<title>Debugging Build Failures</title>
<para>At the beginning of each phase of the build (such as unpacking,
building or installing), the set of all shell variables is written to
the file <filename>env-vars</filename> at the top-level build
directory. This is useful for debugging: it allows you to recreate
the environment in which a build was performed. For instance, if a
build fails, then assuming you used the <option>-K</option> flag, you
can go to the output directory and <quote>switch</quote> to the
environment of the builder:
<screen>
$ nix-build -K ./foo.nix
... fails, keeping build directory `/tmp/nix-1234-0'
$ cd /tmp/nix-1234-0
$ source env-vars
<lineannotation>(edit some files...)</lineannotation>
$ make
<lineannotation>(execution continues with the same GCC, make, etc.)</lineannotation></screen>
</para>
