​
Build with Flox

Not only can you develop your software with Flox, but you can build it as well. See the builds concept page for more details.

​
Manifest builds

​
Autotools

Since autotools isn’t specific to C, this example will also work for any project using autotools. Since the output of the build must be copied to the $out directory, you must set the install prefix to $out. 
[build.myproject]
command = '''
  ./configure --prefix=$out
  make
  make install
'''

​
CMake

Doing a CMake build looks much the same as autotools. 
[build.myproject]
command = '''
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$out
  make
  make install PREFIX=$out
'''

​
Nix expression builds

To build a project using clang: 
{ clangStdenv }:

clangStdenv.mkDerivation {
  pname = "myproject";
  version = "0.0.1";
  src = ../../.;

  installFlags = [ "PREFIX=$(out)" ];
}
