Tools for running builds using Nix in a monorepo.
|
|
|
|
Goal: Using one coherent build tool, I can develop multiple projects with common dependencies.
|
|
|
|
# Background
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Requirements
|
|
|
|
- select the toolchains and versions thereof for the project
|
|
- configure cross-compilation
|
|
- allow multiple languages
|
|
- co-exist with language ecosystems. For example, rust-analyzer needs cargo in order to understand Cargo.toml. However, it should be easier to fully build the project with Nix
|
|
- every module is compiled into a derivation that downstream modules can import. Each module derivation is cached separately so that Nix only rebuilds the changed module.
|
|
- Nix can generate a closure for an executable, even a cross-compiled one, to copy to the remote system

# Build targets
|
|
|
|
- build
|
|
- run
|
|
- tests
|
|
- code coverage profiling
|
|
- linting
|
|
- performance testing
|
|
|
|
Each of these is a separate Nix command that builds or runs the desired result.
