My attempt to bootstrap a build environment in nix.

All the busybox commands get exposed in a derivation called `utils`.
|
|
|
|
|
You can build it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
nix build -f busybox.nix utils
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output of the derivation can be used as part of a `PATH` in a shell like it is done in `shellDerivation`.
