I can not currently find a way to set the CFFI variables correctly to
get it to load libraries from Nix.
In the absence of that feature, a wrapper also does the trick.
It's not enough to compile in the right order - turns out you also
have to load the compiled objects in the right order.
To achieve this some cursed code has been added that changes the Lisp
generated by Nix to compile the other Lisp so that it also generates
some bash, which Nix can then use to concatenate the FASLs in the
right order to feed them to Lisp again.
It works but I'll replace it with a more elegant solution once one is
needed.
Similar to buildGo.nix, the library derivations carry information
about their dependencies which is merged when a load file is
instantiated.
The load files are created when compiling libraries, but will in the
future also be created when wrapping SBCL and dumping images.
Adds a Nix function to build a Lisp library out of a specified set of
Nix files. All files are combined into a single FASL.
This is by design only compatible with SBCL (for now).
This moves the various projects from "type-based" folders (such as
"services" or "tools") into more appropriate semantic folders (such as
"nix", "ops" or "web").
Deprecated projects (nixcon-demo & gotest) which only existed for
testing/demonstration purposes have been removed.
(Note: *all* builds are broken with this commit)
Pipes inside of code blocks inside of tables seem to pose a challenge
for some Markdown renderers. Not a problem for Github's but this page
is occasionally embedded in other documentation (such as nixery.dev)
The highlighter expects that all code blocks are valid expressions (to
some degree) and highlights mismatches in dark red, which is not
particularly pleasant for the reader.
This introduces a "fake" attribute set in the `inherit` section to
please the highlighter.
These are not strictly speaking language features, but my intention
for this document is that someone can - after reading it - navigate a
large chunk of existing Nix code.
Adds the initial version originally published as a gist. This is
already slightly different from the gist in that it contains a section
on derivations.
This is not yet complete.
