## Building And Developing
-### Building Nix
-
-You can build Nix using one of the targets provided by [release.nix](./release.nix):
-
-```
-$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.aarch64-linux
-$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.x86_64-darwin
-$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.i686-linux
-$ nix-build ./release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux
-```
-
-### Development Environment
-
-You can use the provided `shell.nix` to get a working development environment:
-
-```
-$ nix-shell
-$ ./bootstrap.sh
-$ ./configure
-$ make
-```
+See our [Hacking guide](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/build.x86_64-linux/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual#chap-hacking) in our manual for instruction on how to
+build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.

-Builder Syntax
-
-Build script for GNU Hello
-(builder.sh)
-
-source $stdenv/setup
-
-PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH
-
-tar xvfz $src
-cd hello-*
-./configure --prefix=$out
-make
-make install
-
-
- shows the builder referenced
-from Hello's Nix expression (stored in
-pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-1/builder.sh).
-The builder can actually be made a lot shorter by using the
-generic builder functions provided by
-stdenv, but here we write out the build steps to
-elucidate what a builder does. It performs the following
-steps:
-
-
-
-
-
- When Nix runs a builder, it initially completely clears the
- environment (except for the attributes declared in the
- derivation). For instance, the PATH variable is
- emptyActually, it's initialised to
- /path-not-set to prevent Bash from setting it
- to a default value.. This is done to prevent
- undeclared inputs from being used in the build process. If for
- example the PATH contained
- /usr/bin, then you might accidentally use
- /usr/bin/gcc.
-
- So the first step is to set up the environment. This is
- done by calling the setup script of the
- standard environment. The environment variable
- stdenv points to the location of the standard
- environment being used. (It wasn't specified explicitly as an
- attribute in , but
- mkDerivation adds it automatically.)
-
-
-
-
-
- Since Hello needs Perl, we have to make sure that Perl is in
- the PATH. The perl environment
- variable points to the location of the Perl package (since it
- was passed in as an attribute to the derivation), so
- $perl/bin is the
- directory containing the Perl interpreter.
-
-
-
-
-
- Now we have to unpack the sources. The
- src attribute was bound to the result of
- fetching the Hello source tarball from the network, so the
- src environment variable points to the location in
- the Nix store to which the tarball was downloaded. After
- unpacking, we cd to the resulting source
- directory.
-
- The whole build is performed in a temporary directory
- created in /tmp, by the way. This directory is
- removed after the builder finishes, so there is no need to clean
- up the sources afterwards. Also, the temporary directory is
- always newly created, so you don't have to worry about files from
- previous builds interfering with the current build.
-
-
-
-
-
- GNU Hello is a typical Autoconf-based package, so we first
- have to run its configure script. In Nix
- every package is stored in a separate location in the Nix store,
- for instance
- /nix/store/9a54ba97fb71b65fda531012d0443ce2-hello-2.1.1.
- Nix computes this path by cryptographically hashing all attributes
- of the derivation. The path is passed to the builder through the
- out environment variable. So here we give
- configure the parameter
- --prefix=$out to cause Hello to be installed in
- the expected location.
-
-
-
-
-
- Finally we build Hello (make) and install
- it into the location specified by out
- (make install).
-
-
-
-
-
-If you are wondering about the absence of error checking on the
-result of various commands called in the builder: this is because the
-shell script is evaluated with Bash's option,
-which causes the script to be aborted if any command fails without an
-error check.
