How to use
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install a Windows image
|
||||||
|
-----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Adjust demo-image.nix accordingly
|
||||||
|
2. Run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If in impure mode
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
nix-build demo-image.nix
|
||||||
|
./result
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Results in a file called c.img
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If in pure mode
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
nix-build demo-image.nix
|
||||||
|
ls -la ./result
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Results in a symlink to the image in the nix store
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Impure/pure mode
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sometimes it can be useful to build the image _outside_ of the Nix sandbox for debugging purposes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this purpose we have an attribute called `impureMode` which outputs the shell script used by Nix inside the sandbox to build the image.
