It’s this, right?
I’d look for something in simple nixpkgs that uses curses and cmake, and base a new nix derivation on that.
You can also just bring in the dependencies to a nix shell and build it normally according to the readme.
I’ll try to give you some examples next time I’m at my dev machine.
You can grab the kernel source and run make localmodconfig to generate a kernel config based on the currently loaded modules.
Then in nixos you can override the kernel config with that one (sorry, I can’t get the exact instructions right now).
You’ll need to make manual config changes for anything you might need to load dynamically.
I find it very easy to bisect and fix problems in nixpkgs, and it seems like a good way to contribute. I can do upgrades whenever I feel like it, and it’s trivial to roll back, so it’s never blocking me when I need to get other work done.
Is there a good way to do this on mobile Firefox? You can hold and open in a tab, but that takes a hold plus a click, and then another click to switch to the tab.
Well I’m only just trying to move to flakes now. I’ve had this process in place for years.
I do have some packages in overlay form, but the nixpks changes are things that should be upstreamed at some point. They mostly either have open PRs or aren’t cleaned up enough to PR.

That’s the actual branch where I merge in my changes.
Here’s a random example of a change:
https://github.com/corngood/nixpkgs/commit/fc12baf28104d63fc163e9afe2aea24409522729
I find it much easier to maintain something like that as a patch, rather than an overlay (if that’s even possible).
I use a fork (with some stuff I haven’t cleaned up enough to PR) that I rebase on master whenever I decide to upgrade, because I like maximum pain.
Although honestly it’s still really stable. When something breaks, it’s usually easy to bisect and fix.
I was just thinking about this the other day when I was bisecting something and almost every individual commit had packages in the cache.
I feel like I need to go set up a donation…
