Hi all,
I wanted to see what the status was of FreeBSD support (basically
because I a jail running that needed some new software and I'd like
Nix to manage the dependencies), and noticed something unexpected:
1) I clone the Nix git repository from https://github.com/NixOS/nix
2) I execute ./bootstrap.sh and then ./configure
3) it fails on something that is not officially listed as a
dependency [http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-building-source]:
[...]
checking for LIBLZMA... no
configure: error: Package requirements (liblzma) were not met:
Of course I tried to go around it by installing
/usr/ports/archivers/lzmalib
/usr/ports/archivers/lzma
But that didn't help. Is this a new dependency? If so, can someone
point to what *exactly* it is that is needed?
Best,
Michiel
