Could you add some options to add common dependencies like the ones for winit or tauri, iced, bevy1, etc.?
It's be great to have a single source of truth for stuff like this that's a hard thing for Nix users and newcomers.
Examples include:
vulkan-loader must be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Vulkan (used in wgpu, and through that GUI libraries) to worklibGL (not libglvnd directly, which breaks Darwin and Android support) must be in buildPackages for OpenGL to work- libxkbcommon, Wayland, and Xorg packages must be in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Winit to work
fontconfig and freetype are often used in GUI libraries
Could this even be automatic by reading Cargo.lock?

Specifying
env.RUSTFLAGS = "-C link-arg=-fuse-ld=lld";through Nix may be a better way than through.cargo/config.tomlso that all contributors without Nix aren't forced into using LLD, and it keeps LLD innativeBuildInputsnear the code that makes Rust use it. Also, (big one): you don't need templates to do this that can go obsolete after applying them!!!! Adding-Zshare-generics=yon nightly? ↩
