Prerequisite: have Quicklisp installed somehow.
Want to add a package? There are 3 simple steps!
1. Add the needed system names to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt.
2. cd <path to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt> ; nix-shell --run 'quicklisp-to-nix .'
3. Add native libraries and whatever else is needed to quicklisp-to-nix-overrides.nix.
Add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH all the things listed in quicklisp-to-nix-overrides.nix
for library propagatedBuildInputs (a lot of these are done via addNativeLibs).
To update to a more recent quicklisp dist modify
lispPackages.quicklisp to have a more recent distinfo.
Current list is:
openssl fuse libuv mariadb libfixposix libev sqlite
quicklisp-to-nix-system-info is responsible for installing a quicklisp
package into an isolated environment and figuring out which packages
are required by that system. It also extracts other information that
is readily available once the system is loaded. The information
produced by this program is fed into quicklisp-to-nix. You usually
don't need to run this program unless you're trying to understand why
quicklisp-to-nix failed to handle a system. The technique used by
quicklisp-to-nix-system-info is described in its source.
Add the needed system names to quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt and load
quicklisp-to-nix/ql-to-nix.lisp and call
(ql-to-nix "/path/to/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/lisp-modules/") which is often
just (ql-to-nix ".")
Add native libraries and whatever else is needed to overrides.
The lispPackages set is supposed to be buildable in its entirety.
quicklisp-to-nix is responsible for reading
quicklisp-to-nix-systems.txt, running quicklisp-to-nix-system-info,
and generating the nix packages associated with the closure of
quicklisp systems.
