 bew | And is there a way to run tests without nix develop / nix-shell ? | 09:41:20 |
 Enzime | the nix build runs them although that might make for a slow feedback loop :) | 09:41:59 |
| bew | I'm retrying a clean build in nix-shell.. we'll see how it goes | 09:43:12 |
| bew | And I didn't have any $LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var | 09:43:44 |

FYI I'm making a little change to registry, to solve https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4874 (one of my issues), I did my changes but I can't find test cases. Am I missing something? Hm, now there's use-registries = false | 09:44:26 |
| bew | In reply to @balsoft:balsoft.ru
Hm, now there's use-registries = false but that will disable all registries (even the user one) no? | 09:44:57 |
| balsoft | Yes | 09:45:07 |
| balsoft | You only want to disable the global registry? | 09:45:14 |
| bew | yes | 09:45:19 |
| balsoft | Ok then | 09:46:05 |
| bew | in my home config I declaratively generate my ~/.config/nix/registry.json for user registry | 09:46:13 |
| bew | (I wrote about it earlier today FYI: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-to-pin-nix-registry-nixpkgs-to-release-channel/14883/3) | 09:46:58 |
| bew | nix-shell fails the same way:
[nix-shell:~/Projects/opensource/nix-stuff/nix]$ make
GEN doc/manual/nix.json

| Enzime | hm, I wonder why it's looking for 1.76.0 is that the version you're running on Arch? | 10:02:42 |
| bew | hmm yes, I have arch packages boost & boost-libs at version 1.76.0-1 | 10:05:31 |
| Enzime | I would do an env | grep boost and look for non-Nix paths | 10:07:51 |
| bew | there are no non-Nix paths | 10:11:30 |
| bew | boost appears in $buildInputs $NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE and $NIX_LDFLAGS but all in /nix/store, and all about boost 1.69.0 | 10:14:12 |
| Enzime | In reply to @bew:matrix.org
boost appears in $buildInputs $NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE and $NIX_LDFLAGS but all in /nix/store, and all about boost 1.69.0 yeah I had a look, configure.ac uses AX_BOOST_BASE the definition of which you can see in aclocal.m4 | 10:35:07 |
| Enzime | https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_boost_base.html according to docs, it searches FHS paths | 10:36:26 |
| Enzime | I'm guessing this just requires setting the correct flags somewhere to use Nix's boost | 10:36:53 |
| bew | in configure script I've seen there is a flag called --with-boost-libdir maybe we could use that? | 10:38:04 |
| bew | * in configure script I've seen there is a flag called --with-boost-libdir=DIR maybe we could use that? | 10:38:15 |
| Enzime | possibly --with-boost? not sure if that's for a source root | 10:38:24 |
| Enzime | I'm not too familiar with C/C++ build systems, but I'm guessing these are flags for ./configure | 10:38:59 |
| Enzime | just to confirm you're using $configureFlags with ./configure right? | 10:39:53 |

just to confirm you're using $configureFlags with ./configure right? yes | 10:42:48 |
