Want to add a package? There are 3 simple steps!
|
||
|
|
1. Add the needed system names to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt.
|
||
|
|
2. cd <path to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt> ; nix-shell --pure --run 'quicklisp-to-nix .'
|
||
|
|
You might want to specify also the --cacheSystemInfoDir and --cacheFaslDir
|
||
|
|
parameters to preserve some data between runs. For example, it is very
|
||
|
|
useful when you add new packages with native dependencies and fail to
|
||
|
|
specify the native dependencies correctly the first time.
|
||
|
|
(Might be nice to ensure the cache directories exist)
|
||
|
|
3. Add native libraries and whatever else is needed to quicklisp-to-nix-overrides.nix.
|
||
|
|
If libraries are needed during package analysis then add them to shell.nix, too.
|
||
|
|
4. Sometimes there are problems with loading implementation-provided systems.
|
||
|
|
In this case you might need to add more systems in the implementation's (so
|
||
|
|
SBCL's) entry into *implementation-systems* in quicklisp-to-nix/system-info.lisp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To update to a more recent quicklisp dist modify
|
||
|
|
lispPackages.quicklisp to have a more recent distinfo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
quicklisp-to-nix-system-info is responsible for installing a quicklisp
|
||
|
|
package into an isolated environment and figuring out which packages
|
||
|
|
are required by that system. It also extracts other information that
|
||
|
|
is readily available once the system is loaded. The information
|
||
|
|
produced by this program is fed into quicklisp-to-nix. You usually
|
||
|
|
don't need to run this program unless you're trying to understand why
|
||
|
|
quicklisp-to-nix failed to handle a system. The technique used by
|
||
|
|
quicklisp-to-nix-system-info is described in its source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
quicklisp-to-nix is responsible for reading
|
||
|
|
quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt, running quicklisp-to-nix-system-info,
|
||
|
|
and generating the nix packages associated with the closure of
|
||
|
|
quicklisp systems.
