# Building Isle
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building from source requires [nix][nix].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(*NOTE* The first time you run some of these builds a lot of things will be
|
||
|
|
built from scratch. If you have not otherwise configured it, nix might be using
|
||
|
|
a tmpfs as its build directory, and the capacity of this tmpfs will probably be
|
||
|
|
exceeded by this build. You can change your build directory to somewhere on-disk
|
||
|
|
by setting the TMPDIR environment variable for `nix-daemon` (see [this github
|
||
|
|
issue][tmpdir-gh].))

## Current System
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can build an AppImage for your current system by running the following from
|
||
|
|
the project's root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
nix-build -A appImageBin
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The resulting binary can be found under `result/bin`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Cross-Compile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An AppImage can be cross-compiled by passing the `hostSystem` argument:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
nix-build --argstr hostSystem "x86_64-linux" -A appImageBin
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported system strings are enumerated in `nix/pkgs.nix`.
