Hi Jonas, thanks for your reply!

NixOS and `Nixpkgs` are often confused. The former is a Linux-based OS, the
latter a package collection like fink, macports or homebrew.

Indeed Nixpkgs has a Darwin target, and LLDB is installable on it. I just
looked:

$ ls /nix/store/bypgwpzl5i88ncmr65hnifjlmwp69kj6-lldb-7.1.0/bin/
darwin-debug  lldb  lldb-argdumper  lldb-mi  lldb-server  lldb-test

Unfortunately LLDB 8 (and later) won't compile from source any more. This is
why I am reaching out.

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/release/7.x/lldb/tools/debugserver/source/RNBRemote.cpp

still has the guards, they were removed in

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/681f6c2f552fb9b57380f4bfd453e1fc9b6a099e#diff-302e60b129d98a39031cd9f6b2d855c7

I see some options going forward:
- Nixpkgs could patch the file, restoring compilability (somehow)
- Nixpkgs could include libcompression (new package) and depend Darwin `lldb`
on it
- LLVM-project could make `lldb-server` compilable again for sandboxed,
no-compression-lib environments
- Nixpkgs could disable the `llvmPackages_{8,9,10}.lldb` sets.


In any case CMAKE configury should detect the absence of libcompression and
error out early if it is a hard compilation requirement.
