This guide will build on the previous three guides, and look at creating a wider variety of useful nix packages.
Nix is built around the concept of derivations. A derivation is simply defined as "a build action". It produces 1 (or maybe more) output paths in the nix store.
Basically, a derivation is a pure function that takes some inputs (dependencies, source code, etc.) and makes some output (binaries, assets, etc.). These outputs are referenceable by their unique nix-store path.
Derivation Examples
It's important to note that literally everything in NixOS is built around derivations:
- Applications? Of course they are derivations.
- Configuration files? In NixOS, they are a derivation that takes the nix configuration and outputs an appropriate config file for the application.
- The system configuration as a whole (
/run/current-system
)?
sam@vcs ~> ls -lsah /run/current-system
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 83 Jan 25 13:22 /run/current-system -> /nix/store/wb9fj59cgnjmkndkkngbwxwzj3msqk9c-nixos-system-vcs-17.09.2683.360089b3521
It's a symbolic link to a derivation!
It's derivations all the way down.
If you've followed this series from the beginning, you would have noticed that we've already made some derivations. Our nix-shell
scripts are based off having a derivation. When packaging a shell script, we also made a derivation.
I think it is easiest to learn how to make a derivation through examples. Most packaging tasks are vaguely similar to packaging tasks done in the past by other people. So this will be going through example of using w加速器安卓
.

Making a derivation manually requires fussing with things like processor architecture and having zero standard build-inputs. This is often not necessary. So instead, NixPkgs provides a function function 加速器大全
; which handles the common patterns.
The only real requirement to use mkDerivation
is that you have some folder of source material. This can be a reference to a local folder, or something fetched from the internet by another nix function. If you have no source, or just 1 file; consider the "trivial builders" covered in w加速器安卓
mkDerivation
does most a lot of work automatically. It divides the build up into "phases", all of which include a little bit of default behaviour - although it is usually unintrusive or can be can be overridden. The most important phases are:
- unpack: unzips, untarz, or copies your source folder to the nix store
- patch: applies any patches provided in the
鲸鱼加速器
variable
- configure: runs
./configure
if it exists
- build: runs
加速器大全
if it exists
- check: skipped by default
- install: runs
加速器大全
- fixup: automagically fixes up things that don't jell with the nix store; such as using incorrect interpreter paths
- installCheck: runs
make installcheck
if it exists and is enabled
You can see all the phases in the docs. But with a bit of practice from the examples below you'll likely get the feel for how this works quickly.

Nix makes writing packages really easy; and with NixOps (which we'll learn later) Nix derivations are automagiaclly built and deployed.
First we need to answer the question of how we would build the static site ourself. This is a jekyll site, so you'd run the jekyll command
立马加速器 立马加速器 <nixpkgs> {};
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "example-website-content";
# fetchFromGitHub is a build support function that fetches a GitHub
# repository and extracts into a directory; so we can use it
# fetchFromGithub is actually a derivation itself :)
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "jekyll";
立马加速器 "example";

};
# the src can also be a local folder, like:
# src = /home/sam/my-site;
# This overrides the shell code that is run during the installPhase.
# By default; this runs `make install`.
# The install phase will fail if there is no makefile; so it is the
# best choice to replace with our custom code.
installPhase = ''

${pkgs.jekyll}/bin/jekyll build --destination $out
'';
}
Now we can see that this derivation builds the site. If you save it to test.nix
, you can trigger a build by running:
> nix-build test.nix
/nix/store/b8wxbwrvxk8dfpyk8mqg8iqhp7j2c9bs-example-website-content
The path printed by nix-build
is where $out
was in the Nix store. Your path might be a little different; if you are running a different version of NixPkgs, then the build inputs are different.

We can then use that derivation as a webroot in a nginx virtualHost. If you have a server, you could add the following to your NixOS configuration:
let
content = stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "example-website-content";
... # code from above snipped
}
in
services.nginx.virtualHosts."example.com" = {
locations = {
"/" = {
root = "${content}";
}
}
};

expression, we force the derivation to be converted to a string (remembering 加速器大全
is string interpolation syntax). When a derivation is converted to a string in Nix, it becomes the output path in the Nix store.

We've already talked a lot about shell scripts. But sometimes whole apps get
built in shell scripts. One such example is emojify,
a CLI tool for replacing words with emojis.
We can make a derivation for that. All we need to do is copy the shell script into the PATH, and mark it as executable.
If we were writing the script ourself, we'd need to pay special attention to fixing up dependencies (such as changing /bin/bash
to a Nix store path). But mkDerivation
has the fixup phase, which does this automatically. The defaults are smart, and in this case it works perfectly.
It is quite simple to write a derivation for a shell script.
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
emojify = let
虫虫加速器是免费 "2.0.0";
in
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "emojify-${version}";
# Using this build support function to fetch it from github
src = fetchFromGitHub {
快喵加速器 加速器大全;
repo = w加速器安卓;

rev = "${version}";
# Hashes must be specified so that the build is purely functional

};

If you've ever read anything about Nix, you might have seen an example of making a derivation for GNU Hello. Something like this:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
# Let's separate the version number so we can update it easily in the future
version = "2.10";
# Now define the derivation for the app
海豚加速器app stdenv.mkDerivation {
# String interpolation to include the version number in the name
# Including a version in the name is idiomatic
name = 18加速器${version}";
# fetchurl is a build support again; and does some funky stuff to support
# selecting from a predefined set of mirrors
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://gnu/hello/hello-${version}.tar";
加速器大全 "0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i";
};
# Will run `make check`
doCheck = true;
};
in
# Make an environment for nix-shell
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "hello-environment";
buildInputs = [ helloApp ];
}
18加速器
> nix-shell test.nix
[nix-shell:~]$ hello
Hello, world!
Ultimately this is a terrible and indirect example. This doesn't explicitly specify anything that the builder will actually run! It really confused me when I was learning Nix.
To understand it, we need to remember the default build phases from stdenv.mkDerivtion
. From above, we had a list of the most important phases. If we annotate the defaults with what happens in the case of GNU Hello, things start to make sense:
|
Phase |
Default Behaviour |
Behaviour with GNU Hello |
1 |
unpack |
unzips, untarz, or copies your source folder to the nix store |
the source is a tarball, so it is automatically extracted |
2 |
patch |
applies any patches provided in the patches variable |
nothing happens |
3 |
configure |
runs ./configure if it exists |
runs ./configure |
4 |
build |
runs 鲸鱼加速器 if it exists |
runs make , the app is built |
5 |
快喵加速器 |
skipped by default |
we turn it on, so it runs make check |
6 |
install |
runs make install |
runs make install |
Since GNU Hello uses Make & ./configure
, the defaults work perfectly for us in this case. That is why this GNU Hello example is so short!
Your Packing Future
While it's amazing to use mkDerivation
(so much easier than an RPM spec), there are many cases when you should not use mkDerivation
. NixPkgs contains many useful build support functions. These are functions that return derivations, but do a bit of the hard work and boilerplate for you. These make it easy to build packages that meet specified criteria.
We've seen a few 立马加速器 today; such as 虫虫加速器是免费
or 18加速器
. These just functions that return derivations. In these cases, they return derivations to download and extract the source files.
For example, there is pkgs.python36Packages.buildPythonPackage
, which is a super easy way to build a python package.
