Build from source using nix-build broken since 3.0.3 #4236

Closed hugorut closed 4 years ago

hugorut commented 4 years ago

Instructions on how to build cardano-sl as specified here state that a nix installation is the preferred method of building cardano from source.

The docs state to run the following command after cloning master

$ nix-build -A cardano-sl-node-static --out-link master

However since release 3.0.3 this fails with output:

error: attribute 'cardano-sl-static' in selection path 'cardano-sl-static' not found

The last working release using the nix-build method is 3.0.2. Is there any updated documentation on how to build latest releases. Would this be stack preferred?

No, we switched to haskell.nix and the doc wasn't updated. nix-build -A connecScripts.mainnet.wallet is probably what you want as that builds a shell script that provides all the command arguments and files needed to run it as well. If you do just want to build the raw exes for the different pieces you could checkout nix repl nix-tools.exes and poke around the different exes provided. All exes are static now by default.

Note that no further development is being done in this repository and the new node is being developed in cardano-node repository.
