I have the following Nix derivation:

with import <nixpkgs> {};

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  name = "scipoptsuite-${version}";
  version = "4.0.0";

  src = fetchurl {
    url = "http://scip.zib.de/download/release/scipoptsuite-${version}.tgz";
    sha256 = "087535760eae3d633e2515d942a9b22e1f16332c022be8d093372bdc68e8a661";
  };

  buildInputs = [ zlib gmp readline ];
}

Strangely, when running nix-build scipoptsuite.nix, some files are compiling just fine but then I get:

/nix/store/x9v0yxy5iybp2m2ccqwqkvxgjy7zrw8f-binutils-2.28/bin/ld: cannot find -lgmp
/nix/store/x9v0yxy5iybp2m2ccqwqkvxgjy7zrw8f-binutils-2.28/bin/ld: cannot find -lm
/nix/store/x9v0yxy5iybp2m2ccqwqkvxgjy7zrw8f-binutils-2.28/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
/nix/store/x9v0yxy5iybp2m2ccqwqkvxgjy7zrw8f-binutils-2.28/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

The bad command is:

gcc -O3 -m64 -mtune=native obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/zimpl.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/xlpglue.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/zlpglue.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/ratlpstore.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/ratlpfwrite.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/ratmpswrite.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/ratmstwrite.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/ratordwrite.o obj/O.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt/ratpresolve.o -Llib -lzimpl-3.3.4.linux.x86_64.gnu.opt -lgmp -lm -lz -static -o bin/zimpl-3.3.4.linux.x86_64.gnu.static.opt

Does anybody have an idea why this error occurs?

    Is it by any chance trying to link things statically? Commented Jun 14, 2017 at 15:34
  • Did you try checking from where this is called? e.g. by adding preBuild = "set -x" to the mkDerivation arguments, to bring bash to dump all its executed commands from before the build. Commented Jun 24, 2017 at 22:53
  • Yes, in the command above the -static option is used. Why is this a problem? Commented Jun 25, 2017 at 9:51
  • Instead of preBuild = "set -x", I had to use a makeFlagsArray. See the question for the command that is executed. Commented Jun 25, 2017 at 9:53

Most packages in nixpkgs don't have static libraries by default. You need to add glibc.static to build inputs to get static -lc, for example.
