I’m trying to compile a project that relies on the xorg.libX11
and libxcbcommon
packages. I’ve added those packages to my devShell, and I can see their paths in NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE
environment variable.
However, the build system I’m using requires the actual paths, not a string to be passed to the compiler. Is there a way to either a) look up the nix store path of the package in a reliable way that doesn’t require hard-coding a store hash, or b) accessing the installed packages via a fixed symlink (kind of like you get with ~/.nix-profile
)?
