Install on nixos?

[Sid Kapur]

Has anyone successfully installed this package on Nixos? I keep getting the following error message:

checking for X... no
    configure: error: in `/run/user/1000/stack10666/X11-1.6.1.2':
    configure: error: X11 libraries not found, so X11 package cannot be built
    See `config.log' for more details

I have the following packages listed in my stack.yaml:

nix:
  enable: true
  packages: 
    - x11
    - xorg.libX11
    - xorg.libXext
    - xorg.libXinerama
    - xorg.libXrandr
    - xorg.libXrender

Which libraries does the package depend on, and where does it look for them?

This error message is about the C libraries/headers. I haven't used stack, so I can't be sure, but I suspect it's not capable of fetching and installing C libraries; use your package manager instead and make sure to grab the -dev or -devel versions.

Thanks! I think it's actually a stack problem, so I'll try getting help there.

What's in config.log?

This is actually not a helpful suggestion in this case, because stack in
nix mode does integrate and the quoted stack.yaml fragment should be
putting the X11 dev libs into the build environment.

I'm actually not sure where to find config.log, in any case. I don't know enough about stack internals to know where to look.

[brandon s allbery kf8nh]

Something like
~/.stack-work/dist/x86_64-linux/X11-1.6.0.1/build/config.log probably.

I managed to build X11 by also including gcc under packages in the stack.yaml
