /proc/cpuinfo. This is not only impure, but the detection is also broken on multicore machines; on my quad-core system the machine type is autodetected as 'neon neon neon neon-unknown-linux-gnueabihf': checking build system type... Invalid configuration `neon': machine `neon' not recognized configure: error: /nix/store/bafimhdj1yaxj6m1hvq7wvhwwizc939x-bootstrap-tools/bin/sh ./config.sub neon neon neon neon-unknown-linux-gnueabihf failed builder for ‘/nix/store/1npm2358bpvclj5w7fqjjwg72vbb0d79-gmp-6.0.0a.drv’ failed with exit code 1 Override the system type with the output of GNU config.guess to avoid the autodetection.
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-14.12 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
