Use vanilla pkg-config to build EFL applications. The EFL library has a set of pkg-config files (*.pc) which uses private requirements. The default pkg-config setup on nixpkgs is patched to disable resolving those requirements. See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4738 for reference. As a consequence each package depending on efl has to explicitly set the search path in order to be able to find the corresponding header files. By using vanilla pkg-config this is not necessary (and this is the expected behaviour for pkg-config), allowing simpler nix expressions.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
