Nix Package Manager has incredible cross-compilation support, but vanilla packages sometimes have some cross-compilation issues. This overlay contains some extensions and bugfixes to provide a better experience.
nixpkgs-cross-overlay targets nixos-24.05 channels, they are tested on CI. It
may also work on other channels but it is not guaranteed.
This overlay is in an early development stage, so there is a lack of
documentation, especially about useful extensions like rustCrossHook. Anyway,
a contribution is very welcome.
- Works fine on the Intel and Apple Silicon macOS machines.
- Compilation fixes and workarounds for the some libraries and binaries.
- Static Musl targets, that can produce distro-independent binaries.
- Almost zero cross-compilation shell setup for Rust by the
rustCrossHookandrustBuildHostDependencieshooks. - Binary cache with the precompiled packages.
