nix develop on nix-darwin

[2gn]

To make nix develop work on nix-darwin, the following packages are required to be installed.

pkg-config
fontconfig
openssl
zlib
libiconv
darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.CoreGraphics
darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.Cocoa
darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.Foundation

and, the following error will be returned if those packages (CoreServices in this case) are not included:

error: 1 dependencies of derivation '/nix/store/61spam0k7b525a7ixdadsa7wcsh4aaxh-nix-shell-env.drv' failed to build

but I'm new to nix and I don't have any idea how I can let nix install these packages only on darwin. So, I'd like someone to hopefully implement this (for future nix-darwin users).

[2gn]

the error could not be fixed by adding the packages, maybe there are some *other problems.

[luxus]

did you got it working?

[2gn]

did you got it working?

No, not yet I’m afraid.

[luxus]

its a general problem, if you found a solution, i would love to see a update here.

[dbarrosop]

I opened a PR with a fix, if you could test it and comment on the PR I'd appreciate it (it worked on my machine™)

[2gn]

nix develop worked successfully thanks to #1294. but cargo run failed to run this time with similar errors. And I thought I could add CoreServices to buildInputs in devShell block as well to make it work, and it actually worked (although it may make flake.nix dirty ).

buildInputs = with pkgs; [
  cargo
  rustc
  rust-analyzer
  rustlings
] ++ lib.optionals stdenv.isDarwin [
  darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.CoreServices
];

Do you think it's a good idea? or would there be a better workaround?

P.S. This wasn't necessary.

[dbarrosop]

It depends, the "nix way" would be to add a package and app so you would be doing nix build and/or nix run instead but as this is a learning tool your proposal seems reasonable to me too. I am also unsure where the maintainers of rustlings stand with nix, I am quite new here myself.

Quick question though, do you need to run cargo run in this repo for any reason? I am only done through a few exercises and everything i needed so far was the command rustlings.

[2gn]

Sorry, I just realized I could run rustlings without running cargo run.
