Re: [Nix-dev] Update Julia to today's git
Yes those fetchurl are my mistake and weren't used in the build anyway. I've however made it to use_system_mpfr and removed the useless fetchs (including the pcre source one which doesn't seem used). To do so I had to bump the mpfr version to 3.1.2. Patch attached. I'll be sure to setup a github fork soon. In trunk it is better to have two versions of MPFR, I think. GCC depends on MPFR, so having two versions of MPFR is acceptable, but altering the default MPFR version just because of Julia is a bad idea. I realize now that not everyone may want to do the full rebuild (gcc, coreutils, ...) I got by updating mpfr. The good way of doing this would then be to : - add the new mpfr .nix as 3.1.2.nix and restore the original default.nix - in the julia expresion replace the references to mpfr by mpfr-3.1.2 The other way would be to let julia build the newer mpfr on each rebuild. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Re: [Nix-dev] Update Julia to today's git
I'm completely new to Nix so I apologize in advance if this is not the right place. I installed NixOs yesterday and I needed a recent version of Julia (julialang.org) and figured it would be a good way to try out Nix. Here is a patch to nixpkgs that brings julia to today's git (ea277f39ebdf730aabfc422af66e911288380921) and its dependencies to the needed version (liblapack:3.4.2, suitesparse:4.2.0, openblas:0.2.6). Can someone have a look ? Did you try to make at least libunwind taken from the dependencies? Julia has many dependencies and wants to build them itself, but for some of them I managed to make Julia take prebuilt ones. If you tried and failed to use prebuilt versions of libunwind (and maybe suitesparse), I won't try to change it; otherwise it seems worth it to try.

Re: [Nix-dev] Update Julia to today's git
Hi Oscar Blumberg, Looks fine to me. Because I'm sure you'll I've updated the wiki talking about how to create a pull request: https://nixos.org/wiki/Pull_request Or wait till somebody picks the patch and commits it. If you have trouble with anything try joining #nixos at irc.freenode.net Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
