I have got racket-minimal 6.12 into Nix, and it builds properly on aarch64-linux and on x86_64-darwin (MacOS). AArch64 probably hasn't had a racket before (I haven't checked), and Nix/MacOS has been without a working racket since it was bumped to 6.10 last August (which broke it because 6.10 needed some previously unnecessary MacOS frameworks and nobody fixed that).
However, I can't get the full racket to build, because I'm getting errors when it's parsing a scribble file: raco setup: --- summary of errors --- raco setup: error: during building docs for <pkgs>/racket-doc/scribblings/reference/reference.scrbl raco setup: examples: exception raised in example raco setup: error: "bytes-convert: contract violation\n expected: bytes-converter?\n given: #f\n argument position: 1st\n other arguments...:\n #\"ABCD\"" I haven't checked whether this file is special or if it's simply the first file in line to break things. Any idea what might be causing this? The lack of a stack trace makes this feel like a tricky thing to track down without prior knowledge of the code base. The racket community has obviously been able to build native DrRacket for MacOS (the Nix build is --enable-xonx), so we know it's possible as far as racket is concerned. I'm currently testing whether 6.9 still builds and if it doesn't, I'll git bisect through nixpkgs to see what broke it. So let's hope it breaks. :-) For more discussion and details, see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/34576 . -- /c -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
