There are also two ways to try compiling a package which has been marked as unsuported for the given system.

For allowing the build of a broken package once, you can use an environment variable for a single invocation of the nix tools:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>$ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=1</programlisting>
|
||||
</para></listitem>

For permanently allowing broken packages to be built, you may add <literal>allowUnsupportedSystem = true;</literal> to your user's configuration file, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
{
|
||||
allowUnsupportedSystem = true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
</programlisting>

The difference between an a package being unsupported on some system and being broken is admittedly a bit fuzzy.
|
||||
If a program <emphasis>ought</emphasis> to work on a certain platform, but doesn't, the platform should be included in <literal>meta.platforms</literal>, but marked as broken with e.g. <literal>meta.broken = !hostPlatform.isWindows</literal>.
|
||||
Of course, this begs the question of what "ought" means exactly.
|
||||
That is left to the package maintainer.
