Mind elaborating on the issues you encountered? I'm interested in having this working and might be able to put some time into it.

I am interested in that, too. Where could we start a discussion about .NET Core on NixOS?

@copumpkin, @ForNeVeR,

My recollection is quite hazy on the details but basically it was never clear (or documented in a way that I could find) where I was expected to fetch a bootstrapping compiler, where I was expected to put it, what commands I was expected to invoke to run the build, and even: after the the build, what was the relevant output files to keep and how should they be organized in a certain directory structure to be usable.

coreclr is only one of the subprojects that one needs to build to get to a useful setup. There's also corefx and a few others. Was also not clear to me what the exhaustive list was.

Here are some relevant issues/pulls:

@obadz I was experimenting with getting centos version of bootstrapping compiler to run on NixOS. I've left it in a state when it couldn't load libicu of some version. It's definitely a solvable issue, but I'm sure it's not the only issue there...

My stuff is here: ForNeVeR/dotnet-cli@2aa540b but it's just a first step, as I'm a newbie in NixOS packaging and in CoreCLR building.

(Also I've started the digging from dotnet-cli for some reason)
