I got most of the build to work and described some problems in the above-linked issue. Here's my repository with the build script:

https://github.com/pdg137/macaulay2-build

Unfortunately it fails during the documentation part of the build process due to some dlopen issue that I don't know how to debug at all. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions.

I have this building a M2 binary now in a reasonable way, including several required sub-packages that are not in nixpkgs. The dlopen command still fails but I disabled documentation so that the build can complete. I think the next step is to figure out some basic tests, but it is already worth trying out if you need Macaulay2 on NixOS.
