<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
"Cross-compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another type of machine.
For example, a typical use of cross compilation is to compile programs for embedded devices.
These devices often don't have the computing power and memory to compile their own programs.
One might think that cross-compilation is a fairly niche concern, but there are advantages to being rigorous about distinguishing build-time vs run-time environments even when one is developing and deploying on the same machine.
Nixpkgs is increasingly adopting the opinion that packages should be written with cross-compilation in mind, and nixpkgs should evaluate in a similar way (by minimizing cross-compilation-specific special cases) whether or not one is cross-compiling.

Nixpkgs follows the <link xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Configure-Terms.html">common historical convention of GNU autoconf</link> of distinguishing between 3 types of platform: <wordasword>build</wordasword>, <wordasword>host</wordasword>, and <wordasword>target</wordasword>.
In summary, <wordasword>build</wordasword> is the platform on which a package is being built, <wordasword>host</wordasword> is the platform on which it is to run. The third attribute, <wordasword>target</wordasword>, is relevant only for certain specific compilers and build tools.

All three are always defined as attributes in the standard environment, and at the top level. That means one can get at them just like a dependency in a function that is imported with <literal>callPackage</literal>:
<programlisting>{ stdenv, buildPlatform, hostPlatform, fooDep, barDep, .. }: ...buildPlatform...</programlisting>, or just off <varname>stdenv</varname>:

The build process of certain compilers is written in such a way that the compiler resulting from a single build can itself only produce binaries for a single platform.
The task specifying this single "target platform" is thus pushed to build time of the compiler.
The root cause of this mistake is often that the compiler (which will be run on the host) and the the standard library/runtime (which will be run on the target) are built by a single build process.

There is no fundamental need to think about a single target ahead of time like this.

<title>Specifying Dependencies</title>
<para>
In this section we explore the relationship between both runtime and buildtime dependencies and the 3 Autoconf platforms.
</para>
<para>
A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the host and target platforms match.
This is directly implied by the meaning of "host platform" and "runtime dependency":
The package dependency exists while both packages are runnign on a single host platform.
</para>
<para>
A build time dependency, however, implies a shift in platforms between the depending package and the depended-on package.
The meaning of a build time dependency is that to build the depending package we need to be able to run the depended-on's package.
The depending package's build platform is therefore equal to the depended-on package's host platform.
Analogously, the depending package's host platform is equal to the depended-on package's target platform.
</para>
<para>
In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the three platforms for all its transitive dependencies.
This is the most important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will be called the <wordasword>sliding window principle</wordasword>.
</para>
<para>
Some examples will probably make this clearer.
If a package is being built with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal> platform triple of <literal>(foo, bar, bar)</literal>, then its build-time dependencies would have a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, bar)</literal>, and <emphasis>those packages'</emphasis> build-time dependencies would have triple of <literal>(foo, foo, foo)</literal>.
In other words, it should take two "rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no longer changes.
Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide with native packages.
</para>
<note><para>
The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
</para></note>
<para>
How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>, whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time.
Now, for most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>, and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly.
Instead, one can use the four attributes used for specifying dependencies as documented in <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-attributes"/>.
We "splice" together the run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>, and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls the right derivation out.
This splicing can be skipped when not cross compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross compiling.
Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works with no splicing or explicit access of <varname>buildPackages</varname> needed.
For now, feel free to use either method.
</para>
<note><para>
There is also a "backlink" <varname>targetPackages</varname>, yielding a package set whose <varname>buildPackages</varname> is the current package set.
This is a hack, though, to accommodate compilers with lousy build systems.

<title>Cross-building packages</title>
<note><para>
More information needs to moved from the old wiki, especially <link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/wiki/CrossCompiling" />, for this section.
</para></note>
<para>
Nixpkgs can be instantiated with <varname>localSystem</varname> alone, in which case there is no cross compiling and everything is built by and for that system,
or also with <varname>crossSystem</varname>, in which case packages run on the latter, but all building happens on the former.
Both parameters take the same schema as the 3 (build, host, and target) platforms defined in the previous section.
As mentioned above, <literal>lib.systems.examples</literal> has some platforms which are used as arguments for these parameters in practice.
You can use them programmatically, or on the command line like <command>nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem '(import &lt;nixpkgs/lib&gt;).systems.examples.fooBarBaz'</command>.
In this section we explore the relationship between both runtime and
buildtime dependencies and the 3 Autoconf platforms.
</para>
<para>
While one is free to pass both parameters in full, there's a lot of logic to fill in missing fields.
As discussed in the previous section, only one of <varname>system</varname>, <varname>config</varname>, and <varname>parsed</varname> is needed to infer the other two.
Additionally, <varname>libc</varname> will be inferred from <varname>parse</varname>.
Finally, <literal>localSystem.system</literal> is also <emphasis>impurely</emphasis> inferred based on the platform evaluation occurs.
This means it is often not necessary to pass <varname>localSystem</varname> at all, as in the command-line example in the previous paragraph.
A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the
host and target platforms match. This is directly implied by the meaning of
"host platform" and "runtime dependency": The package dependency exists
while both packages are running on a single host platform.

rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide
with native packages.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Many sources (manual, wiki, etc) probably mention passing <varname>system</varname>, <varname>platform</varname>, along with the optional <varname>crossSystem</varname> to nixpkgs:
<literal>import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; { system = ..; platform = ..; crossSystem = ..; }</literal>.
Passing those two instead of <varname>localSystem</varname> is still supported for compatibility, but is discouraged.
Indeed, much of the inference we do for these parameters is motivated by compatibility as much as convenience.
The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding
window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build
cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
</para>
</note>
<para>
One would think that <varname>localSystem</varname> and <varname>crossSystem</varname> overlap horribly with the three <varname>*Platforms</varname> (<varname>buildPlatform</varname>, <varname>hostPlatform,</varname> and <varname>targetPlatform</varname>; see <varname>stage.nix</varname> or the manual).
Actually, those identifiers are purposefully not used here to draw a subtle but important distinction:
While the granularity of having 3 platforms is necessary to properly *build* packages, it is overkill for specifying the user's *intent* when making a build plan or package set.
A simple "build vs deploy" dichotomy is adequate: the sliding window principle described in the previous section shows how to interpolate between the these two "end points" to get the 3 platform triple for each bootstrapping stage.
That means for any package a given package set, even those not bound on the top level but only reachable via dependencies or <varname>buildPackages</varname>, the three platforms will be defined as one of <varname>localSystem</varname> or <varname>crossSystem</varname>, with the former replacing the latter as one traverses build-time dependencies.
A last simple difference then is <varname>crossSystem</varname> should be null when one doesn't want to cross-compile, while the <varname>*Platform</varname>s are always non-null.
How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that
build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build
time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time. Now, for
most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>,
and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly. Instead,
one can use the six (<emphasis>gasp</emphasis>) attributes used for
specifying dependencies as documented in
<xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-dependencies"/>. We "splice" together the
run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>,
and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls
the right derivation out. This splicing can be skipped when not cross
compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross

<title>Cross-building packages</title>
<note>
<para>
More information needs to moved from the old wiki, especially
<link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/wiki/CrossCompiling" />, for this
section.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Nixpkgs can be instantiated with <varname>localSystem</varname> alone, in
which case there is no cross compiling and everything is built by and for
that system, or also with <varname>crossSystem</varname>, in which case
packages run on the latter, but all building happens on the former. Both
parameters take the same schema as the 3 (build, host, and target) platforms
defined in the previous section. As mentioned above,
<literal>lib.systems.examples</literal> has some platforms which are used as
arguments for these parameters in practice. You can use them
programmatically, or on the command line:
<programlisting>
nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem '(import &lt;nixpkgs/lib&gt;).systems.examples.fooBarBaz' -A whatever</programlisting>
</para>
<note>
<para>
Eventually we would like to make these platform examples an unnecessary
convenience so that
<programlisting>
nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem.config '&lt;arch&gt;-&lt;os&gt;-&lt;vendor&gt;-&lt;abi&gt;' -A whatever</programlisting>
works in the vast majority of cases. The problem today is dependencies on
other sorts of configuration which aren't given proper defaults. We rely on
the examples to crudely to set those configuration parameters in some
vaguely sane manner on the users behalf. Issue
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/34274">#34274</link>
tracks this inconvenience along with its root cause in crufty configuration
options.
</para>
</note>
<para>
While one is free to pass both parameters in full, there's a lot of logic to
fill in missing fields. As discussed in the previous section, only one of
<varname>system</varname>, <varname>config</varname>, and
<varname>parsed</varname> is needed to infer the other two. Additionally,
<varname>libc</varname> will be inferred from <varname>parse</varname>.
Finally, <literal>localSystem.system</literal> is also
<emphasis>impurely</emphasis> inferred based on the platform evaluation
occurs. This means it is often not necessary to pass
<varname>localSystem</varname> at all, as in the command-line example in the
previous paragraph.
</para>
<note>
<para>
Many sources (manual, wiki, etc) probably mention passing
<varname>system</varname>, <varname>platform</varname>, along with the
optional <varname>crossSystem</varname> to nixpkgs: <literal>import
&lt;nixpkgs&gt; { system = ..; platform = ..; crossSystem = ..;
}</literal>. Passing those two instead of <varname>localSystem</varname> is
still supported for compatibility, but is discouraged. Indeed, much of the
inference we do for these parameters is motivated by compatibility as much
as convenience.
</para>
</note>
<para>
One would think that <varname>localSystem</varname> and
<varname>crossSystem</varname> overlap horribly with the three
<varname>*Platforms</varname> (<varname>buildPlatform</varname>,
<varname>hostPlatform,</varname> and <varname>targetPlatform</varname>; see
<varname>stage.nix</varname> or the manual). Actually, those identifiers are
purposefully not used here to draw a subtle but important distinction: While
the granularity of having 3 platforms is necessary to properly *build*
packages, it is overkill for specifying the user's *intent* when making a
build plan or package set. A simple "build vs deploy" dichotomy is adequate:
the sliding window principle described in the previous section shows how to
interpolate between the these two "end points" to get the 3 platform triple
for each bootstrapping stage. That means for any package a given package
set, even those not bound on the top level but only reachable via
dependencies or <varname>buildPackages</varname>, the three platforms will
be defined as one of <varname>localSystem</varname> or
<varname>crossSystem</varname>, with the former replacing the latter as one
traverses build-time dependencies. A last simple difference then is
<varname>crossSystem</varname> should be null when one doesn't want to
cross-compile, while the <varname>*Platform</varname>s are always non-null.
<varname>localSystem</varname> is always non-null.

# User's Guide to Emscripten in Nixpkgs
[Emscripten](https://github.com/kripken/emscripten): An LLVM-to-JavaScript Compiler
This section of the manual covers how to use `emscripten` in nixpkgs.
Minimal requirements:
* nix
* nixpkgs
Modes of use of `emscripten`:
* **Imperative usage** (on the command line):
If you want to work with `emcc`, `emconfigure` and `emmake` as you are used to from Ubuntu and similar distributions you can use these commands:
* `nix-env -i emscripten`
* `nix-shell -p emscripten`
* **Declarative usage**:
This mode is far more power full since this makes use of `nix` for dependency management of emscripten libraries and targets by using the `mkDerivation` which is implemented by `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv` and `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`. The source for the packages is in `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix` and the abstraction behind it in `pkgs/development/em-modules/generic/default.nix`.
* build and install all packages:
* `nix-env -iA emscriptenPackages`
* dev-shell for zlib implementation hacking:
* `nix-shell -A emscriptenPackages.zlib`
## Imperative usage
A few things to note:
* `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` is nice for debugging
* `~/.emscripten`, the build artifact cache sometimes creates issues and needs to be removed from time to time
## Declarative usage
Let's see two different examples from `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix`:
* `pkgs.zlib.override`
* `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`
Both are interesting concepts.
A special requirement of the `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage` is the `doCheck = true` is a default meaning that each emscriptenPackage requires a `checkPhase` implemented.
* Use `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` from within a emscriptenPackage's `phase` to get more detailed debug output what is going wrong.
* ~/.emscripten cache is requiring us to set `HOME=$TMPDIR` in individual phases. This makes compilation slower but also makes it more deterministic.
### Usage 1: pkgs.zlib.override
This example uses `zlib` from nixpkgs but instead of compiling **C** to **ELF** it compiles **C** to **JS** since we were using `pkgs.zlib.override` and changed stdenv to `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv`. A few adaptions and hacks were set in place to make it working. One advantage is that when `pkgs.zlib` is updated, it will automatically update this package as well. However, this can also be the downside...
See the `zlib` example:
zlib = (pkgs.zlib.override {
stdenv = pkgs.emscriptenStdenv;
}).overrideDerivation
(old: rec {
buildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [ pkgconfig ];
# we need to reset this setting!
NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="";
configurePhase = ''
# FIXME: Some tests require writing at $HOME
HOME=$TMPDIR

runHook postConfigure
'';

});
### Usage 2: pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage
This `xmlmirror` example features a emscriptenPackage which is defined completely from this context and no `pkgs.zlib.override` is used.
xmlmirror = pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage rec {
name = "xmlmirror";

cp *.html $out/share

'';
checkPhase = ''
'';
};
### Declarative debugging
Use `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz` and from there you can go trough the individual steps. This makes it easy to build a good `unit test` or list the files of the project.
1. `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz`
2. `cd /tmp/`
3. `unpackPhase`
4. cd libz-1.2.3
5. `configurePhase`
6. `buildPhase`
7. ... happy hacking...
## Summary
Using this toolchain makes it easy to leverage `nix` from NixOS, MacOSX or even Windows (WSL+ubuntu+nix). This toolchain is reproducible, behaves like the rest of the packages from nixpkgs and contains a set of well working examples to learn and adapt from.
If in trouble, ask the maintainers.

title: User's Guide for Haskell in Nixpkgs

# User's Guide to the Haskell Infrastructure
## How to install Haskell packages
Nixpkgs distributes build instructions for all Haskell packages registered on
[Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/), but strangely enough normal Nix package
lookups don't seem to discover any of them, except for the default version of ghc, cabal-install, and stack:
```
$ nix-env -i alex
error: selector ‘alex’ matches no derivations
$ nix-env -qa ghc
ghc-7.10.2
```
The Haskell package set is not registered in the top-level namespace because it
is *huge*. If all Haskell packages were visible to these commands, then
name-based search/install operations would be much slower than they are now. We
avoided that by keeping all Haskell-related packages in a separate attribute
set called `haskellPackages`, which the following command will list:
```
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskellPackages
haskellPackages.a50 a50-0.5
haskellPackages.abacate haskell-abacate-0.0.0.0
haskellPackages.abcBridge haskell-abcBridge-0.12
haskellPackages.afv afv-0.1.1
haskellPackages.alex alex-3.1.4
haskellPackages.Allure Allure-0.4.101.1
haskellPackages.alms alms-0.6.7
[... some 8000 entries omitted ...]
```
To install any of those packages into your profile, refer to them by their
attribute path (first column):
```shell
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.Allure ...
```
The attribute path of any Haskell packages corresponds to the name of that
particular package on Hackage: the package `cabal-install` has the attribute
`haskellPackages.cabal-install`, and so on. (Actually, this convention causes
trouble with packages like `3dmodels` and `4Blocks`, because these names are
invalid identifiers in the Nix language. The issue of how to deal with these
rare corner cases is currently unresolved.)
Haskell packages whose Nix name (second column) begins with a `haskell-` prefix
are packages that provide a library whereas packages without that prefix
provide just executables. Libraries may provide executables too, though: the
package `haskell-pandoc`, for example, installs both a library and an
application. You can install and use Haskell executables just like any other
program in Nixpkgs, but using Haskell libraries for development is a bit
trickier and we'll address that subject in great detail in section [How to
create a development environment].
Attribute paths are deterministic inside of Nixpkgs, but the path necessary to
reach Nixpkgs varies from system to system. We dodged that problem by giving
`nix-env` an explicit `-f "<nixpkgs>"` parameter, but if you call `nix-env`
without that flag, then chances are the invocation fails:
```
$ nix-env -iA haskellPackages.cabal-install
error: attribute ‘haskellPackages’ in selection path
‘haskellPackages.cabal-install’ not found
```
On NixOS, for example, Nixpkgs does *not* exist in the top-level namespace by
default. To figure out the proper attribute path, it's easiest to query for the
path of a well-known Nixpkgs package, i.e.:
```
$ nix-env -qaP coreutils
nixos.coreutils coreutils-8.23
```
If your system responds like that (most NixOS installations will), then the
attribute path to `haskellPackages` is `nixos.haskellPackages`. Thus, if you
want to use `nix-env` without giving an explicit `-f` flag, then that's the way
to do it:
```shell
nix-env -qaP -A nixos.haskellPackages
nix-env -iA nixos.haskellPackages.cabal-install
```
Our current default compiler is GHC 7.10.x and the `haskellPackages` set
contains packages built with that particular version. Nixpkgs contains the
latest major release of every GHC since 6.10.4, however, and there is a whole
family of package sets available that defines Hackage packages built with each
of those compilers, too:
```shell
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc6123
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc763
```
The name `haskellPackages` is really just a synonym for
`haskell.packages.ghc7102`, because we prefer that package set internally and
recommend it to our users as their default choice, but ultimately you are free
to compile your Haskell packages with any GHC version you please. The following
command displays the complete list of available compilers:
```
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.compiler
haskell.compiler.ghc6104 ghc-6.10.4
haskell.compiler.ghc6123 ghc-6.12.3
haskell.compiler.ghc704 ghc-7.0.4
haskell.compiler.ghc722 ghc-7.2.2
haskell.compiler.ghc742 ghc-7.4.2
haskell.compiler.ghc763 ghc-7.6.3
haskell.compiler.ghc784 ghc-7.8.4
haskell.compiler.ghc7102 ghc-7.10.2
haskell.compiler.ghcHEAD ghc-7.11.20150402
haskell.compiler.ghcNokinds ghc-nokinds-7.11.20150704
haskell.compiler.ghcjs ghcjs-0.1.0
haskell.compiler.jhc jhc-0.8.2
haskell.compiler.uhc uhc-1.1.9.0
```
We have no package sets for `jhc` or `uhc` yet, unfortunately, but for every
version of GHC listed above, there exists a package set based on that compiler.
Also, the attributes `haskell.compiler.ghcXYC` and
`haskell.packages.ghcXYC.ghc` are synonymous for the sake of convenience.
## How to create a development environment
### How to install a compiler
A simple development environment consists of a Haskell compiler and one or both
of the tools `cabal-install` and `stack`. We saw in section
[How to install Haskell packages] how you can install those programs into your
user profile:
```shell
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.cabal-install
```
Instead of the default package set `haskellPackages`, you can also use the more
precise name `haskell.compiler.ghc7102`, which has the advantage that it refers
to the same GHC version regardless of what Nixpkgs considers "default" at any
given time.
Once you've made those tools available in `$PATH`, it's possible to build
Hackage packages the same way people without access to Nix do it all the time:
```shell
cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
cabal install -j --dependencies-only
cabal configure
cabal build
```
If you enjoy working with Cabal sandboxes, then that's entirely possible too:
just execute the command
```shell
cabal sandbox init
```
before installing the required dependencies.
The `nix-shell` utility makes it easy to switch to a different compiler
version; just enter the Nix shell environment with the command
```shell
nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784
```
to bring GHC 7.8.4 into `$PATH`. Alternatively, you can use Stack instead of
`nix-shell` directly to select compiler versions and other build tools
per-project. It uses `nix-shell` under the hood when Nix support is turned on.
See [How to build a Haskell project using Stack].
If you're using `cabal-install`, re-running `cabal configure` inside the spawned
shell switches your build to use that compiler instead. If you're working on
a project that doesn't depend on any additional system libraries outside of GHC,
then it's even sufficient to just run the `cabal configure` command inside of
the shell:
```shell
nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784 --command "cabal configure"
```
Afterwards, all other commands like `cabal build` work just fine in any shell
environment, because the configure phase recorded the absolute paths to all
required tools like GHC in its build configuration inside of the `dist/`
directory. Please note, however, that `nix-collect-garbage` can break such an
environment because the Nix store paths created by `nix-shell` aren't "alive"
anymore once `nix-shell` has terminated. If you find that your Haskell builds
no longer work after garbage collection, then you'll have to re-run `cabal
configure` inside of a new `nix-shell` environment.
### How to install a compiler with libraries
GHC expects to find all installed libraries inside of its own `lib` directory.
This approach works fine on traditional Unix systems, but it doesn't work for
Nix, because GHC's store path is immutable once it's built. We cannot install
additional libraries into that location. As a consequence, our copies of GHC
don't know any packages except their own core libraries, like `base`,
`containers`, `Cabal`, etc.
We can register additional libraries to GHC, however, using a special build
function called `ghcWithPackages`. That function expects one argument: a
function that maps from an attribute set of Haskell packages to a list of
packages, which determines the libraries known to that particular version of
GHC. For example, the Nix expression `ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])`
generates a copy of GHC that has the `mtl` library registered in addition to
its normal core packages:
```
$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])"
[nix-shell:~]$ ghc-pkg list mtl
/nix/store/zy79...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d:
mtl-2.2.1
```
This function allows users to define their own development environment by means
of an override. After adding the following snippet to `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix`,
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
myHaskellEnv = self.haskell.packages.ghc7102.ghcWithPackages
(haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
# libraries
arrows async cgi criterion
# tools
cabal-install haskintex
]);
};
}
```
it's possible to install that compiler with `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA
myHaskellEnv`. If you'd like to switch that development environment to a
different version of GHC, just replace the `ghc7102` bit in the previous
definition with the appropriate name. Of course, it's also possible to define
any number of these development environments! (You can't install two of them
into the same profile at the same time, though, because that would result in
file conflicts.)
The generated `ghc` program is a wrapper script that re-directs the real
GHC executable to use a new `lib` directory --- one that we specifically
constructed to contain all those packages the user requested:
```
$ cat $(type -p ghc)
#! /nix/store/xlxj...-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash -e
export NIX_GHC=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc
export NIX_GHCPKG=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc-pkg
export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/share/doc/ghc/html
export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2
exec /nix/store/j50p...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc "-B$NIX_GHC_LIBDIR" "$@"
```
The variables `$NIX_GHC`, `$NIX_GHCPKG`, etc. point to the *new* store path
`ghcWithPackages` constructed specifically for this environment. The last line
of the wrapper script then executes the real `ghc`, but passes the path to the
new `lib` directory using GHC's `-B` flag.
The purpose of those environment variables is to work around an impurity in the
popular [ghc-paths](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-paths) library. That
library promises to give its users access to GHC's installation paths. Only,
the library can't possible know that path when it's compiled, because the path
GHC considers its own is determined only much later, when the user configures
it through `ghcWithPackages`. So we [patched
ghc-paths](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/patches/ghc-paths-nix.patch)
to return the paths found in those environment variables at run-time rather
than trying to guess them at compile-time.
To make sure that mechanism works properly all the time, we recommend that you
set those variables to meaningful values in your shell environment, too, i.e.
by adding the following code to your `~/.bashrc`:
```bash
if type >/dev/null 2>&1 -p ghc; then
eval "$(egrep ^export "$(type -p ghc)")"
fi
```
If you are certain that you'll use only one GHC environment which is located in
your user profile, then you can use the following code, too, which has the
advantage that it doesn't contain any paths from the Nix store, i.e. those
settings always remain valid even if a `nix-env -u` operation updates the GHC
environment in your profile:
```bash
if [ -e ~/.nix-profile/bin/ghc ]; then
export NIX_GHC="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc"
export NIX_GHCPKG="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc-pkg"
export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/share/doc/ghc/html"
export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ghc-$($NIX_GHC --numeric-version)"
fi
```
### How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
If you plan to use your environment for interactive programming, not just
compiling random Haskell code, you might want to replace `ghcWithPackages` in
all the listings above with `ghcWithHoogle`.
This environment generator not only produces an environment with GHC and all
the specified libraries, but also generates a `hoogle` and `haddock` indexes
for all the packages, and provides a wrapper script around `hoogle` binary that
uses all those things. A precise name for this thing would be
"`ghcWithPackagesAndHoogleAndDocumentationIndexes`", which is, regrettably, too
long and scary.
For example, installing the following environment
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
myHaskellEnv = self.haskellPackages.ghcWithHoogle
(haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
# libraries
arrows async cgi criterion
# tools
cabal-install haskintex
]);
};
}
```
allows one to browse module documentation index [not too dissimilar to
this](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/libraries/index.html)
for all the specified packages and their dependencies by directing a browser of
choice to `~/.nix-profiles/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` (or
`/run/current-system/sw/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` in case you put it in
`environment.systemPackages` in NixOS).
After you've marveled enough at that try adding the following to your
`~/.ghc/ghci.conf`
```
:def hoogle \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --count=15 \"" ++ s ++ "\""
:def doc \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --info \"" ++ s ++ "\""
```
and test it by typing into `ghci`:
```
:hoogle a -> a
:doc a -> a
```
Be sure to note the links to `haddock` files in the output. With any modern and
properly configured terminal emulator you can just click those links to
navigate there.
Finally, you can run
```shell
hoogle server -p 8080
```
and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ for your own local
[Hoogle](https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/). Note, however, that Firefox and
possibly other browsers disallow navigation from `http:` to `file:` URIs for
security reasons, which might be quite an inconvenience. See [this
page](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work) for
workarounds.
### How to build a Haskell project using Stack
[Stack](http://haskellstack.org) is a popular build tool for Haskell projects.
It has first-class support for Nix. Stack can optionally use Nix to
automatically select the right version of GHC and other build tools to build,
test and execute apps in an existing project downloaded from somewhere on the
Internet. Pass the `--nix` flag to any `stack` command to do so, e.g.
```shell
git clone --recursive http://github.com/yesodweb/wai
cd wai
stack --nix build
```
If you want `stack` to use Nix by default, you can add a `nix` section to the
`stack.yaml` file, as explained in the [Stack documentation][stack-nix-doc]. For
example:
```yaml
nix:
enable: true
packages: [pkgconfig zeromq zlib]
```
The example configuration snippet above tells Stack to create an ad hoc
environment for `nix-shell` as in the below section, in which the `pkgconfig`,
`zeromq` and `zlib` packages from Nixpkgs are available. All `stack` commands
will implicitly be executed inside this ad hoc environment.
Some projects have more sophisticated needs. For examples, some ad hoc
environments might need to expose Nixpkgs packages compiled in a certain way, or
with extra environment variables. In these cases, you'll need a `shell` field
instead of `packages`:
```yaml
nix:
enable: true
shell-file: shell.nix
```
For more on how to write a `shell.nix` file see the below section. You'll need
to express a derivation. Note that Nixpkgs ships with a convenience wrapper
function around `mkDerivation` called `haskell.lib.buildStackProject` to help you
create this derivation in exactly the way Stack expects. All of the same inputs
as `mkDerivation` can be provided. For example, to build a Stack project that
including packages that link against a version of the R library compiled with
special options turned on:
```nix
with (import <nixpkgs> { });
let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
in
haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
name = "HaskellR";
buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
}
```
You can select a particular GHC version to compile with by setting the
`ghc` attribute as an argument to `buildStackProject`. Better yet, let
Stack choose what GHC version it wants based on the snapshot specified
in `stack.yaml` (only works with Stack >= 1.1.3):
```nix
{nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { }, ghc ? nixpkgs.ghc}:
with nixpkgs;
let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
in
haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
name = "HaskellR";
buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
inherit ghc;
}
```
[stack-nix-doc]: http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/nix_integration.html
### How to create ad hoc environments for `nix-shell`
The easiest way to create an ad hoc development environment is to run
`nix-shell` with the appropriate GHC environment given on the command-line:
```shell
nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [mtl pandoc])"
```
For more sophisticated use-cases, however, it's more convenient to save the
desired configuration in a file called `shell.nix` that looks like this:
```nix
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
let
inherit (nixpkgs) pkgs;
ghc = pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.ghcWithPackages (ps: with ps; [
monad-par mtl
]);
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "my-haskell-env-0";
buildInputs = [ ghc ];
shellHook = "eval $(egrep ^export ${ghc}/bin/ghc)";
}
```
Now run `nix-shell` --- or even `nix-shell --pure` --- to enter a shell
environment that has the appropriate compiler in `$PATH`. If you use `--pure`,
then add all other packages that your development environment needs into the
`buildInputs` attribute. If you'd like to switch to a different compiler
version, then pass an appropriate `compiler` argument to the expression, i.e.
`nix-shell --argstr compiler ghc784`.
If you need such an environment because you'd like to compile a Hackage package
outside of Nix --- i.e. because you're hacking on the latest version from Git
---, then the package set provides suitable nix-shell environments for you
already! Every Haskell package has an `env` attribute that provides a shell
environment suitable for compiling that particular package. If you'd like to
hack the `lens` library, for example, then you just have to check out the
source code and enter the appropriate environment:
```
$ cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
Downloading lens-4.11...
Unpacking to lens-4.11/
$ nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.lens.env
[nix-shell:/tmp/lens-4.11]$
```
At point, you can run `cabal configure`, `cabal build`, and all the other
development commands. Note that you need `cabal-install` installed in your
`$PATH` already to use it here --- the `nix-shell` environment does not provide
it.
## How to create Nix builds for your own private Haskell packages
If your own Haskell packages have build instructions for Cabal, then you can
convert those automatically into build instructions for Nix using the
`cabal2nix` utility, which you can install into your profile by running
`nix-env -i cabal2nix`.
### How to build a stand-alone project
For example, let's assume that you're working on a private project called
`foo`. To generate a Nix build expression for it, change into the project's
top-level directory and run the command:
```shell
cabal2nix . > foo.nix
```
Then write the following snippet into a file called `default.nix`:
```nix
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.callPackage ./foo.nix { }
```
Finally, store the following code in a file called `shell.nix`:
```nix
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
(import ./default.nix { inherit nixpkgs compiler; }).env
```
At this point, you can run `nix-build` to have Nix compile your project and
install it into a Nix store path. The local directory will contain a symlink
called `result` after `nix-build` returns that points into that location. Of
course, passing the flag `--argstr compiler ghc763` allows switching the build
to any version of GHC currently supported.
Furthermore, you can call `nix-shell` to enter an interactive development
environment in which you can use `cabal configure` and `cabal build` to develop
your code. That environment will automatically contain a proper GHC derivation
with all the required libraries registered as well as all the system-level
libraries your package might need.
If your package does not depend on any system-level libraries, then it's
sufficient to run
```shell
nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
```
once to set up your build. `cabal-install` determines the absolute paths to all
resources required for the build and writes them into a config file in the
`dist/` directory. Once that's done, you can run `cabal build` and any other
command for that project even outside of the `nix-shell` environment. This
feature is particularly nice for those of us who like to edit their code with
an IDE, like Emacs' `haskell-mode`, because it's not necessary to start Emacs
inside of nix-shell just to make it find out the necessary settings for
building the project; `cabal-install` has already done that for us.
If you want to do some quick-and-dirty hacking and don't want to bother setting
up a `default.nix` and `shell.nix` file manually, then you can use the
`--shell` flag offered by `cabal2nix` to have it generate a stand-alone
`nix-shell` environment for you. With that feature, running
```shell
cabal2nix --shell . > shell.nix
nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
```
is usually enough to set up a build environment for any given Haskell package.
You can even use that generated file to run `nix-build`, too:
```shell
nix-build shell.nix
```
### How to build projects that depend on each other
If you have multiple private Haskell packages that depend on each other, then
you'll have to register those packages in the Nixpkgs set to make them visible
for the dependency resolution performed by `callPackage`. First of all, change
into each of your projects top-level directories and generate a `default.nix`
file with `cabal2nix`:
```shell
cd ~/src/foo && cabal2nix . > default.nix
cd ~/src/bar && cabal2nix . > default.nix
```
Then edit your `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` file to register those builds in the
default Haskell package set:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskellPackages = super.haskellPackages.override {
overrides = self: super: {
foo = self.callPackage ../src/foo {};
bar = self.callPackage ../src/bar {};
};
};
};
}
```
Once that's accomplished, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qA haskellPackages` will
show your packages like any other package from Hackage, and you can build them
```shell
nix-build "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.foo
```
or enter an interactive shell environment suitable for building them:
```shell
nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.bar.env
```
## Miscellaneous Topics
### How to build with profiling enabled
Every Haskell package set takes a function called `overrides` that you can use
to manipulate the package as much as you please. One useful application of this
feature is to replace the default `mkDerivation` function with one that enables
library profiling for all packages. To accomplish that, add configure the
following snippet in your `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` file:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
profiledHaskellPackages = self.haskellPackages.override {
overrides = self: super: {
mkDerivation = args: super.mkDerivation (args // {
enableLibraryProfiling = true;
});
};
};
};
}
```
Then, replace instances of `haskellPackages` in the `cabal2nix`-generated
`default.nix` or `shell.nix` files with `profiledHaskellPackages`.
### How to override package versions in a compiler-specific package set
Nixpkgs provides the latest version of
[`ghc-events`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-events), which is 0.4.4.0
at the time of this writing. This is fine for users of GHC 7.10.x, but GHC
7.8.4 cannot compile that binary. Now, one way to solve that problem is to
register an older version of `ghc-events` in the 7.8.x-specific package set.
The first step is to generate Nix build instructions with `cabal2nix`:
```shell
cabal2nix cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 > ~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
```
Then add the override in `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix`:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskell = super.haskell // {
packages = super.haskell.packages // {
ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
};
};
};
};
};
}
```
This code is a little crazy, no doubt, but it's necessary because the intuitive
version
```nix
{ # ...
haskell.packages.ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
};
};
}
```
doesn't do what we want it to: that code replaces the `haskell` package set in
Nixpkgs with one that contains only one entry,`packages`, which contains only
one entry `ghc784`. This override loses the `haskell.compiler` set, and it
loses the `haskell.packages.ghcXYZ` sets for all compilers but GHC 7.8.4. To
avoid that problem, we have to perform the convoluted little dance from above,
iterating over each step in hierarchy.
Once it's accomplished, however, we can install a variant of `ghc-events`
that's compiled with GHC 7.8.4:
```shell
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskell.packages.ghc784.ghc-events
```
Unfortunately, it turns out that this build fails again while executing the
test suite! Apparently, the release archive on Hackage is missing some data
files that the test suite requires, so we cannot run it. We accomplish that by
re-generating the Nix expression with the `--no-check` flag:
```shell
cabal2nix --no-check cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 > ~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
```
Now the builds succeeds.
Of course, in the concrete example of `ghc-events` this whole exercise is not
an ideal solution, because `ghc-events` can analyze the output emitted by any
version of GHC later than 6.12 regardless of the compiler version that was used
to build the `ghc-events` executable, so strictly speaking there's no reason to
prefer one built with GHC 7.8.x in the first place. However, for users who
cannot use GHC 7.10.x at all for some reason, the approach of downgrading to an
older version might be useful.
### How to recover from GHC's infamous non-deterministic library ID bug
GHC and distributed build farms don't get along well:
- https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4012
When you see an error like this one
```
package foo-0.7.1.0 is broken due to missing package
text-1.2.0.4-98506efb1b9ada233bb5c2b2db516d91
```
then you have to download and re-install `foo` and all its dependents from
scratch:
```shell
nix-store -q --referrers /nix/store/*-haskell-text-1.2.0.4 \
| xargs -L 1 nix-store --repair-path
```
If you're using additional Hydra servers other than `hydra.nixos.org`, then it
might be necessary to purge the local caches that store data from those
machines to disable these binary channels for the duration of the previous
command, i.e. by running:
```shell
rm /nix/var/nix/binary-cache-v3.sqlite
rm /nix/var/nix/manifests/*
rm /nix/var/nix/channel-cache/*
```
### Builds on Darwin fail with `math.h` not found
Users of GHC on Darwin have occasionally reported that builds fail, because the
compiler complains about a missing include file:
```
fatal error: 'math.h' file not found
```
The issue has been discussed at length in [ticket
6390](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/6390), and so far no good
solution has been proposed. As a work-around, users who run into this problem
can configure the environment variables
```shell
export NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="-idirafter /usr/include"
export NIX_CFLAGS_LINK="-L/usr/lib"
```
in their `~/.bashrc` file to avoid the compiler error.
### Builds using Stack complain about missing system libraries
```
-- While building package zlib-0.5.4.2 using:
runhaskell -package=Cabal-1.22.4.0 -clear-package-db [... lots of flags ...]
Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1
Logs have been written to: /home/foo/src/stack-ide/.stack-work/logs/zlib-0.5.4.2.log
Configuring zlib-0.5.4.2...
Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
```
When you run the build inside of the nix-shell environment, the system
is configured to find `libz.so` without any special flags -- the compiler
and linker "just know" how to find it. Consequently, Cabal won't record
any search paths for `libz.so` in the package description, which means
that the package works fine inside of nix-shell, but once you leave the
shell the shared object can no longer be found. That issue is by no
means specific to Stack: you'll have that problem with any other
Haskell package that's built inside of nix-shell but run outside of that
environment.
You can remedy this issue in several ways. The easiest is to add a `nix` section
to the `stack.yaml` like the following:
```yaml
nix:
enable: true
packages: [ zlib ]
```
Stack's Nix support knows to add `${zlib.out}/lib` and `${zlib.dev}/include`
as an `--extra-lib-dirs` and `extra-include-dirs`, respectively.
Alternatively, you can achieve the same effect by hand. First of all, run
```
$ nix-build --no-out-link "<nixpkgs>" -A zlib
/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8
```
to find out the store path of the system's zlib library. Now, you can
1. add that path (plus a "/lib" suffix) to your `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
environment variable to make sure your system linker finds `libz.so`
automatically. It's no pretty solution, but it will work.
2. As a variant of (1), you can also install any number of system
libraries into your user's profile (or some other profile) and point
`$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to that profile instead, so that you don't have to
list dozens of those store paths all over the place.
3. The solution I prefer is to call stack with an appropriate
--extra-lib-dirs flag like so:
```shell
stack --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8/lib build
```
Typically, you'll need `--extra-include-dirs` as well. It's possible
to add those flag to the project's `stack.yaml` or your user's
global `~/.stack/global/stack.yaml` file so that you don't have to
specify them manually every time. But again, you're likely better off
using Stack's Nix support instead.
The same thing applies to `cabal configure`, of course, if you're
building with `cabal-install` instead of Stack.
### Creating statically linked binaries
There are two levels of static linking. The first option is to configure the
build with the Cabal flag `--disable-executable-dynamic`. In Nix expressions,
this can be achieved by setting the attribute:
```
enableSharedExecutables = false;
```
That gives you a binary with statically linked Haskell libraries and
dynamically linked system libraries.
To link both Haskell libraries and system libraries statically, the additional
flags `--ghc-option=-optl=-static --ghc-option=-optl=-pthread` need to be used.
In Nix, this is accomplished with:
```
configureFlags = [ "--ghc-option=-optl=-static" "--ghc-option=-optl=-pthread" ];
```
It's important to realize, however, that most system libraries in Nix are
built as shared libraries only, i.e. there is just no static library
available that Cabal could link!
### Building GHC with integer-simple
By default GHC implements the Integer type using the
[GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic (GMP) library](https://gmplib.org/).
The implementation can be found in the
[integer-gmp](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/integer-gmp) package.
A potential problem with this is that GMP is licensed under the
[GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html),
a kind of "copyleft" license. According to the terms of the LGPL, paragraph 5,
you may distribute a program that is designed to be compiled and dynamically
linked with the library under the terms of your choice (i.e., commercially) but
if your program incorporates portions of the library, if it is linked
statically, then your program is a "derivative"--a "work based on the
library"--and according to paragraph 2, section c, you "must cause the whole of
the work to be licensed" under the terms of the LGPL (including for free).
The LGPL licensing for GMP is a problem for the overall licensing of binary
programs compiled with GHC because most distributions (and builds) of GHC use
static libraries. (Dynamic libraries are currently distributed only for macOS.)
The LGPL licensing situation may be worse: even though
[The Glasgow Haskell Compiler License](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/license)
is essentially a "free software" license (BSD3), according to
paragraph 2 of the LGPL, GHC must be distributed under the terms of the LGPL!
To work around these problems GHC can be build with a slower but LGPL-free
alternative implemention for Integer called
[integer-simple](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/integer-simple).
To get a GHC compiler build with `integer-simple` instead of `integer-gmp` use
the attribute: `haskell.compiler.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"`.
For example:
```
$ nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc802'
...
$ result/bin/ghc-pkg list | grep integer
integer-simple-0.1.1.1
```
The following command displays the complete list of GHC compilers build with `integer-simple`:
```
$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.compiler.integer-simple
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc7102 ghc-7.10.2
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc7103 ghc-7.10.3
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc722 ghc-7.2.2
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc742 ghc-7.4.2
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc783 ghc-7.8.3
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc784 ghc-7.8.4
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc801 ghc-8.0.1
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc802 ghc-8.0.2
haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghcHEAD ghc-8.1.20170106
```
To get a package set supporting `integer-simple` use the attribute:
`haskell.packages.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"`. For example
use the following to get the `scientific` package build with `integer-simple`:
```shell
nix-build -A haskell.packages.integer-simple.ghc802.scientific
```
### Quality assurance
The `haskell.lib` library includes a number of functions for checking for
various imperfections in Haskell packages. It's useful to apply these functions
to your own Haskell packages and integrate that in a Continuous Integration
server like [hydra](https://nixos.org/hydra/) to assure your packages maintain a
minimum level of quality. This section discusses some of these functions.
#### failOnAllWarnings
Applying `haskell.lib.failOnAllWarnings` to a Haskell package enables the
`-Wall` and `-Werror` GHC options to turn all warnings into build failures.
#### buildStrictly
Applying `haskell.lib.buildStrictly` to a Haskell package calls
`failOnAllWarnings` on the given package to turn all warnings into build
failures. Additionally the source of your package is gotten from first invoking
`cabal sdist` to ensure all needed files are listed in the Cabal file.
#### checkUnusedPackages
Applying `haskell.lib.checkUnusedPackages` to a Haskell package invokes
the [packunused](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/packunused) tool on the
package. `packunused` complains when it finds packages listed as build-depends
in the Cabal file which are redundant. For example:
```
$ nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; in pkgs.haskell.lib.checkUnusedPackages {} pkgs.haskellPackages.scientific'
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/3lc51cxj2j57y3zfpq5i69qbzjpvyci1-scientific-0.3.5.1.drv
...
detected package components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- library
- testsuite(s): test-scientific
- benchmark(s): bench-scientific*
(component names suffixed with '*' are not configured to be built)
library
~~~~~~~
The following package dependencies seem redundant:
- ghc-prim-0.5.0.0
testsuite(test-scientific)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
no redundant packages dependencies found
builder for ‘/nix/store/3lc51cxj2j57y3zfpq5i69qbzjpvyci1-scientific-0.3.5.1.drv’ failed with exit code 1
error: build of ‘/nix/store/3lc51cxj2j57y3zfpq5i69qbzjpvyci1-scientific-0.3.5.1.drv’ failed
```
As you can see, `packunused` finds out that although the testsuite component has
no redundant dependencies the library component of `scientific-0.3.5.1` depends
on `ghc-prim` which is unused in the library.

Idris packages
==============
This directory contains build rules for idris packages. In addition,
it contains several functions to build and compose those packages.
Everything is exposed to the user via the `idrisPackages` attribute.
callPackage
------------
This is like the normal nixpkgs callPackage function, specialized to
idris packages.
builtins
---------
This is a list of all of the libraries that come packaged with Idris
itself.
build-idris-package
--------------------
A function to build an idris package. Its sole argument is a set like
you might pass to `stdenv.mkDerivation`, except `build-idris-package`
sets several attributes for you. See `build-idris-package.nix` for
details.
build-builtin-package
----------------------
A version of `build-idris-package` specialized to builtin libraries.
Mostly for internal use.
with-packages
-------------
Bundle idris together with a list of packages. Because idris currently
only supports a single directory in its library path, you must include
all desired libraries here, including `prelude` and `base`.

Node.js packages
================
The `pkgs/development/node-packages` folder contains a generated collection of
[NPM packages](https://npmjs.com/) that can be installed with the Nix package
manager.
As a rule of thumb, the package set should only provide *end user* software
packages, such as command-line utilities. Libraries should only be added to the
package set if there is a non-NPM package that requires it.
When it is desired to use NPM libraries in a development project, use the
`node2nix` generator directly on the `package.json` configuration file of the
project.
The package set also provides support for multiple Node.js versions. The policy
is that a new package should be added to the collection for the latest stable LTS
release (which is currently 6.x), unless there is an explicit reason to support
a different release.
If your package uses native addons, you need to examine what kind of native
build system it uses. Here are some examples:
* `node-gyp`
* `node-gyp-builder`
* `node-pre-gyp`
After you have identified the correct system, you need to override your package
expression while adding in build system as a build input. For example, `dat`
requires `node-gyp-build`, so we override its expression in `default-v6.nix`:
```nix
dat = nodePackages.dat.override (oldAttrs: {
buildInputs = oldAttrs.buildInputs ++ [ nodePackages.node-gyp-build ];
});
```
To add a package from NPM to nixpkgs:
1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v6.json` to add, update
or remove package entries. (Or `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v4.json`
for packages depending on Node.js 4.x)
2. Run the script: `(cd pkgs/development/node-packages && ./generate.sh)`.
3. Build your new package to test your changes:
`cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
To build against a specific Node.js version (e.g. 4.x):
`nix-build -A nodePackages_4_x.<new-or-updated-package>`
4. Add and commit all modified and generated files.
For more information about the generation process, consult the
[README.md](https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix) file of the `node2nix`
tool.

R packages
==========
## Installation
Define an environment for R that contains all the libraries that you'd like to
use by adding the following snippet to your $HOME/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix file:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
rEnv = super.rWrapper.override {
packages = with self.rPackages; [
devtools
ggplot2
reshape2
yaml
optparse
];
};
};
}
```
Then you can use `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rEnv` to install it into your user
profile. The set of available libraries can be discovered by running the
command `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A rPackages`. The first column from that
output is the name that has to be passed to rWrapper in the code snipped above.
However, if you'd like to add a file to your project source to make the
environment available for other contributors, you can create a `default.nix`
file like so:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
in with pkgs; {
myProject = stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "myProject";
version = "1";
src = if pkgs.lib.inNixShell then null else nix;
buildInputs = with rPackages; [
R
ggplot2
knitr
];
};
}
```
and then run `nix-shell .` to be dropped into a shell with those packages
available.
## RStudio
RStudio uses a standard set of packages and ignores any custom R
environments or installed packages you may have. To create a custom
environment, see `rstudioWrapper`, which functions similarly to
`rWrapper`:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
rstudioEnv = super.rstudioWrapper.override {
packages = with self.rPackages; [
dplyr
ggplot2
reshape2
];
};
};
}
```
Then like above, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rstudioEnv` will install
this into your user profile.
Alternatively, you can create a self-contained `shell.nix` without the need to
modify any configuration files:
```nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}
}:
pkgs.rstudioWrapper.override {
packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ dplyr ggplot2 reshape2 ];
}
```
Executing `nix-shell` will then drop you into an environment equivalent to the
one above. If you need additional packages just add them to the list and
re-enter the shell.
## Updating the package set
```bash
nix-shell generate-shell.nix
Rscript generate-r-packages.R cran > cran-packages.nix.new
mv cran-packages.nix.new cran-packages.nix
Rscript generate-r-packages.R bioc > bioc-packages.nix.new
mv bioc-packages.nix.new bioc-packages.nix
```
`generate-r-packages.R <repo>` reads `<repo>-packages.nix`, therefor the renaming.
## Testing if the Nix-expression could be evaluated
```bash
nix-build test-evaluation.nix --dry-run
```
If this exits fine, the expression is ok. If not, you have to edit `default.nix`

scope with `nix-shell -p rustc cargo`.
For daily builds (beta and nightly) use either rustup from
nixpkgs or use the [Rust nightlies
overlay](#using-the-rust-nightlies-overlay).
## Compiling Rust applications with Cargo
Rust applications are packaged by using the `buildRustPackage` helper from `rustPlatform`:
```
rustPlatform.buildRustPackage rec {
name = "ripgrep-${version}";
version = "0.4.0";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "BurntSushi";
repo = "ripgrep";
rev = "${version}";
sha256 = "0y5d1n6hkw85jb3rblcxqas2fp82h3nghssa4xqrhqnz25l799pj";
};
cargoSha256 = "0q68qyl2h6i0qsz82z840myxlnjay8p1w5z7hfyr8fqp7wgwa9cx";
meta = with stdenv.lib; {
description = "A fast line-oriented regex search tool, similar to ag and ack";
homepage = https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep;
license = licenses.unlicense;
maintainers = [ maintainers.tailhook ];
platforms = platforms.all;
};
}
```
`buildRustPackage` requires a `cargoSha256` attribute which is computed over
all crate sources of this package. Currently it is obtained by inserting a
fake checksum into the expression and building the package once. The correct
checksum can be then take from the failed build.
To install crates with nix there is also an experimental project called
[nixcrates](https://github.com/fractalide/nixcrates).
## Compiling Rust crates using Nix instead of Cargo
When run, `cargo build` produces a file called `Cargo.lock`,
containing pinned versions of all dependencies. Nixpkgs contains a
tool called `carnix` (`nix-env -iA nixos.carnix`), which can be used
to turn a `Cargo.lock` into a Nix expression.
That Nix expression calls `rustc` directly (hence bypassing Cargo),
and can be used to compile a crate and all its dependencies. Here is
an example for a minimal `hello` crate:
$ cargo new hello
$ cd hello
$ cargo build
Compiling hello v0.1.0 (file:///tmp/hello)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.20 secs
$ carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
$ nix-build hello.nix
Now, the file produced by the call to `carnix`, called `hello.nix`, looks like:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let kernel = buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
# ... (content skipped)
hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "hello";
version = "0.1.0";
authors = [ "Authorname <user@example.com>" ];
src = ./.;
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
in
rec {
hello_0_1_0 = hello_0_1_0_ rec {};
}
```
In particular, note that the argument given as `--src` is copied
verbatim to the source. If we look at a more complicated
dependencies, for instance by adding a single line `libc="*"` to our
`Cargo.toml`, we first need to run `cargo build` to update the
`Cargo.lock`. Then, `carnix` needs to be run again, and produces the
following nix file:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let kernel = buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
# ... (content skipped)
hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "hello";
version = "0.1.0";
authors = [ "Jörg Thalheim <joerg@thalheim.io>" ];
src = ./.;
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
libc_0_2_34_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "libc";
version = "0.2.34";
authors = [ "The Rust Project Developers" ];
sha256 = "11jmqdxmv0ka10ay0l8nzx0nl7s2lc3dbrnh1mgbr2grzwdyxi2s";
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
in
rec {
hello_0_1_0 = hello_0_1_0_ rec {
dependencies = [ libc_0_2_34 ];
};
libc_0_2_34_features."default".from_hello_0_1_0__default = true;
libc_0_2_34 = libc_0_2_34_ rec {
features = mkFeatures libc_0_2_34_features;
};
libc_0_2_34_features."use_std".self_default = hasDefault libc_0_2_34_features;
}
```
Here, the `libc` crate has no `src` attribute, so `buildRustCrate`
will fetch it from [crates.io](https://crates.io). A `sha256`
attribute is still needed for Nix purity.
Some crates require external libraries. For crates from
[crates.io](https://crates.io), such libraries can be specified in
`defaultCrateOverrides` package in nixpkgs itself.
Starting from that file, one can add more overrides, to add features
or build inputs by overriding the hello crate in a seperate file.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(import ./hello.nix).hello_0_1_0.override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
hello = attrs: { buildInputs = [ openssl ]; };
};
}
```
Here, `crateOverrides` is expected to be a attribute set, where the
key is the crate name without version number and the value a function.
The function gets all attributes passed to `buildRustCrate` as first
argument and returns a set that contains all attribute that should be
overwritten.
For more complicated cases, such as when parts of the crate's
derivation depend on the the crate's version, the `attrs` argument of
the override above can be read, as in the following example, which
patches the derivation:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(import ./hello.nix).hello_0_1_0.override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
hello = attrs: lib.optionalAttrs (lib.versionAtLeast attrs.version "1.0") {
postPatch = ''
substituteInPlace lib/zoneinfo.rs \
--replace "/usr/share/zoneinfo" "${tzdata}/share/zoneinfo"
'';
};
};
}
```
Another situation is when we want to override a nested
dependency. This actually works in the exact same way, since the
`crateOverrides` parameter is forwarded to the crate's
dependencies. For instance, to override the build inputs for crate
`libc` in the example above, where `libc` is a dependency of the main
crate, we could do:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(import hello.nix).hello_0_1_0.override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
libc = attrs: { buildInputs = []; };
};
}
```
Three more parameters can be overridden:
- The version of rustc used to compile the crate:
```
hello_0_1_0.override { rust = pkgs.rust; };
```
- Whether to build in release mode or debug mode (release mode by
default):
```
hello_0_1_0.override { release = false; };
```
- Whether to print the commands sent to rustc when building
(equivalent to `--verbose` in cargo:
```
hello_0_1_0.override { verbose = false; };
```
## Using the Rust nightlies overlay
Mozilla provides an overlay for nixpkgs to bring a nightly version of Rust into scope.
This overlay can _also_ be used to install recent unstable or stable versions
of Rust, if desired.
To use this overlay, clone
[nixpkgs-mozilla](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla),
and create a symbolic link to the file
[rust-overlay.nix](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/master/rust-overlay.nix)
in the `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays` directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla.git
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
$ ln -s $(pwd)/nixpkgs-mozilla/rust-overlay.nix ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/rust-overlay.nix
The latest version can be installed with the following command:
$ nix-env -Ai nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
Or using the attribute with nix-shell:
$ nix-shell -p nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
To install the beta or nightly channel, "stable" should be substituted by
"nightly" or "beta", or
use the function provided by this overlay to pull a version based on a
build date.
The overlay automatically updates itself as it uses the same source as
[rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/).

## Compiling Rust crates using Nix instead of Cargo
### Simple operation
When run, `cargo build` produces a file called `Cargo.lock`,
containing pinned versions of all dependencies. Nixpkgs contains a
tool called `carnix` (`nix-env -iA nixos.carnix`), which can be used
to turn a `Cargo.lock` into a Nix expression.
That Nix expression calls `rustc` directly (hence bypassing Cargo),
and can be used to compile a crate and all its dependencies. Here is
an example for a minimal `hello` crate:
$ cargo new hello
$ cd hello
$ cargo build
Compiling hello v0.1.0 (file:///tmp/hello)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.20 secs
$ carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
$ nix-build hello.nix -A hello_0_1_0
Now, the file produced by the call to `carnix`, called `hello.nix`, looks like:
```
# Generated by carnix 0.6.5: carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
{ lib, buildPlatform, buildRustCrate, fetchgit }:
let kernel = buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
# ... (content skipped)
in
rec {
hello = f: hello_0_1_0 { features = hello_0_1_0_features { hello_0_1_0 = f; }; };
hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "hello";
version = "0.1.0";
authors = [ "pe@pijul.org <pe@pijul.org>" ];
src = ./.;
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
hello_0_1_0 = { features?(hello_0_1_0_features {}) }: hello_0_1_0_ {};
hello_0_1_0_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
hello_0_1_0.default = (f.hello_0_1_0.default or true);
}) [ ];
}
```
In particular, note that the argument given as `--src` is copied
verbatim to the source. If we look at a more complicated
dependencies, for instance by adding a single line `libc="*"` to our
`Cargo.toml`, we first need to run `cargo build` to update the

