Building with Nix (Ruffin)

Draft PR: ENH: Add Nix flake for building Slicer with system packages on NixOS by ruffsl · Pull Request #9101 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub

(deep discussion with lots of opinions exchanged)

Failing macOS tests (Sam)

Failing macos tests, after this commit.

Error message

        PasteBoard: Error creating pasteboard: com.apple.pasteboard.clipboard [-4960]
        PasteBoard: Error creating pasteboard: com.apple.pasteboard.find [-4960]
  • seems like a bad interaction with “special” characters and clipboard

Fix

Attempted fix: add

export LANG="C.UTF-8"
export LC_ALL="C.UTF-8"

to ~/.zshrc, seems to work, will see if it is loaded correctly when new terminal session are used

We may need to add this to the Slicer docs if it becomes a common issue for mac users

Bernarndo is looking for new clients
