[Nix-dev] x264 snapshot expression, is it the expression or the makefile please?

[Tony White]

Hi,
The x264 snapshot in the x264 expression is over six months old so I
decided to try to update it here, I've hit a problem and I don't know
what's going wrong. Is anyone able to suggest anything?

I have :

/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/x264/default.nix

Like this :

args:
args.stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  version = "snapshot-20090614-2245";
  name = "x264-${version}";

  src = args.fetchurl {
    url = "ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-${version}.tar.bz2";
    sha256 = "9ca85cd8c4cfe4e8e0c20e2ec55182a0aa285c788d3588832e33bcf69f1662cf";
  };

  # buildPhase = "true";
  unpackPhase = [ "tar jxvf $src && cd x264-* && echo ''#! $SHELL'' >
configure && echo ''#'' > config.mak" ];

  # configurePhase = [ "./configure --prefix=$out" ];

  configureFlags= if args.stdenv.system == "x86_64-linux" then
["--enable-shared --enable-pic --host=linux"] else ["--enable-shared
--host=linux"];

  buildInputs =(with args; []);

  meta = {
      description = "library for encoding H264/AVC video streams";
      homepage = http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html;
      license = "GPL";
  };
}



But the error message is :

Is my expression causing the problem and does anyone have a solution please?

Thanks,
