<para>This chapter shows you how to write Nix expressions, which
|
|
|
|
|
instruct Nix how to build packages. It starts with a
|
|
|
|
|
simple example (a Nix expression for GNU Hello), and then moves
|
|
|
|
|
on to a more in-depth look at the Nix expression language.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<note><para>This chapter is mostly about the Nix expression language.
