pkgs.mkShell
pkgs.mkShell
is a special kind of derivation that is only useful when using
it combined with nix-shell
. It will in fact fail to instantiate when invoked
with nix-build
.
Usage
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
# specify which packages to add to the shell environment
packages = [ pkgs.gnumake ];
# add all the dependencies, of the given packages, to the shell environment
inputsFrom = with pkgs; [ hello gnutar ];
}
