<title>Support for specific programming languages and frameworks</title>

<para>The <link linkend="chap-stdenv">standard build
environment</link> makes it easy to build typical Autotools-based
packages with very little code.  Any other kind of package can be
accomodated by overriding the appropriate phases of
<literal>stdenv</literal>.  However, there are specialised functions
in Nixpkgs to easily build packages for other programming languages,
such as Perl or Haskell.  These are described in this chapter.</para>
