nixpkgs-cross-overlay

Nix Package Manager has incredible cross-compilation support, but vanilla packages sometimes have some cross-compilation issues. This overlay contains some extensions and bugfixes to provide a better experience.

nixpkgs-cross-overlay targets nixos-unstable channels, they are tested on CI. It may also work on other channels but it is not guaranteed.

Usage

• Standalone cross compilation Rust Shell
• Rust service packaged to a docker image

Features

This overlay is in an early development stage, so there is a lack of documentation, especially about useful extensions like rustCrossHook. Anyway, a contribution is very welcome.

• Works fine on the Intel and Apple Silicon macOS machines.
• Compilation fixes and workarounds for the some libraries and binaries.
• Static Musl targets, that can produce distro-independent binaries.
• Almost zero cross-compilation shell setup for Rust by the rustCrossHook and rustBuildHostDependencies hooks.
• Binary cache with the precompiled packages.
