Dear Community,
I am building my first package and am running into an issue with boost (presumably).
This is the flake I am using:
{
description = "Bellmans Gapc in Nix";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
};
outputs = {
self,
nixpkgs,
}: let
# Systems supported
allSystems = [
"x86_64-linux" # 64-bit Intel/AMD Linux
"aarch64-linux" # 64-bit ARM Linux
];
# Helper to provide system-specific attributes
forAllSystems = f:
nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs allSystems (system:
f {
pkgs = import nixpkgs {inherit system;};
});
in {
packages = forAllSystems ({pkgs}: {
default = let
binName = "bellmansgapc";
boostOverride = pkgs.boost.override {
enableShared = false;
enabledStatic = true;
};
dependencies = with pkgs; [
gnumake
flex
bison
boostOverride
mercurial
];
version = "2023.07.05";
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "gapc-${version}";
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "jlab";
repo = "gapc";
rev = "${version}";
sha256 = "sha256-OzGf8Z4BzHEPmonlOvvvg5G1y1mtrkWSxOHPfBJU7kU=";
};
buildInputs = dependencies;
};
});
};
}
this is the log:

configure: error: Could not find a version of the library!
I am a little lost, as I dont understand configure too well and the error is more than cryptic in my opinion.
is there any information I am missing? Is this the right place to ask?
