  You're welcome! One last tip... If you build this way, it will write everything to /nix/store, but it won't install it into your local profile. However, the 'nix-build' process creates a 'result' symlink in your project directory which points at the package you just built. So Calling 'nix-env -i ./result' ought to install it into your profile as well.

    You can also just call `nix-env -i .` to build and install in one go.

      Ah! thanks for that.

    You can also use an overlay

      Thanks, I've heard the term 'overlay' but I haven't learned quite that much yet. I'll look into this.
