Build failed with a temp file name

I tried to build a new nyxt on nixos by modifying the nixpkgs definition. The following messages I got:

@nix { "action": "setPhase", "phase": "unpackPhase" }

It tried to build cl-json-tmpAAURSO1.fasl, which contains a tmp suffix name. Why is it happened? and cl-json.lisp is existed instead of a fasl file.

I think this is a temp file, but the path sbcl read is a read-only path. Is there a way to change the build and loading path?

Are you using Quicklisp or just NixOS for everything? If you are using NixOS for everything, I can’t really help you, I’m sorry! Hopefully someone else can chime in!

@jmercouris, AFAIK, Nix (unlike Guix) does not reliably manage CL dependencies. I.e., off-loading Quicklisp is the only way to do it in Nix!

@vonfry I’m afraid I can’t help much either, and I believe this question needs to be addressed to the Nix maintainers. The situation here (as far as I can understand) is that you’re downloading the sources of cl-json to the store and then you can’t possibly build it, since the .fasl can’t be written to a read-only directory. What Guix does is to distinguish between the sources and what results from building them. Notice that what results from building depends on the CL implementation used. In other words, you need a package that simply keeps the sources, and compiling those populates a directory such as $HOME/.cache/common-lisp/sbcl/. Then you need a package that stores the .fasl (in the case of SBCL) that results from building it. In short, for library foo, you’d have cl-foo (sources), sbcl-foo, ccl-foo, ecl-foo, …

Nonetheless, I think we’re digressing. This was done in the past and it was working, so it must be possible. The goal is to package the latest Nyxt release for Nix. @jmercouris, did you try to do it? Theoretically, it should be straightforward.

Thanks for your reply.
The issue has been fixed by change input from current overlay instead of super. Because, nixpkgs uses original source in the lisp module and each overlap of complier, such as sbcl, overrides the build script to generate these files.
However, there are some new issues to build nyxt 3.

I’ve left a comment there, but I’m not sure if it’s very helpful.
