 Makuru | Why does it work with rustc but not with fenix? | 16:05:10 |
| Makuru | Where does rustc change stuff? | 16:05:26 |
 dacid44 | How do I manage binaries from crates.io with nix? like, stuff I'd usually install by running cargo install cargo-make | 16:51:26 |
| dacid44 | if it matters, I'm currently using fenix for my Rust toolchain | 16:53:28 |
| dacid44 | also, was cargo-make removed from nixpkgs? I have an old project that pulls it from nixpkgs just fine, but it doesn't appear to exist there anymore | 16:58:16 |

 Ben Sparks | well ideally they'd be packaged in nixpkgs, so just an install like any other | 16:58:32 |

| dacid44 | cargo-make seems to have been removed from nixpkgs | 16:59:16 |

 ghpzin | Still there on current master, search.nixos.org is just having problems. | 17:01:21 |
| dacid44 | ah. Yeah I just tried it in my home-manager config and it worked | 17:01:40 |
| dacid44 | in general though, how would I do that for something that hasn't been packaged already? Do I have to fully package it myself, or is there a way to just plug in the name on crates.io and maybe a rust toolchain derivation or something and have it be built and installed as if by cargo install? | 17:04:42 |
| ghpzin | Packaging it yourself.

can help for simpler cases
But things like adding required native libraries or patching weird build.rs things would need manual fixes after. | 17:10:30 |
| Makuru | Figured it out! Needed to add llvmPackages.bintools. | 17:40:48 |
| Makuru | and this: RUSTFLAGS -C link-self-contained=-linker | 17:41:25 |

 n8henrie | Hi all -- relative novice, hoping someone can help me run a rust binary built outside of nix in a nixosTest (as part of a bisect to fix a problem upstream). I've been using runCommand to copy it into the test image with autoPatchelfHook providing the dependencies and dontStrip = true, but still getting symbol lookup error: /nix/store/...espanso/bin/espanso: undefined symbol: _ZN12wxWindowBase14RegisterHotKeyEiii at runtime (even though wxGTK32 is in the buildInputs).
Including all the buildInputs for an xorg-based linux system from https://github.com/espanso/espanso/blob/dev/nix/espanso.nix
Anyone know why copying a binary that runs fine outside nix into a NixOS VM would give me this wx-related missing symbol error when all the required libraries seem to be linked (at least I don't see anything obviously missing based on ldd)?
| 20:41:54 |
| ghpzin | Do you need to do something special during runtime to trigger it ? | 21:29:43 |
