NixOS
Index headers and shared library files
When making new packages, one often runs into compiler or linker errors where some header or library is missing. Currently there is no reliable way of finding the corresponding attribute name if the file names don't match naming conventions in Nixpkgs.
This is relevant for the @NixOS/documentation-team to teach basic skills in using the Nix ecosystem.
One idea is to have a separate tab or a parameter to search for these things. Otherwise one would get tons of results for keywords that are used often.
This issue has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:
