Linux is (as far as I know) the only mainstream operating system that requires linking with libdl for dlopen. On BSD, libdl doesn't exist, so on non-FreeBSD BSDs linking will currently fail. On macOS, it's apparently just a symlink to libSystem (macOS libc), presumably present for compatibility with things that assume Linux. So the right thing to do here is to only add -ldl on Linux, not to add it for everything that isn't FreeBSD.
Nix
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the Nix manual for more details.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
