[Nix-dev] Missing library: zlib

2014-03-06 Thread Thomas Bereknyei

Is there a way to make it so that zlib is always in scope using something in the configuration.nix setup? Or should I just call nix-shell every time? On Mar 7, 2014 2:16 AM, "Eelco Dolstra" wrote: > Hi, > > On 06/03/14 18:44, Thomas Bereknyei wrote: > > > I routinely find myself in a situation w
