run pkg_config fail: Could not run `"pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "openssl"`
  The pkg-config command could not be found.

  Most likely, you need to install a pkg-config package for your OS.
  Try `apt install pkg-config`, or `yum install pkg-config`,
  or `pkg install pkg-config`, or `apk add pkgconfig` depending on your distribution.

  If you've already installed it, ensure the pkg-config command is one of the
  directories in the PATH environment variable.

  If you did not expect this build to link to a pre-installed system library,
  then check documentation of the openssl-sys crate for an option to
  build the library from source, or disable features or dependencies
  that require pkg-config.

  Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation, and this `-sys` crate cannot
  proceed without this knowledge. If OpenSSL is installed and this crate had
  trouble finding it,  you can set the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable for the
  compilation process.

  Make sure you also have the development packages of openssl installed.
  For example, `libssl-dev` on Ubuntu or `openssl-devel` on Fedora.

  If you're in a situation where you think the directory *should* be found
  automatically, please open a bug at https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl
  and include information about your system as well as this message.

  $HOST = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  $TARGET = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  openssl-sys = 0.9.87


  It looks like you're compiling on Linux and also targeting Linux. Currently this
  requires the `pkg-config` utility to find OpenSSL but unfortunately `pkg-config`
  could not be found. If you have OpenSSL installed you can likely fix this by
  installing `pkg-config`.

You need to install the missing packages with nix.
Open the nix file and add the lines to installation.

{ pkgs }: 

{
  deps = pkgs.buildEnv { 
    name = "my-env";
    paths = [
      pkgs.pkg-config
      pkgs.openssl
    ];
  };
}
