Hi,
I am trying to compile GHC using stack installed via my nix-darwin configuration file.
I see these messages in the error logs:
2022-01-07 10:07:17.240214: [warn] hashable > /run/current-system/sw/bin/ld: line 254: /nix/store/8fpyhncn4m4x1kifzjizy0h8s2696ibk-binutils-2.35.2/bin/ld: No such file or directory
2022-01-07 10:07:17.242092: [warn] hashable > `ld' failed in phase `Merge objects'. (Exit code: 127)
Upon a closer look, it looks as if there is no ld binary supplied by binutils on nix-darwin.
> readlink /run/current-system/sw/bin/ld
> /nix/store/6dg7m90fvbm69knws1mhix5q5bmfq13k-binutils-wrapper-2.35.2/bin/ld
which calls /nix/store/8fpyhncn4m4x1kifzjizy0h8s2696ibk-binutils-2.35.2/bin/ld, which does not exist on nix-darwin: nixpkgs/default.nix at 2320573b696600fc868e3cc35ce7fb4b56a10f8e · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub.
However, when I execute nix-shell -p --pure which binutils, ld is found:
> which ld
> /nix/store/a2sz5pfcilnp7hw9hhqipvs3rvq3s59v-clang-wrapper-11.1.0/bin/ld
Therefore, I assume that if I can get ld callable from my default shell, then it will work for the stack build.
How can I get my default system ld pointing to the binary in clang-wrapper as is done by nix-shell?
