Make it easier to install npm deps with native code - make is missing
When I try to npm i my project (https://github.com/vicb/flyxc) it would complain about missing make required by lodepng.
It would be great to add the required deps to the image by default
I had to install sudo apt install build-essential

Actually pulled up Gemini for possible hints if you're looking for that: https://g.co/gemini/share/b71994094331 (see also [this Stack Overflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49590552/how-buildenv-builtin-function-works#51085959) about the built-in `buildEnv` function)
tl;dr if you don't want to read the whole Gemini conversation: you might have to manually add the dependencies (e.g. `automake` and `gcc`/`clang`) into your `.idx/dev.nix` config file
