 fzakaria | it assumes it was installed on the system ?
So Nix installed via the system will install the shared libraries and headers or is there a -dev version needed. | 15:56:09 |
| fzakaria | (If i were to use Nix as a buildInput) | 15:56:21 |
 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Corresponding components install the .pc files to dev output | 15:56:50 |
| fzakaria | cool okay I see the pc files in nix.dev store and they point to the nix lib directory | 16:01:51 |
| fzakaria | (Not sure how someone gets these files without using nix itself but maybe that's by design :P ) | 16:02:29 |
| fzakaria | Interesting, locally
nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.nix-fetchers-tests-run passes but on CI it fails.

| fzakaria | Also, CLion to debug live Nix has been amazing; unfortunately the GoogleTest integration doesn't work -- doesn't seem to hydrate the "Target"
| 16:08:45 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Yeah that's pretty unfortunate, but the order of tests matters. It means that locally there's a test that has initialized libstore already | 16:30:20 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Can't help here, since I don't have jetbrains stuff | 16:30:53 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | You'd need to use the new nixComponents packaging. It makes it so you can use the libs without bringing the cli with them | 16:32:00 |
| fzakaria | ty for the answers! | 20:34:03 |
| fzakaria | i recommend the jetbrains stuff; having the gdb integrated debugger has made investigating issues 100x easier | 20:34:19 |
