Another solution (at least commonly used here at Flying Circus IO):
* leave the package expr as-is
* call it with the idiom
nix-build -E 'with import {}; callPackage ./hello.nix {}'

Well, apparently you try to evaluate a standalone file that specifies a
function but you don't specify how to fill its parameters. It should be
explained in the following section
http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-arguments
That's how it's commonly done in nixpkgs. If you want a *separate*
expression that depends on nixpkgs, you may e.g. start by adding this
line to the beginning of the file:
with import {};
instead of
{ stdenv, something1, something2, ... }:

[Nix-dev] error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘stdenv’)
Following the example at http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-writing-nix-expressions to build hello package. But `nix-build -A hello` throws error "error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘stdenv’)" How can I fix this problem? My nix-build (Nix) is 1.11.11 Thanks___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
