Always use nix-build to test building packages, and enable the usage of
chroots because that's very important. nix-shell does not use chroots.

I have the distinct impression that Eelco neither wants to promote nor
discourage NixOS evangelism... which I totally understand. More newbies
means more noise but OTOH means more eyeballs and developers.
In any case, +1 from me. Would be nice to have more than 1 person in the
interview though...
Thanks, I added --pure to nix-shell, but the result didn't change. The
only difference in the environment variables which are set for nix-build
and nix-shell is that nix-build contains the following:
declare -x NIX_ENFORCE_PURITY=1
declare -x NIX_INDENT_MAKE=1
declare -x TZ=UTC

Hi,
I have a general problem with developing Haskell code in NixOS. It
arises when I directly build a Haskell library that depends on a C
library, rather than installing the Haskell library as a nix package.
The problem is best illustrated with an example using myEnvFun and zlib,
though the

Yes, LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be set for anyone who wants to use OpenGL.
Otherwise you may get default mesa driver or none at all (depends on
Any software such as ‘mpv’ that I put in my

This carries over to the user, where you'll see the similar output.
What I have noticed in the past is that sometimes if I nix-env -i an

How does one enable chroots for this purpose? I had it happen before
where I tested a package in nix-shell

If you mean *only* using explicit dependencies and not using the

Greetings,
I just opened [1] and started to implement it, basically making
pass-through options that user can configure.
What is the way to test NixOS modules? I don't particularly want to wait
until ‘updatedb’ is scheduled to run, perhaps I only want to see the
final command nix produces. I
