Great news: I learned (at a VERY basic level) how to use nix-shell! The idea of encapsulated development environments is so great! That’s what I’ve been using with python-virtual environments for a few years now. Having that for EVERY development environment is just crazy clean, from a system-state point of view. Here’s my current shell.nix:
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [
gnumake
xorg.libX11.dev
xorg.libXft
xorg.libXinerama
];
}
Do you think there’s something to be improved there?
