Normally you would make those paths a parameter to the function, so it can be overriden in nixpkgs config or nixos config.

I will just remove them, they don't seem to matter, i don't know why they
were set in arch linux pkgbuild i used for reference.

@offlinehacker, do you still want to have this expression merged?

[offlinehacker]

Ok it seems to work fine, it's just a bit slow, still the best bitcoin lib that you can use in python language(throught C module). It does not include some libs(like curl) in pkg-config(.pc) and i don't know how to fix this(now you have to add those in your environment, i have tried propagatedBuildInputs, no success). I would be very happy if anybody has any knowledge how to fix that?

[vcunat]

It executes the tools found through PATH?

[offlinehacker]

No, i don't know how to include curl with libbitcoin, now you have have
curl in environment(and not only libbitcoin) for libbitcoin programs to
compile or it does not find curl. Even if i add curl in
propagatedBuildInputs the problem remains.

If it's worth the bother, it would be probably the best way to patch the code that does the finding (and hardcode the path there on build-time). I see no easier way.

[vcunat]

The above holds if it uses the commands (which I suppose). If it dlopened the library, then it should be enough to patchelf the RPATH.

[offlinehacker]

Looks like pkg-config has a setup hook that exports PKG_CONFIG_PATH in builds and it's of course not exported(if you don't do it yourself) in buildEnv and this is really not a problem.
Just merge this, i might use version from github which has some usefull additional functions, but we can update later.

[peti]

Wouldn't it be better to merge this package only after it works reliably?

[offlinehacker]

Yes i changed my mind and i agree. It turns out @spesmilo on github develops some awesome bitcoin tools(rpc worker and low level command line tool for bitcoin) that do not depend on release version but the one from git.
I will package those two and we can merge then :) Besides that, this one works reliably.

[domenkozar]

Also checkout https://github.com/conformal/btcd

[offlinehacker]

Cool! Still lol, who would want to reimplement ugly rpc api of bitcoin wallet.

[domenkozar]

So this one can be closed, since it's not complete?

[offlinehacker]

Please leave it open, i have some uncompleted work, but i'm really close,
not just libbitcoin, but also related awesome tools for bitcoin developers.
