After a few (approximately five) minutes the process is still producing xml. Looking at the output, after killing the process, there is a large amount of blank space plus the occasional line of xml, such as: <function column="15" line="47" path="/nix/store/k3jqgxqfwg6q9bgkys63c25lbjprl3gq-nixpkgs- 17.03pre96825.497e6d2/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix"> > > $ nix-instantiate --version > nix-instantiate (Nix) 1.11.2 > >
For my nix installation: $ nix-instantiate --version nix-instantiate (Nix) 1.11.4 Also, I have cloned the nixpkgs repository so that I can change the version more easily. To set the nixpkgs directory to be the same version as the version you are using: $ git checkout dde259d Then I get the same output: $ export NIX_REMOTE=daemon $ ./pre-inst-env guix import nix /data/paul/sourceCode/nixpkgs opencascade_oce ;;; SSAX warning: Skipping PI: xml trace: lib.zip is deprecated, use lib.zipAttrsWith instead trace: `mkStrict' is obsolete; use `mkOverride 0' instead. trace: `types.list' is deprecated; use `types.listOf' instead ;; converted from /data/paul/sourceCode/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/opencascade/oc e.nix:5 (package (name "opencascade-oce") (version "0.16") (source (origin (method url-fetch) (uri (string-append "https://github.com/tpaviot/oce/archive/OCE-"; version ".tar.gz")) (sha256 (base32 "05bmg1cjz827bpq8s0hp96byirm4c3zc9vx26qz76kjsg8ry87w4")))) (build-system gnu-build-system) (inputs `(("cmake" ,cmake) ("freetype" ,freetype) ("ftgl" ,ftgl) ("qt" ,qt) ("libtool" ,libtool) ("libXmu" ,libXmu) ("file" ,file) ("tk" ,tk) ("tcl" ,tcl) ("mesa" ,mesa))) (home-page "http://www.opencascade.org/";) (synopsis "Open CASCADE Technology, libraries for 3D modeling and numerical simulation") (description #f) (license #f)) paul$ cat /data/paul/sourceCode/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/opencascade/oc e.nix {stdenv, fetchurl, mesa, tcl, tk, file, libXmu, cmake, libtool, qt4, ftgl, freetype}: stdenv.mkDerivation rec { name = "opencascade-oce-0.16"; src = fetchurl { url = https://github.com/tpaviot/oce/archive/OCE-0.16.tar.gz; sha256 = "05bmg1cjz827bpq8s0hp96byirm4c3zc9vx26qz76kjsg8ry87w4"; }; buildInputs = [ mesa tcl tk file libXmu libtool qt4 ftgl freetype cmake ]; preConfigure = '' cmakeFlags="$cmakeFlags -DOCE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$out" ''; # https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83631 NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE = "-DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY"; enableParallelBuilding = true; meta = { description = "Open CASCADE Technology, libraries for 3D modeling and numerical simulation"; homepage = http://www.opencascade.org/; maintainers = with stdenv.lib.maintainers; [viric]; platforms = with stdenv.lib.platforms; linux; }; } This is almost usable, except the version of the file oce.nix has changed since the dde259d commit. Also, it may be nix-instantiate does not terminate for many other packages in recent versions of nixpkgs. Best, Paul.
