Motivation for this change
When compiling
-sys
crates, some dependent libraries will be found usingpkg-config
and get linked. Since ourpkg-config
use setup-hook to locate pkgs, that means we need to compile always innix-shell -p pkg-config <other-deps>
. Installing these packages globally does not work.This PR introduces a helper function providing a customized
rustup
wrapper to make some often-used developing packages available for compiling, without the requirement ofnix-shell
every time.Usage:
nix-env -iE 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; rustup-with-dev { devPkgs = [ openssl.dev ]; }'
cargo build some_crate_using_openssl_sys # Feel free
