NixΒΆ
We advise the usage of Nix and Nix Flakes
to build TC.
The versions of all packages used in the build environment are pinned.
Nix configuration is specified in a flake.nix
file, and version of
packages are descibed in flake.lock
.
$ nix build .#tc
Nix builds the package tc
for the current system in use.
The default package tc
is compiled by gcc
and the package tcClang
is
TC compiled by clang
.
Moreover, Nix Flakes
provide a way to have a shell containing the build
environment, one can simply use:
$ nix develop
This command
creates and activates a shell with packages as listed in flake.nix
. This
permits to develop TC in a reproductible environment.
Note that Nix Flakes
are still an upcoming feature of Nix and thus may
change in the future.
