#Nix: Building nightly (docgen issue?)

👋 I'm trying to adapt the nixpkgs 0.11 derivation for 0.12 (nightly/master), using @dreamy mauve's LLVM 17 draft. I think almost everything works, except for the postBuild, which is:

  postBuild = ''
    stage3/bin/zig run ../tools/docgen.zig -- ../doc/langref.html.in langref.html --zig $PWD/stage3/bin/zig
  '';

Last bit of the log is:

Generating docgen examples [1874/5445] error: unable to generate DLL import .lib file for ntdll: FileNotFound

The following command exited with code 1:

@dreamy mauve were you able to get Zig building yet with your branch? Not too sure if this is drift anywhere or if something else is missing. Any clues are appreciated 🙂

The odd thing here is the Windows stuff, given I'm building for Linux, but I'm just going off of the assumption that this is a cross-compilation thing. I haven't changed the derivation with the exception of swapping out the GH fetcher for fetchurl.

Nice ty 🙂 Also looks like the build worked too just with --skip-code-tests added to docgen, and switching up to fetchzip to get the check phase to pass

OK that's good to know. That's a thread I can probably pull more on later

ty for the LLVM work too... looks like this is getting Zig built for me and working for what I need it for!
