We have a beachhead, Build a minimized Nix with MinGW by Ericson2314 · Pull Request #8901 · NixOS/nix · GitHub is merged!
With that, the work can hopefully proceed in parallel. To kick things off, I’ve opened issues:
- Rename `SearchPath` · Issue #10539 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Implement `setStackSize` on Windows · Issue #10540 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Use portable C++ Pseudorandom number generator · Issue #10541 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Abstract over `getrusage` · Issue #10542 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Implement `updateWindowSize` on windows · Issue #10543 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Implement process spawning on Windows · Issue #10544 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Implement `PathLocks` on windows · Issue #10545 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- Run unit tests in Wine in CI · Issue #10547 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
Some of them are quite small and self-contained and would be excellent first issues for new contributers!
