+== How to obtain a shell with a cross compiler ==
+Create a file as follows:
+{{file|crossShell.nix|nix|<nowiki>
+with import <nixpkgs> {
+  crossSystem = {
+    config = "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu";
+  };
+};
+mkShell {
+  buildInputs = [ zlib ]; # your dependencies here
+}
+</nowiki>}}
+and then use it to obtain a shell:
+{{commands|nix-shell crossShell.nix}}
+The resulting shell will have <code>$CC</code> etc. set to the right compiler.
