Also when I try the third option, enter the development shell, and run:
[nix-shell:~/src/nix]$ make manual-html-open -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
make: *** No rule to make target 'manual-html-open'. Stop.
Make has been decommissioned in favor of Meson, that part can be removed from the instructions. | 15:16:05 |
| fricklerhandwerk | I won’t be able to make time to address this myself, so I’d greatly appreciate PRs to iron out these kinks and will review and merge them when I find a few quiet minutes | 15:18:21 |

 allrealmsoflife | Okay, I built it. I do nix --version to get the version number and add that to the flake command: nix build nix/2.24.11\#nix^doc. Otherwise just the #nix^doc it won't work. One way to grab the version inside the command: nix build nix/$(nix --version | awk '{print $3}')#nix^doc
Now the flake command builds the result-doc while the nix-build command builds the result directories. Both results do have the index.html within the ./result-doc/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html or ./result/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html.

| fricklerhandwerk | Hm, but does that build from the working directory? Why does one have to specify the version? | 17:40:29 |
| allrealmsoflife | it says:
❯ nix build .#nix^doc
error: derivation '/nix/store/hddqxzfqgx2fhj8q66ss3idym7pk7aj1-nix-2.26.0pre20250107_383ab87.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'doc'
Is it missing in the flake? the nix^doc as output? I'll check

Yeah it must be missing in the flake | 18:09:28 |
| allrealmsoflife | Simply running nix build .#nix-manual generates two outputs:
result: Contains the HTML manual, located at ./result/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html.result-man: Contains the compressed man pages, located in ./result-man/man1/*.gz.
Perhaps nix^doc was used in the past, but .#nix-manual is the correct output now.

| allrealmsoflife | Interesting, the nix^doc command does work in the nixpkgs root directory where it generates then the NixOS manual. I'm making a pr though | 08:18:16 |

I see, not sure then if changing to nix-manual is correct? I made a PR though for now The PR does the right thing. The most important part is that instructions are correct for each release, and primarily master | 09:45:25 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Thanks a lot for helping out, this is really valuable stuff. It prevents others from bailing out before even starting to contribute | 09:45:54 |
| allrealmsoflife | Thank you, very happy to help out, I actually stream while doing all this, it's fun, hey more PR's for me xD | 10:14:24 |
