installing .net core sdk 2.0 on NixOs (can't find templates)

#Resume I am currently trying to install dot-net-core-sdk 2.0 with the Nix package manager in NixOs. I am very new to both NixOs, Nix, bash scripting and stuff like ELF. Yet I think I've successfully managed to create a valid Nix package description for dot-net-core-sdk 2.0. However, when I try to create a new console project it complains that it can't find the console template: No templates matched the input template name: console. #The long story... I have defined my Nix package and build script as follows: **dotnet-sdk.nix** with import {}; stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "dotnet-sdk-2.0"; builder = ./builder.sh; libPath = stdenv.lib.makeLibraryPath [ lttng-tools kerberos zlib gettext openssl icu libunwind eject stdenv.cc.cc glib ]; src = fetchurl { url = "https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/B/4/1B4DE605-8378-47A5-B01B-2C79D6C55519/dotnet-sdk-2.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz "; sha256 = "6059a6f72fb7aa6205ef4b52583e9c041fd128e768870a0fc4a33ed84c98ca6b"; }; } **builder.sh** source $stdenv/setup mkdir -p $out/dotnet-sdk echo "unpacking $src..." tar xvfa $src -C $out/dotnet-sdk echo "unpacking dotnet-sdk..." p=$out/libexec/dotnet mkdir -p $out/libexec mv $out/dotnet-sdk $p ls -lrth $p patchelf --interpreter "$(cat $NIX_CC/nix-support/dynamic-linker)" --force-rpath --set-rpath $libPath --debug $p/dotnet echo "libPath" echo $libPath mkdir -p $out/bin ln -s $p/dotnet $out/bin/dotnet I can successfully build the package with $ sudo nix-build dotnet-sdk.nix Which results in a long output that ends with ... unpacking dotnet-sdk... total 136K -rw-r--r-- 1 nixbld1 nixbld 8.0K Jul 20 23:06 ThirdPartyNotices.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 nixbld1 nixbld 1.1K Jul 20 23:06 LICENSE.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 nixbld1 nixbld 104K Jul 20 23:16 dotnet drwxr-xr-x 3 nixbld1 nixbld 4.0K Aug 3 19:34 store drwxr-xr-x 3 nixbld1 nixbld 4.0K Aug 3 19:34 shared drwxr-xr-x 3 nixbld1 nixbld 4.0K Aug 3 19:34 sdk drwxr-xr-x 3 nixbld1 nixbld 4.0K Aug 3 19:34 host drwxr-xr-x 4 nixbld1 nixbld 4.0K Aug 3 19:34 additionalDeps patching ELF file `/nix/store/f1sankahbj7pss7vjrvbmng9z7gd08a6-dotnet-sdk-2.0/libexec/dotnet/dotnet' Kernel page size is 4096 bytes new rpath is `/nix/store/xdv40bsxp4c7m2nw63nrnkadmivczk24-lttng-tools-2.9.3/lib:/nix/store/b7yiqkykhj3lr7dlb3v81rsdasjg32jw-libkrb5-1.15/lib:/nix/store/sg6ri2jj92sbv7f4rvchzr00d24pi4nq-zlib-1.2.11/lib:/nix/store/s70cbg1lh45h3gl6xplz6bi2qdszi2cf-gettext-0.19.8/lib:/nix/store/b6d4mxvj5wdnf28lpww73pllmm0zd2nv-openssl-1.0.2l/lib:/nix/store/03gqmzrbh1pr5izy24gmyw1bfdzpy6q8-icu4c-58.2/lib:/nix/store/f4xflmvgszhrwa1r1jn5fddz8j196qzv-libunwind-1.1/lib:/nix/store/awxn3kfww8hjnd1pyji4zdmmi2x3kvzb-util-linux-2.29.2/lib:/nix/store/lc9cdddv2xv45ighz8znsanjfgkcdgbx-gcc-5.4.0-lib/lib:/nix/store/75pmwxf02m6i4vd3b0iybc3w54xf4r2z-glib-2.50.3/lib' rpath is too long, resizing...

Templates Short Name Language Tags ------------------------------------------------- I have no idea why it can't find the templates, but I have a weak hypothesis that maybe I screwed something up in the binary by using --force-rpath when I modify the binary with patchelf in the buildscript.. - **Does my package configuration and buildscript look okay?** *(eg. is the problem unrelated to my Nix package description and buildscript)* - **Is there something obvious I am missing, such as somehow providing a link to some of the auxiliary net core directories when modifying the binary with patchelf?** - **Something else I can do to make net core sdk 2.0 work in NixOs?**
