Orthanc 1.12.7 on Nix

General
1

Yesterday I attempted to package Orthanc 1.12.7. You can follow the progress here: github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/398450 (I don’t have the right to post a link).

Everything seemed to be working fine until I encountered an issue that didn’t appear in version 1.12.6. The build completes successfully, but the install phase fails with a permissions error. Here’s the relevant part of the log:

error: builder for '/nix/store/bl4db83r033jzjv2y9hyn7mpf15ngsn2-orthanc-1.12.7.drv' failed with exit code 1;

It looks like something in the install phase is trying to write to an absolute /share directory instead of respecting the $DESTDIR or CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. This didn’t happen with 1.12.6, so I suspect a change in upstream install paths or scripts.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a workaround or patch to correct the install path? I suspect this is specific to Nix, since it strictly forbids writing anywhere outside of /nix/store.

I tried to check the diff between the 2 tags (Orthanc-1.12.6 and Orthanc-1.12.7), but couldn’t find anything relevant so far.

Thanks.

Actually, the issue is now also present on 1.12.6, which is very uncommon and odd. Something has changed and I need to find out what’s going on.

Apologies for my messages, ignore them, during the update I removed something that was not supposed to be removed.
