clangd broke because it can't look through symlinks. compile_commands manipulation does not fix it, clangd configuration does not fix it, a vfs overlay does not fix it, and while a combination of those can fix it with a bind mount in place that's just too cursed to even consider clangd bug: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/116877 Change-Id: I8e3e8489548eb3a7aa65ac9d12a5ec8abf814aec

Note: this command's interface is based heavily around installables, which you may want to read about first (nix --help).
Examples
-
Build the default package from the flake in the current directory:
# nix build -
Build and run GNU Hello from the
nixpkgsflake:# nix build nixpkgs#hello # ./result/bin/hello Hello, world! -
Build GNU Hello and Cowsay, leaving two result symlinks:
# nix build nixpkgs#hello nixpkgs#cowsay # ls -l result* lrwxrwxrwx 1 … result -> /nix/store/v5sv61sszx301i0x6xysaqzla09nksnd-hello-2.10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 … result-1 -> /nix/store/rkfrm0z6x6jmi7d3gsmma4j53h15mg33-cowsay-3.03+dfsg2 -
Build GNU Hello and print the resulting store path.
# nix build nixpkgs#hello --print-out-paths /nix/store/v5sv61sszx301i0x6xysaqzla09nksnd-hello-2.10 -
Build a specific output:
# nix build nixpkgs#glibc.dev # ls -ld ./result-dev lrwxrwxrwx 1 … ./result-dev -> /nix/store/dkm3gwl0xrx0wrw6zi5x3px3lpgjhlw4-glibc-2.32-dev -
Build attribute
build.x86_64-linuxfrom (non-flake) Nix expressionrelease.nix:# nix build --file release.nix build.x86_64-linux -
Build a NixOS system configuration from a flake, and make a profile point to the result:
# nix build --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system \ ~/my-configurations#nixosConfigurations.machine.config.system.build.toplevel(This is essentially what
nixos-rebuilddoes.) -
Build an expression specified on the command line:
# nix build --impure --expr \ 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { buildInputs = [ hello ]; } "hello > $out"' # cat ./result Hello, world!Note that
--impureis needed because we're using<nixpkgs>, which relies on the$NIX_PATHenvironment variable. -
Fetch a store path from the configured substituters, if it doesn't already exist:
# nix build /nix/store/rkfrm0z6x6jmi7d3gsmma4j53h15mg33-cowsay-3.03+dfsg2
Description
nix build builds the specified installables. Installables that
resolve to derivations are built (or substituted if possible). Store
path installables are substituted.
Unless --no-link is specified, after a successful build, it creates
symlinks to the store paths of the installables. These symlinks have
the prefix ./result by default; this can be overridden using the
--out-link option. Each symlink has a suffix -<N>-<outname>, where
N is the index of the installable (with the left-most installable
having index 0), and outname is the symbolic derivation output name
(e.g. bin, dev or lib). -<N> is omitted if N = 0, and
-<outname> is omitted if outname = out (denoting the default
output).
