 lxsameer | how can I get the store path to a dependency? I want to set an env var for cmake to find a dependency | 21:56:25 |
 CRTified | Are you talking g about flake inputs or derivations as dependency? | 21:57:16 |
| CRTified | * Are you talking about flake inputs or derivations as dependency? | 21:57:29 |
| lxsameer | derivations as dependency i suppose. a package in nixpkgs.legacyPackages... | 21:58:22 |
| CRTified | In that case, you should probably ask in #nix:nixos.org as it's not really flake specific | 22:19:45 |
| CRTified | (but to keep it short: you can use the packages as part of a string and it will get resolved as a store path, so something like "${some Derivation}" is a string containing the path to the store) | 22:21:16 |
| lxsameer | thank you 🙇 | 22:21:41 |
| CRTified | https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/string-interpolation.html there are derivations explicitly listed as interpolateable | 22:22:58 |
| lxsameer | Thanks a million | 22:23:12 |

| lxsameer | hey friends, I'm trying to create a musl based shell using devShell like this:
devShells = {
${x86_64-linux} = nixpkgs.pkgsCross.libcxxStdenv.mkShell {
nativeBuildInputs = native_build_inputs nixpkgs.pkgsCross;
buildInputs = build_inputs nixpkgs.pkgsCross;
shellHook = ''fish && exit'';
};
| 19:06:53 |
| lxsameer | but I get an error that says: error: attribute 'pkgsCross' missing | 19:07:18 |
| lxsameer | should I do anything special to access pkgsCross? | 19:07:41 |
| CRTified | Is nixpkgs your nixpkgs flake input? If yes, check out the legacyPackages attribute | 19:14:37 |
| lxsameer | yes it is. ok let me try | 19:15:02 |
| lxsameer | should I import nixpkgs even though it passed as an argument ? | 19:17:32 |
| CRTified | In reply to @lxsameer:matrix.org
should I import nixpkgs even though it passed as an argument ? Either you do that, passing an appropriate system value along, or you use nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.pkgsCross.foooooo | 19:20:43 |
| CRTified | (sorry, on mobile right now, so it's a pain to do proper markdown) | 19:21:10 |
| lxsameer | ahhhhh, got it, I was missing x86_64-linux part | 19:21:19 |
| lxsameer | thank you | 19:21:22 |

| mr-qubo | Hi! I'm trying to add commands to devShell, like this:
commands = [
{
name = "run-client";
command = "nixGLIntel client -v --host c71ee55ef19fb0c4b934610d-1024-game-server.challenge.master.camp.allesctf.net -p 31337 --ssl --username 'justCatTheFish!1' --password password123";
}
];
But I get this error:
[...]
162|
163| commands = [
| ^
164| {
error: cannot coerce a set to a string
What's the correct syntax? | 11:26:30 |

What's the correct syntax? weird that does seem correct https://github.com/search?q=devShell+commands+language%3ANix&type=code&l=Nix | 20:46:22 |
| lxsameer | hey friends, I have the following flake, my aim is to have a shell with musl, clang16 and libcxx16. But when i do nix develop nix builds clang-11 and then tries to build clang-16, but it fails with an error about a missing clang-tblgen. Given that, tablegen has to be built as part of llvm itself. Then am i doing it wrong or is it a bug. | 21:29:37 |
