When executing the package

/nix/store/v64bkfnrnblnakg5mxnnlddxc6ypjjc9-rockstar-2.0.29/bin/rockstar

It fails with the following output

Process terminated. Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system. Please install libicu (or icu-libs) using your package manager and try again. Alternatively you can set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support.

In order to make it work, a DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 variable must be set

DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 /nix/store/v64bkfnrnblnakg5mxnnlddxc6ypjjc9-rockstar-2.0.29/bin/rockstar

Rockstar v2.0.29 on linux-x64.
Type 'exit' to exit.
» Shout "it works"
it works
« "it works"
» exit

I tried many things, i didn't find a better solution

I also tried to build it from source pinage404/nixpkgs@rockstar...pinage404:nixpkgs:rockstar_built_from_source

The build fails with this message

nix build -L .#rockstarlang

rockstar> Running phase: unpackPhase
rockstar> unpacking source archive /nix/store/v22zb3wr1a1pzzcmp586v9d3yzakn76w-source
