+# Building with Nix
+
+This project can be built using Nix with crane for Rust projects. The build is designed to work on all supported platforms, including macOS.
+
+## Building the package
+
+To build the `roughly` package using Nix:
+
+```bash
+nix build .#roughly
+```
+
+Or simply:
+
+```bash
+nix build
+```
+
+The built binary will be available in `./result/bin/roughly`.
+
+## Available packages
+
+- `roughly` - The main R language server binary
+- `default` - Alias for the `roughly` package
+
+## Development
+
+The existing development shell is still available:
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+```
+
+This provides all the development tools including Rust toolchain, cargo extensions, and R dependencies.
+
+## Cross-platform support
+
+The build includes platform-specific dependencies:
+
+- **macOS**: Includes Security and SystemConfiguration frameworks, plus libiconv
+- **Linux**: Standard build dependencies
+- **Windows**: Cross-compilation support via the dev shell
+
+## Dependencies
+
+The Nix build includes:
+
+- `tree-sitter` - For parsing R source files
+- Platform-specific frameworks and libraries
+- All Rust dependencies managed by crane
+
+## Crane integration
+
+This project uses [crane](https://github.com/ipetkov/crane) for efficient Rust builds in Nix:
+
+- Dependency caching for faster incremental builds
+- Clean source filtering
+- Proper cross-platform support
+- Integration with the existing rust-overlay setup
