HOST_PATH contains the path of the host package. This will include the packages listed in buildInputs & depsHostHost. Use this to find runtime commands that the host needs. For instance to find the runtime version of perl, $ PATH="$HOST_PATH" command -v perl /nix/store/...-perl-5.28.0-aarch64-unknown-linux-android/bin/perl This path should not be executed directly (it will break for cross compilation). Only use it to find the location of executables that will be run by your host system. Your build tools will, as always, be available on the default PATH. |

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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
