There is also this function which may be necessary for certain software: https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-fhs-environments
You can compile some software manually in place using, for example, `nix-shell -p libssh2 -p zlib` without having to write a derivation. However, without writing a derivation, it may cease to function after a garbage collection or an upgrade.
