This stuff (common development tools) is called `stdenv`. It is available as `pkgs.stdenv`, but the interesting part is here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/stdenv.
The kernel is available as `pkgs.linux_<version>` e.g. `pkgs.linux_3_18` (I think stdenv includes only the headers). Make is `pkgs.gnumake`, GCC is `pkgs.gcc` etc. On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 3:03 AM Tony Su <[email protected]> wrote: > Objective: > Install VMware Guest Tools > > Common requirement: > Common Development tools like make, gnu c compiler, often packaged > together by distro maintainers > Kernel headers and related code to modify existing kernel > > Initial package query does not return anything, ie > nix-env -qa make > nix-env -qa kernel > > Suggestions on how these types of packages are listed and installed? > > TIA, > Tony > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev >
