Using haskellPacakges.shellFor directly forced us to use nix-shell which exports too many environment variables. These environment variables cause a lot of problems, specially for people not using NixOS. This change reads buildInputs and nativeBuildInputs for the derivation produced by haskellPacakges.shellFor and adds it to paths of pkgs.buildEnv. To allow cabal to find C dependencies, we also have to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

@pcapriotti @battermann in case this works for both of you, please merge the PR. If not, let's look at it on Monday. |
Warnings went away, but the problem with signed commits remains. However, the latter does not speak against merging. |
