could you try with nix build --impure github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLNvidia ?

Here's the line I use NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL --impure ; for some reason nix profile doesn't read my local nix conf to allow unfree flakes to be installed

that's builds fine

$ nix build --impure github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLNvidia
$ ls result/bin/nixGLNvidia-515.65.01

Works!

$ nix profile install github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLNvidia --impure

Thank you!

For final understanding...

--impure Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

https://github.com/guibou/nixGL - is mutable repo?

[guibou]

@brothermechanic yes, the nixGLNvidia package does some impure stuffs in order to auto detect nvidia version.

I'm closing.

However, we should keep in mind that defining a solution to fix all theses impurity could be awesome.
