Today I learned how to build and install a simple C project on Nix(OS).
After some reading on the Internet 📚, I finally understood the basics of building and installing a package from C sources using a Nix expression file (the .nix file in the following examples).
So far, I'm very happy with how things work and can do most of my tasks as on any other Linux distribution. Some tasks, however, require some more reading and thinking.
Today I wanted to jot down a quick how-to on testing an addition to the Perl packages in the Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs).
