Hello,
I try to build a static rust binary using pkgsStatic. This works when using nix build but not when trying the same with nix develop -i --command bash -c "cargo build" due to the linker cc not found.
It is not clear to me if passing stdenv = pkgs.pkgsStatic.stdenv to mkShell is the right thing to do. I also don’t know what is the difference between pkgsStatic and pkgsMusl.
Does someone has a hint what I am missing? Goal is that the same environment used to build the package with nix build is available in the development shell to run cargo build.
Thank you.
