# idea: provide a build environments for your developement of preference /* #### examples of use: #### # Add this to your ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix: { packageOverrides = pkgs : with pkgs; { sdlEnv = pkgs.myEnvFun { name = "sdl"; buildInputs = [ stdenv SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf SDL_gfx cmake SDL_net pkgconfig]; }; }; } # Then you can install it by: # $ nix-env -i sdl-env # And you can load it simply calling: # $ load-sdl-env # and this will update your env vars to have 'make' and 'gcc' finding the SDL # headers and libs. ##### Another example, more complicated but achieving more: ####### # Make an environment to build nix from source and create ctags (tagfiles can # be extracted from TAG_FILES) from every source package.
