Nix support for sampctl
ohmypxl opened this issue · comments
It would be good if we can install sampctl via Nix since NixOS got popular and I'm using it.
You are free to build it yourself for armv7, but I don't have any plans to release another version of sampctl anytime soon.

NixOS is not for armv7 only BTW, and I'm using it for my PC which is x86_64, but sure!
if it supports x86_64 then it should work with the linux version of the release, else goreleaser doesn't support it, which means we will never support it
It would be great to see a Nix package for sampctl!
I'm not sure how many other users are using Nix so that's why it's tough to put the time and effort into supporting it but if you could contribute whatever manifest files necessary to make sampctl installable on Nix that would be welcome!
I might reconsider this issue since i can't find a suitable method to install lib32 like other distros such as "Arch Linux", for example: sudo pacman -S lib32-glibc
But i'll come back later once i'm understand about this all, so i'll close the issue for now until i'm ready for it.
The reason for this reconsideration is, NixOS doesn't seem to let me install lib32 freely (AFAIK) and that's why i close this issue first and reopening it again once i understand it.
Oh btw, https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/32bit_Applications is interesting section that i still confused about, especially this quote:
Things like
pkgsi686Linux.stdenv.mkDerivationorpkgsi686Linux.callPackagethen nix will give you 32bit everything
