stdenv doesn't build on Raspbian on Raspberry Pi 4B #2

Open ShamrockLee opened 3 years ago

ShamrockLee commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to install nix on a Raspberry Pi 4 (arch: armv8) purchased about a year ago with Raspbian (arch: armv7l) installed right after I purchase the board.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Ensure that curl and xzutils have been installed.
  2. Run 
    mkdir -p /tmp/nix-install && \
cd /tmp/nix-install && \
curl -L https://github.com/DavHau/nix-on-armv7l/releases/download/2.3.7-armv7l/nix-2.3.7pre0_0000000-armv7l-linux.tar.xz | tar xJ && \
cd nix-* &&\
./install-multi-user
  3. Run 
    sudo su
echo "extra-substituters = https://thefloweringash-armv7.cachix.org" >> /etc/nix/nix.conf
echo "trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= thefloweringash-armv7.cachix.org-1:v+5yzBD2odFKeXbmC+OPWVqx4WVoIVO6UXgnSAWFtso=" >> /etc/nix/nix.conf
  4. Log out and log in.
  5. Run 
    nix-shell -p nix-info --run 'nix-info'

Did you know, that modern Raspbian / Respberry PI OS can be configured to work with aarch64 binaries? I'd highly recommend to go that route instead of going through the hassle of armv7l+nix.

See: https://medium.com/for-linux-users/how-to-make-your-raspberry-pi-4-faster-with-a-64-bit-kernel-77028c47d653

Afterwards you might have to also set nix to use aarch64 via /etc/nix/nix.conf. Please let me know if that worked for you

@DavHau Thank you for that.

I later got Raspberry Pi 64bit (beta) and installed Nix and nixpkgs packages on it. All work smoothly without hacks.

Here is how I did it; https://discourse.nixos.org/t/install-nix-on-raspberry-pi-4-without-hacks/11107
