nixpkgs.buildPlatform

Specifies the platform on which nix-darwin should be built. By default, nix-darwin is built on the system where it runs, but you can change where it's built. Setting this option will cause nix-darwin to be cross-compiled.

For instance, if you're doing distributed multi-platform deployment, or if you're building machines, you can set this to match your development system and/or build farm.

Ignored when nixpkgs.pkgs is set.