following nix file:
```

in
rec {
hello = f: hello_0_1_0 { features = hello_0_1_0_features { hello_0_1_0 = f; }; };
hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "hello";
version = "0.1.0";
authors = [ "pe@pijul.org <pe@pijul.org>" ];
src = ./.;
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
libc_0_2_36_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "libc";
version = "0.2.36";
authors = [ "The Rust Project Developers" ];
sha256 = "01633h4yfqm0s302fm0dlba469bx8y6cs4nqc8bqrmjqxfxn515l";
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
hello_0_1_0 = { features?(hello_0_1_0_features {}) }: hello_0_1_0_ {
dependencies = mapFeatures features ([ libc_0_2_36 ]);
};
hello_0_1_0_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
hello_0_1_0.default = (f.hello_0_1_0.default or true);
libc_0_2_36.default = true;
}) [ libc_0_2_36_features ];
libc_0_2_36 = { features?(libc_0_2_36_features {}) }: libc_0_2_36_ {
features = mkFeatures (features.libc_0_2_36 or {});
};
libc_0_2_36_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
libc_0_2_36.default = (f.libc_0_2_36.default or true);
libc_0_2_36.use_std =
(f.libc_0_2_36.use_std or false) ||
(f.libc_0_2_36.default or false) ||
(libc_0_2_36.default or false);
}) [];
}
```
Here, the `libc` crate has no `src` attribute, so `buildRustCrate`
will fetch it from [crates.io](https://crates.io). A `sha256`
attribute is still needed for Nix purity.
### Handling external dependencies
Some crates require external libraries. For crates from
[crates.io](https://crates.io), such libraries can be specified in
`defaultCrateOverrides` package in nixpkgs itself.
Starting from that file, one can add more overrides, to add features
or build inputs by overriding the hello crate in a seperate file.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import ./hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
hello = attrs: { buildInputs = [ openssl ]; };
};
}
```
Here, `crateOverrides` is expected to be a attribute set, where the
key is the crate name without version number and the value a function.
The function gets all attributes passed to `buildRustCrate` as first
argument and returns a set that contains all attribute that should be
overwritten.
For more complicated cases, such as when parts of the crate's
derivation depend on the the crate's version, the `attrs` argument of
the override above can be read, as in the following example, which
patches the derivation:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import ./hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
hello = attrs: lib.optionalAttrs (lib.versionAtLeast attrs.version "1.0") {
postPatch = ''
substituteInPlace lib/zoneinfo.rs \
--replace "/usr/share/zoneinfo" "${tzdata}/share/zoneinfo"
'';
};
};
}
```
Another situation is when we want to override a nested
dependency. This actually works in the exact same way, since the
`crateOverrides` parameter is forwarded to the crate's
dependencies. For instance, to override the build inputs for crate
`libc` in the example above, where `libc` is a dependency of the main
crate, we could do:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
libc = attrs: { buildInputs = []; };
};
}
```
### Options and phases configuration
Actually, the overrides introduced in the previous section are more
general. A number of other parameters can be overridden:
- The version of rustc used to compile the crate:
```
(hello {}).override { rust = pkgs.rust; };
```
- Whether to build in release mode or debug mode (release mode by
default):
```
(hello {}).override { release = false; };
```
- Whether to print the commands sent to rustc when building
(equivalent to `--verbose` in cargo:
```
(hello {}).override { verbose = false; };
```
- Extra arguments to be passed to `rustc`:
```
(hello {}).override { extraRustcOpts = "-Z debuginfo=2"; };
```
- Phases, just like in any other derivation, can be specified using
the following attributes: `preUnpack`, `postUnpack`, `prePatch`,
`patches`, `postPatch`, `preConfigure` (in the case of a Rust crate,
this is run before calling the "build" script), `postConfigure`
(after the "build" script),`preBuild`, `postBuild`, `preInstall` and
`postInstall`. As an example, here is how to create a new module
before running the build script:
```
(hello {}).override {
preConfigure = ''
echo "pub const PATH=\"${hi.out}\";" >> src/path.rs"
'';
};
```
### Features
One can also supply features switches. For example, if we want to
compile `diesel_cli` only with the `postgres` feature, and no default
features, we would write:
```
(callPackage ./diesel.nix {}).diesel {
default = false;
postgres = true;
}
```
Where `diesel.nix` is the file generated by Carnix, as explained above.
## Setting Up `nix-shell`
Oftentimes you want to develop code from within `nix-shell`. Unfortunately
`buildRustCrate` does not support common `nix-shell` operations directly
(see [this issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/37945))
so we will use `stdenv.mkDerivation` instead.
Using the example `hello` project above, we want to do the following:
- Have access to `cargo` and `rustc`
- Have the `openssl` library available to a crate through it's _normal_
compilation mechanism (`pkg-config`).
A typical `shell.nix` might look like:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "rust-env";
buildInputs = [
rustc cargo
# Example Additional Dependencies
pkgconfig openssl
];
# Set Environment Variables
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
}
```
You should now be able to run the following:
```
$ nix-shell --pure
$ cargo build
$ cargo test
```
### Controlling Rust Version Inside `nix-shell`
To control your rust version (i.e. use nightly) from within `shell.nix` (or
other nix expressions) you can use the following `shell.nix`
```
# Latest Nightly
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "mozilla";
repo = "nixpkgs-mozilla";
# commit from: 2018-03-27
rev = "2945b0b6b2fd19e7d23bac695afd65e320efcebe";
sha256 = "034m1dryrzh2lmjvk3c0krgip652dql46w5yfwpvh7gavd3iypyw";
};
in
with import "${src.out}/rust-overlay.nix" pkgs pkgs;
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "rust-env";
buildInputs = [
# Note: to use use stable, just replace `nightly` with `stable`
latest.rustChannels.nightly.rust
# Add some extra dependencies from `pkgs`
pkgconfig openssl
];
# Set Environment Variables
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
}
```
Now run:
```
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.26.0-nightly (188e693b3 2018-03-26)
```
To see that you are using nightly.
## Using the Rust nightlies overlay
Mozilla provides an overlay for nixpkgs to bring a nightly version of Rust into scope.
This overlay can _also_ be used to install recent unstable or stable versions
of Rust, if desired.
To use this overlay, clone
[nixpkgs-mozilla](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla),
and create a symbolic link to the file
[rust-overlay.nix](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/master/rust-overlay.nix)
in the `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays` directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla.git
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
$ ln -s $(pwd)/nixpkgs-mozilla/rust-overlay.nix ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/rust-overlay.nix
The latest version can be installed with the following command:
$ nix-env -Ai nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
Or using the attribute with nix-shell:
$ nix-shell -p nixos.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
To install the beta or nightly channel, "stable" should be substituted by
"nightly" or "beta", or
use the function provided by this overlay to pull a version based on a
build date.
The overlay automatically updates itself as it uses the same source as
[rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/).

information about a package such as a description, its homepage, its license,
and so on. For instance, the GNU Hello package has a <varname>meta</varname>
declaration like this:
<programlisting>
meta = {
meta = with stdenv.lib; {
description = "A program that produces a familiar, friendly greeting";
longDescription = ''
GNU Hello is a program that prints "Hello, world!" when you run it.
It is fully customizable.
'';
homepage = http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/;
license = stdenv.lib.licenses.gpl3Plus;
maintainers = [ stdenv.lib.maintainers.eelco ];
platforms = stdenv.lib.platforms.all;
license = licenses.gpl3Plus;
maintainers = [ maintainers.eelco ];
platforms = platforms.all;
};
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>Meta-attributes are not passed to the builder of the package.
Thus, a change to a meta-attribute doesn’t trigger a recompilation of
the package. The value of a meta-attribute must be a string.</para>

<title>Writing a split derivation</title>
<para>
Here you find how to write a derivation that produces multiple outputs.
</para>
<para>
In nixpkgs there is a framework supporting multiple-output derivations. It
tries to cover most cases by default behavior. You can find the source
separated in
&lt;<filename>nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/multiple-outputs.sh</filename>&gt;;
it's relatively well-readable. The whole machinery is triggered by defining
the <varname>outputs</varname> attribute to contain the list of desired
output names (strings).

<para>Often such a single line is enough. For each output an equally named environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix store for that output. By convention, the first output should contain the executable programs provided by the package as that output is used by Nix in string conversions, allowing references to binaries like <literal>${pkgs.perl}/bin/perl</literal> to always work.

environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix
store for that output. Typically you also want to have the main
<varname>out</varname> output, as it catches any files that didn't get
elsewhere.

There is a special handling of the <varname>debug</varname> output,

<section xml:id="multiple-output-file-binaries-first-convention">
<title><quote>Binaries first</quote></title>
<para>
A commonly adopted convention in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> is that
executables provided by the package are contained within its first output.
This convention allows the dependent packages to reference the executables
provided by packages in a uniform manner. For instance, provided with the
knowledge that the <literal>perl</literal> package contains a
<literal>perl</literal> executable it can be referenced as
<literal>${pkgs.perl}/bin/perl</literal> within a Nix derivation that needs
to execute a Perl script.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>glibc</literal> package is a deliberate single exception to
the <quote>binaries first</quote> convention. The <literal>glibc</literal>
has <literal>libs</literal> as its first output allowing the libraries
provided by <literal>glibc</literal> to be referenced directly (e.g.
<literal>${stdenv.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2</literal>). The
executables provided by <literal>glibc</literal> can be accessed via its
<literal>bin</literal> attribute (e.g.
<literal>${stdenv.glibc.bin}/bin/ldd</literal>).
</para>
<para>
The reason for why <literal>glibc</literal> deviates from the convention is
because referencing a library provided by <literal>glibc</literal> is a
very common operation among Nix packages. For instance, third-party
executables packaged by Nix are typically patched and relinked with the
relevant version of <literal>glibc</literal> libraries from Nix packages
(please see the documentation on
<link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/patchelf.html">patchelf</link> for more
details).

stdenv.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
```nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
# this will make all the build inputs from hello and gnutar available to the shell environment
inputsFrom = with pkgs; [ hello gnutar ];
buildInputs = [ pkgs.gnumake ];

<title>Built on platform(s)</title>
<para>
Many Nix packages are designed to run on multiple
platforms. As such, it's important to let the maintainer know which
platforms your changes have been tested on. It's not always practical to
test a change on all platforms, and is not required for a pull request to
be merged. Only check the systems you tested the build on in this
section.

Packages with automated tests are much more likely to be merged in a
timely fashion because it doesn't require as much manual testing by the
maintainer to verify the functionality of the package. If there are
existing tests for the package, they should be run to verify your changes
do not break the tests. Tests only apply to packages with NixOS modules
defined and can only be run on Linux. For more details on writing and
running tests, see the <link

If you are updating a package's version, you can use nox to make sure all
packages that depend on the updated package still compile correctly. This
can be done using the nox utility. The <command>nox-review</command>
utility can look for and build all dependencies either based on
uncommited changes with the <literal>wip</literal> option or specifying a
github pull request number.
