Build / install

cd nixGL
nix-build -A XXX

## Optional (if NVIDIA) Grab your NVIDIA driver version
Using `glxinfo` from your host system, grab the driver version, here `390.25`:
```
$ glxinfo | grep NVIDIA
...
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 390.25
...
```
## Build
For intel:
```
nix-build -A nixGLIntel
```
For NVIDIA alone:
```
nix-build -A nixGLNvidia --argstr nvidiaVersion 390.25
```
(replace `390.25` with the host driver version gathered earlier.)
For Nvidia with bumblebee:
```
nix-build -A nixGLNvidiaBumblebee --argstr nvidiaVersion 390.25
```
(replace `390.25` with the host driver version gathered earlier.)
## Install
```
nix-env -i ./result
```
XXX can be one of:
(Note, you can iterate many time on this process to install as many driver as needed. Common example are `nixGLIntel` with `nixGLNvidiaBumblebee`)
- `nixGLNvidia`: Nvidia driver without bumblebee
- `nixGLNvidiaBumblebee`: Nvidia driver with bumblebee
- `nixGLIntel`: Intel driver

# Limitations
The idea is really simple and should work reliably in most cases. It
can be easily extended to AMD drivers, I just don't have the hardware
to test. Contact me.
*Important*: You need an host system driver which match the nixpkgs one. For example, at the time of this writing, nixpkgs contains nvidia `390.25`. Your host system must contain the same version. This limitation can be lifted by using a different version of nixpkgs:
```shell
export NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz
nix-build -A nixGLNvidia
```
Contact me if this limitation is too important, it may be easy to automate this process.
Does not work now for AMD drivers because I dont' have the hardware.
