pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation

This function creates a derivation, and returns it in the form of a package attribute set that refers to the derivation's outputs.

mkDerivation takes many argument attributes, most of which affect the derivation environment, but meta and passthru only directly affect package attributes.

The mkDerivation argument attributes can be made to refer to one another by passing a function to mkDerivation. See Fixed-point argument of mkDerivation.
