Hi @osevan, right now, we can use any version in nixpkgs including the "Unstable" channel (make sure to look there too, since some times the newest versions of packages are there).

That means the latest versions you can pick of those packages are:

  • Version 12.2.0 for gcc via the gcc12 package.
  • Version 14.0.6 for clang via the clang_14 package.

Do those suit your needs?

If you truly need to build from HEAD or a specific revision in the github repo, then we don't support that right now, but we are working on this https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox/issues/21 feature which should allow something close.
