Well, I added "--enable-all-translations-in-one-xml" as a workaround,
bypassing some make directives...
I think it can be something related to Nix itself, but I will investigate later.
I am fighting against other bugs, too - now in 'caja', the file
manager. But I will post about them today at nigh
Hello Nixers,
Recently I had to do couple of development tasks on *cough cough* MS Windows.
Unfortunately, Nix did not seem to work on it anymore, so I have decided revive
the Cygwin support. I had to make a few subtle modifications to the Nix package
manager, such as including cstdlib at sever

Yes I know this issue. It's a few years old actually.
Right now, I haven't checked the substituters things yet. First, because we
don't have any prebuilt stuff on Hydra. Second, I think it should work with
Perl bindings disabled, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
Regarding DLLs:
I know thi
I think there is room for improvement for installing and using nixpkgs on
another distribution.
I see two big problems:
1. installation
2. environment variables
Installation:
The single-user installation is cute, but realistically you need root
anyway to create /nix so it would be nice i
Another issue I just remembered is that of setuid binaries. NixOS has a
mechanism for it, and it could just as easily be used elsewhere. Without
it, you can't easily use qemu for example.

For fun I tried placing apache behind nginx.
making apache listen on non standard port made existing installations
such as "wordpress" return redirects. (Yes, could be fixed, ..)
I tried setting up a second "loopback" device so that I was able to use
port 80 twice (once for nginx proxy_passing requ
Hello, Nixers!
Well, I want to share my "noviceness" on NixOS. I am working on port Mate
Desktop (a fork of GNOME 2).
I have posted a not-so-small amount of messages here in the list, in part
