Did your yabai install successfully?

I get the same error whether I install XCode CLT or nix-shell -p xcodebuild clang(macOS 12 beta 9):

Looks like you need to install the command line tools (see: https://github.com/shaunsingh/nix-darwin-dotfiles#macos)

The command line tools should be optional, however the Nixpkg for yabai doesn't install Xcode, and only the apple sdk. once https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/131911 is merged then this shouldn't be an issue

For now just run the following:

xcode-select --install

Lmk if you run into any issues. I'm still quite inexperienced with nix, so errors might pop up from time to time.

I didn't get it build too on a m1 with Monterey..

I recently reinstalled my OS just to check, installed the latest developer commandline tools via xcode-select --install, git cloned than built and ran the configuration just fine. there is a nix package that handles the command line tools as well, I don't have much experience with it but maybe it would work?
