Question: Can nixcrpkgs be used to crosscompile nixpkgs package?

tex opened this issue · comments

This is a question, I want to cross compile some nixpkgs package on Linux to Windows.

That is an interesting idea, but no, nixcrpkgs makes no attempt to support the format of nixpkgs package recipes. I am not a fan of how complicated those recipes are, both on the Nix side and in the builder shell scripts. I prefer simple, explicit steps instead having a bunch of stuff get generated for me automatically.
