For people working on Nix with `nix develop`, it's better to just use `autoreconfPhase` and `configurePhase`, which is standard Nixpkgs / nix shell make from Nixpkgs practice --- it is good to emphasize the degree to which Nix is *just* a regular C++ project which can be worked on in the regular way. (For people running `nix-shell`, the story is similar, except `configurePhase` would use non-writable store paths, which matters for hte times we use output paths before `make install`, so I kept the existing `./configure ...` instruction.) For people building Nix without Nix (e.g. packaging it for another distro) they also don't need `bootstrap.sh`, and can just run `autoreconf -vfi` directly. (More likely, they have their own idioms to do this just as we have `autoreconfPhase`.) |
