Hi, all,
I’m enjoying my time with NixOS so far, but I’m having a devil of a time
building a patched version of the dwm window manager. I’ve been able to
successfully apply the dwm+pango patch, by adding the following to
configuration.nix:
nixpkgs.config.dwm = { patches = let pp = pkgs.fetchurl {
url =
"http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dwm-6.0-pango.diff";;
sha256 =
"3bd45a8b4e28258002ffa2f62f5dece7913ef476ea76e2eb6d3d85817ac8cc9e";
};
in
[pp]; };
This applies the patch correctly, but then dwm fails to build; it needs
pkgconfig, libXft, and pango in addition to the dependencies declared in the
dwm/default.nix expression. So I’ve overridden the buildInputs as such:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
# stuff elided ...
(lib.overrideDerivation dwm (attrs: { buildInputs = attrs.buildInputs ++
[xlibs.libXft xlibs.libXinerama pango pkgconfig]; }))
];
OK, this now seems to pull in the required libraries; but now, the build error
is that the pkg_config binary (which gets called in the patched Makefile) can’t
find any of the .pc files. I’m not 100% sure how to proceed here; I was
operating under the assumption that having pkgconfig in the buildInputs would
ensure that the various paths are correctly setup in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Is
there something obvious I’m missing, here?
Thanks in advance!
