# idea: provide a build environments for your developement of preference
/*
  #### examples of use: ####
  # Add this to your ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix:
  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs : with pkgs; {
      sdlEnv = pkgs.myEnvFun {
          name = "sdl";
  nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgconfig ];
          buildInputs = [ stdenv SDL SDL_image SDL_ttf SDL_gfx cmake SDL_net];
      };
    };
  }

  # Then you can install it by:  
  #  $ nix-env -i env-sdl
  # And you can load it simply calling:  
  #  $ load-env-sdl
  # and this will update your env vars to have 'make' and 'gcc' finding the SDL
  # headers and libs.


  ##### Another example, more complicated but achieving more: #######
  # Make an environment to build nix from source and create ctags (tagfiles can
  # be extracted from TAG_FILES) from every source package. Here would be a
  # full ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix
  {
    packageOverrides = pkgs : with pkgs; with sourceAndTags;
    let complicatedMyEnv = { name, buildInputs ? [], cTags ? [], extraCmds ? ""}:
            pkgs.myEnvFun {
              inherit name;
            buildInputs = buildInputs 
                  ++ map (x : sourceWithTagsDerivation
                    ( (addCTaggingInfo x ).passthru.sourceWithTags ) ) cTags;
            extraCmds = ''
              ${extraCmds}
              HOME=${builtins.getEnv "HOME"}
              . ~/.bashrc
            '';
          };
    in rec {
      # this is the example we will be using
      nixEnv = complicatedMyEnv {
        name = "nix";
        buildInputs = [ libtool stdenv perl curl bzip2 openssl db5 autoconf automake zlib ];
      };
    };
  }

  # Now we should build our newly defined custom environment using this command on a shell, so type:
  #  $ nix-env -i env-nix

  # You can load the environment simply typing a "load-env-${name}" command.
  #  $ load-env-nix
  # The result using that command should be:
  #  env-nix loaded
  and show you a shell with a prefixed prompt.
