(I'm opening this MR mostly as a discussion, and although I'd like to see some of these changes pulled upstream, it is in no way blocking anyone from working with the current project as it is. No pressure)
Adding two files:
shell.nix
provides a shell environment for development. In the projectdirectory, entering the development shell by invoking
nix-shell
will pullall required dependencies to build the project (based on the latest stable
release).
default.nix
provides a package description of the latest stable release ofthe project. This allows people to quickly install m8c on their machine, by
referencing the github project.
Added some documentation on how to use nix to automatically pull
dependencies, or quickly install m8c locally.
