I use 'myEnvFun', in nixpkgs, having myEnvFun expressions in packageOverrides of my ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix. That creates files that you can source, and you get a build environment similar to a nix builder according to the expression you wrote. Take a read of nixpkgs/pkgs/misc/my-env/ Regards, Lluís _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
