meta: add nix shell to build on Linux

[vincenzopalazzo]

As noted in [1] on Linux systems, it is not possible to build phoenixd due to a mismatch in the libc version.

A possible solution is to use Nix and build phoenixd inside the shell with all the dependencies. This way, the host machine can use the binary directly without downgrading libc, which can be dangerous.

Is this linked to an error I'm receiving when trying to build on Fedora 39?

"./phoenixd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

It's unrelated, you need something like sudo yum install libxcrypt-compat

I'm getting a JVM crash at build, starting from docker run -ti ghcr.io/nixos/nix.

I'm getting a JVM crash at build, starting from docker run -ti ghcr.io/nixos/nix.

Interesting @pm47 I will try to reproduce it today with your setting and get back to you, thanks for testing this PR our

[vincenzopalazzo]

Ok I was able to reproduce by passing the --pure flag

This is the stack trace and currently, I do not have a solution :/ there is someone with ideas?

[nix-shell:~/github/phoenixd]$ ./gradlew packageLinuxX64 --no-daemon
To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.5/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon in the Gradle documentation.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build

The message received from the daemon indicates that the daemon has disappeared.

Clean solution would be to add flake.nix file to the repo which builds from source.

This proposal is very hackish :-)

[vincenzopalazzo]

Hi @prusnak,

This proposal is very hackish :-)

haha I am a really convoluted nix user, but if you have time to review it we I can spend some time resurrecting it and maybe build a nix package too

[prusnak]

but if you have time to review

I will happily review and merge package submission to nixos/nixpkgs and/or flake.nix inclusion in this repo.
