Build failure for surrealist-embed and wasm-streams on NixOS due to linking error with lld

[Dodo5393]

I encountered a build failure while attempting to rebuild my NixOS system configuration using the nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#nixos command. The error seems to be related to linking with lld. Below is the relevant portion of the error message:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#nixos

I have run sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-24.05 nixos Update the channels using sudo nix-channel --update Attempt to rebuild the system with sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#nixos

Hi,

For now, I recommend commenting out or deleting the following packages from nixos/utils.nix: surrealdb, surrealdb-migrations, and surrealist. Alternatively, you can comment out just the package that I believe is causing the error: surrealist. An error might occur when you try to build (compile) surrealist during a system rebuild. I recently encountered this same issue and had to comment these out on my system as well.

I want to highlight that my configuration is quite bloated; it includes many packages that you probably don't need. Sometimes, when nixpkgs updates, some packages (usually not critical to the system) might break. If you encounter similar errors during a system update and rebuild, check which package is causing the error. If it’s not necessary, just comment it out or delete it from the config.

To fix an issue with a non-working terminal, you need to disable Wayland rendering for WezTerm:

1. Open the configuration file located at ~/.config/wezterm/wezterm.lua.
2. Find the line that reads enable_wayland = true;.
3. Change true to false, so it reads enable_wayland = false;.

Also, the terminal may appear slightly pixelated on large screens because it will render through xdg-desktop-portal, and X does not scale well.
