That’s a pretty common stumbling block. If someone defines his own `installPhase` for example, the `installPhase` shell function is just the standard stdenv `installPhase`. What you want to call is rather the contents of `$installPhase` (the variable), since that contains the phase you defined in `mkDerivation`. nix-shell $ unpackPhase unpacking … $ configurePhase configuring … $ buildPhase … $ $installPhase running your installPhase There is not much abstraction. Every nix attribute within `derivation` (and by extension `mkDerivation`) will end up as a bash shell variable in your shell (and your build env). -- Proudly written in Mutt with Vim on NixOS.
