Building on OS X with Nix fails
Describe the bug I'm trying to build a clean checkout of asterius on Mac OS X.
My setup is:
- 10.15.7
- cabal 3.2.0.0
- ghc 8.8.3
- stack 2.5.1
installed via nix.
I also manually setup binaryen 98 and WASI-SDK.
To Reproduce
- git checkout
- stack build asterius
stack build asterius
Preparing to install GHC (custom-asterius) to an isolated location.
This will not interfere with any system-level installation.
Already downloaded.

To me this looks like your custom build of ghc is expecting libgmp in /usr/local (perhaps assuming the use of homebrew). While many people use homebrew, this isn't documented and leaves everyone who doesn't out in the cold.
Expected behavior
- This should work, right?
Environment
- OS name + version:
- Version of the code:
Additional context This is the third time I'm trying to simply build your project. I think it would help asterius if this was generally easier. A description of how to do create the custom ghc build from scratch and how to continue from there might also help.
Sorry for the frustration. We don't have official nix build support yet; as for how to build the custom ghc, it's a part of the documentation: https://asterius.netlify.app/building.html#about-the-custom-ghc-fork. I'm not enough familiar with nix yet to say how to continue from there, since the official build system is still based on stack.
