I tried that just now and it worked fine. I used this for nix-shell: with import <nixpkgs> {}; { glibEnv = stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "glib"; buildInputs = [ gnome.gtk_doc autoconf automake gnumake bison cmake flex gettext gperf intltool libtool pkgconfig openssl ruby scons unzip python wget zlib libffi ]; }; } The extra packages are packages that are in the mxe nix-shell environment; I thought I'd try to keep the environments close to see what would happen. > > * If you can successfully build ordinary glib that way, but can't > build mxe glib, it might be time to take it back to the mxe people. > OK so it sounds like maybe this is an mxe issue after all? > > James >
