Errors when trying to use on NixOS

[maksalees]

When I compile project I get this error:

Error target ap-crystal failed to compile:
/nix/store/r2b9k28c6aghczpqfvh71y9xavm7rr68-binutils-2.39/bin/ld: cannot find /home/user/project/lib/anyolite/src/implementations/mruby/../../../build/mruby/lib/libmruby.a: No such file or directory

If I try to compile myself (cd lib/anyolite; rake build_shard), there will be this error:

LD    ../../build/mruby/mrbc/bin/mrbc

Command failed with status (1): [ld  -o "/home/user/project/lib/anyol...]

I use mruby and glibc 2.35.

It seems that gcc is used to compile the object files, but then another linker (the one at /nix/store/r2b9k28c6aghczpqfvh71y9xavm7rr68-binutils-2.39/bin/ld) is used to link them.

If this is the case, maybe a bash script like

cd lib/anyolite
unset LD
rake build_shard

could provide a quick temporary fix. The mruby package for Nix uses the same trick.

If that doesn't work, try export LD=gcc instead of unset LD.

Did you happen to have any success with one of the fixes?

In that case I can incorporate the fix into the build script.

unset LD worked

Should be fixed in the latest main commit now (if there are still problems, please comment here again).
