Build failure: xquartz

[dscottboggs]

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. build pkgs.xquartz (in this case I added it to environment.systemPackages with nix-darwin, but the same thing happens with nix-shell -p xquartz)

       a) To temporarily allow broken packages, you can use an environment variable
          for a single invocation of the nix tools.

            $ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1

        Note: For `nix shell`, `nix build`, `nix develop` or any other Nix 2.4+
        (Flake) command, `--impure` must be passed in order to read this
        environment variable.

       b) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
         { nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; }
       in configuration.nix to override this.

       c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
         { allowBroken = true; }
       to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

I cannot reproduce this on master on my aarch64-darwin machine. Can you run your command with --show-trace to get a longer stack trace?

[Patryk27]

I've got failures as well, in my case on simavr (aarch64-darwin):

nix shell nixpkgs/master#simavr

Looks like fallout related to #233265, from which I gather that mesa is broken upstream on macOS.

The simavr derivation depends on libGL as well as freeglut and libGLU, which depend on libGL (based on mesa). If we can think of a way to build it on macOS without these dependencies, we can update the derivation.
