it is also helpful to set NIX_DEBUG=1 in derivations
<

Than the cc wrapper will print a lot lot more stuff

On linux I sometimes use sysdig -c stderr or execsnoop to get all programs executed.
<

In freebsd there might be an aquivalent using dtrace.

drakonis: still quite broken though

_0mp just committed my Nix patch to ports :)
<
_0mp>
oh hi qyliss :)
<
_0mp>
I forgot to rejoin the channel
<
qyliss>
oh! you've missed a lot!
<
qyliss>
I've been working on FreeBSD Nix things for the past few days
<
qyliss>
good thing the channel is logged :)
<
_0mp>
Yes, I'll probably take a look at the logs soonish
<
_0mp>
regarding hacking on freebsd nix: wonderful! how is it going?
<
qyliss>
We can build simple C programs in Nixpkgs now, but C++ is broken
<
qyliss>
all I really did was merge the PR that was opened by somebody else a year ago
<
qyliss>
(as well as fixing NIx)
<
_0mp>
oh, regarding "sysdig -c stderr or execsnoop", Mic92
<
qyliss>
fixing C++ is going to be tricky, and possibly require a policy discussion.
<
_0mp>
dwatch may be the kind of wrapper for dtrace you are looking for
<
_0mp>
anyway, let me know if you have any other patches for me to merge into the port (or fixes for that one faliing/hanging test). :)
<
qyliss>
_0mp: out of curiosity, how long does it take until a new binary package is available?
<
qyliss>
(maybe it is already? I didn't check)
<
_0mp>
hmmm, I'd say about a day?
<
qyliss>
looking forward to being able to tell people they can pkg install nix
<
_0mp>
Keep in mind that even when the version with your patch becomes avialable
<
_0mp>
it is only available on the "latest" branch of pkg
<
_0mp>
I've not backported it to our current quarterly branch 2021Q1
<
_0mp>
perhaphs I should. I'll do it this evening
