Installing frc toolchain on NixOS

Hey CD,

For the last few days I have been trying to get the frc c++ toolchain to install on my NixOS computer. The main issue with this is that nixos has its own package manager and does not support apt-get, aptitude, yum, etc. I tried manually downloading the packages from the launchpad and installing them using dpkg but there was a loop regarding libc and libgcc... Probably because they are supposed to be on the system by default.
I also tried the toolchain-builder bitbucket and after a few fixed 404s it still had no proper makefile for my purposes.

Any help would be much appreciated because I am completely stuck.
Thanks!
