Nix v.1.10 (stable) Fails to Compile on openSUSE #718

You should probably use nix dependencies themselves to bootstrap nix, instead of using system libraries. |
Without trying to figure out, if the smashed substance consists of a chicken or an egg, how could I bootstrap Nix by using packages that are maintained by Nix? Console examples welcome. :-) |
By downloading the nix binaries for example and installing it. |
That does not seem to work either.
I also tried to dowload the binaries by downloading some "zip", but It seems to me that as of 2015_11 the Nix Package Manager is too experimental to be dependable.

I suggest that all the C++/C libraries that the Nix package manager depends on, are embedded to the Nix package manager source code so that it can be built by depending only GCC and Perl from the host system. Nothing should be downloaded at bootstrapping. But, that is, of course, my subjective taste and opinion and everyone has an opinion. :-/ |
