Hi.. I've never heard about NixOS so I am not sure, what exactly do you need.. but if you want to compile Rebol (my fork) for a new system, you can use this bootstrap source. Rebol sources are partially generated using Rebol itself.. the mentioned boostrap branch contains these generated files so one can just edit the makefile and make the initial version for the new OS.. and use this bootstrap version to make a real version. |

I just installed NixOS on my Mac and I can use Rebol there: |

@Oldes looks like there's some misunderstanding. I'll try to clear this to the best of my information:

NixOS is just a Linux distro with the Nix package manager as its only way to manage binaries and installs. The bootstrap branch should allow you to build a pipeline to generate the Rebol binary you need without a circular dependency. |

I should probably update the bootstrap branch as it is quite behind now (3.7.2). Anyway... I am not familiar with all kinds of Linux packagers. I've tried to make a package for Alpine Linux some time ago, which was also the reason for the bootstrap branch, but I give up that afford. If I can help somehow with the Nix, just let me know how. |

@Oldes I'm using the bootstrap branch, just as you've mentioned, but I was wondering how to continue forward? I've built the 64-bit version using $ tree tmp

The binary should be in the same folder like the make file (if the compilation is successful). |

@Oldes my bad, I should have checked it properly. I was able to build Rebol3 successfully.
Just a suggestion - would you be okay with renaming the tag to |

@Oldes looks like this is going to be a lot of work than I had originally thought. Since Nix tries to create a reproducible build, stuff like git simply does not work inside the build. There is a sample example used by red, but since it does not use seem to be using Siskin-framework, I'm gonna have to ask to a senior maintainer. |

You can get sources directly from any release without git... like: https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3/archive/refs/tags/3.15.0.zip (the Builder is just a customised Rebol which executes the script) So you can just get the script and use it with the bootstrapped Rebol and the rebol3.nest file. So it would be something like: |

Of course.. it would be easier, when there would be already Rebol (or even Siskin) package as it is the only dependency.. except the compiler itself. |

This is going to take a while. Since I'm a little busy now, I'll update you around next week. |

I'm trying to package Rebol3 on NixOS by creating an expression, but it looks like the build tool is not the already-available-and-supported
makeormeson. In order to build Rebol3, I need the Siskin-framework, but in order to use Siskin-framework, I also need Rebol3? I can't use binaries directly on NixOS, as you know, patchELF issues.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
