Nix package version

[ghost]

Hi, I couldn't get the prebuilt libraries to work on NixOS. Any chance a nix package version will be created in the near future? It would be very much appreciated.

Hi @FerencLukacs! Thanks for raising this.

Do you mean you tried making a nix package but something didn’t work? Or just the fact that there’s no nix package for Marksman?

Oops, that's a typo, I meant the prebuilt binaries. So i just downloaded the linux version and tried to run it as per the instructions in the readme, and it didn't work. I assumed it's because of some peculiarity of NixOS.

Huh, interesting. Is there an error message if you run marksman server -v 4?

@ghost would you try a nix flake https://github.com/the-mikedavis/marksman/blob/flake/flake.nix from here? If it works I'll add it to the mainline.

For the record, nixpkgs now has a package for marksman on the stable channel:
