Hello,
I noticed the nixos nix.conf includes /bin in the build chroot.
I saw that perl, when using the system() command, it runs /bin/sh "on unix", the
manual says.
In ubuntu, /bin/sh happens to point to /bin/dash, and so that is not able to
parse a thing like "source $stdenv/setup".
The buildenv package consists of a perl builder calling:
system("eval \"\$postBuild\"")
So, we can consider either buildenv or perl impure.
What do you think? Should we patch perl (a matter of stdenv-updates), or you
favour this impurity? I vote for the first.
I triggered the problem trying to build nixos in Ubuntu.
Regards,
Lluís.
