This changes cygwin stdenv, but I don't think it will hurt much people. This allows mkDerivation to get "dontRebase=true" to skip the usual cygwin rebase. This is required, if we are using this stdenv to build DLLs for win32 inside x86_64-cygwin, because /bin/rebase crashes at finding an arch mismatch. Additionally, we don't need any rebase for libraries built by visual studio and meant for visual studio (my use case). I'm using nix in x86_64-cygwin to build libraries with visual studio, both for x86_64 and x86.
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.
