From 1ecc97b6bdb27e56d832ca48cdafd3dbb5185a04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2011 16:05:24 +0000 Subject: * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle brackets, e.g. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit import are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown. --- src/nix-env/nix-env.cc | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/nix-env') diff --git a/src/nix-env/nix-env.cc b/src/nix-env/nix-env.cc index 4ea301def077..731f91bba058 100644 --- a/src/nix-env/nix-env.cc +++ b/src/nix-env/nix-env.cc @@ -1253,6 +1253,8 @@ void run(Strings args) else if (parseOptionArg(arg, i, args.end(), globals.state, globals.instSource.autoArgs)) ; + else if (parseSearchPathArg(arg, i, args.end(), globals.state)) + ; else if (arg == "--force-name") // undocumented flag for nix-install-package globals.forceName = needArg(i, args, arg); else if (arg == "--uninstall" || arg == "-e") -- cgit 1.4.1
