nyxt: fix darwin build #126082

midchildan · 2021-06-07T15:07:43Z

Motivation for this change

Continuation of #125113.

Fix the Darwin build
Use the GI-GTK backend as recommended by @jmercouris
Ran nixpkgs-fmt

Keyboard input is still not working, but it turned out to be an issue with WebKitGTK so I'm preparing a separate issue for it. Currently, all packages using WebKitGTK would have the same issue on Darwin.

-  GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0 = lib.concatMapStringsSep ":" (p: "${p}/lib/gstreamer-1.0") gstBuildInputs;


Setting GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0 is handled by wrapGApps. It suffices to put these in buildInputs.

-    glib gdk-pixbuf cairo
-    mime-types pango gtk3
-    glib-networking gsettings-desktop-schemas
-    xclip notify-osd enchant


xclip in buildInputs doesn't have any effect because it's a CLI tool, not a library. I've added xclip to the wrapper instead.

notify-osd is removed since it's no longer needed. Details in #125113 (comment).

-    done
-
-    mkdir -p $out/bin && makeWrapper $src/bin/nyxt $out/bin/nyxt \


This didn't work because gappsWrapperArgs is computed at preFixup, which happens after installPhase.

-          source "$out/lib/common-lisp-settings"/*-shell-config.sh
-          cd "$out/lib/common-lisp"/*/
-          makeFlags="''${makeFlags:-}"
-          make LISP=common-lisp.sh NYXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP=false PREFIX="$out" $makeFlags all
-          make LISP=common-lisp.sh NYXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP=false PREFIX="$out" $makeFlags install
-          cp nyxt "$out/bin/nyxt"
-        )


This was redundant because it creates a broken build artifact $out/bin/nyxt which promptly gets rebuilt by the subsequent commands.

Replaces the GTK backend with the GI-GTK one.

It's necessary to clear unnecessary environment variables because otherwise it hits the length limit imposed by the OS. This is similar to what is done in lisp-modules/define-package.nix:

I've pushed a few more fixes that does the following:

Add dontStrip = true to nyxt to fix the Linux build. Stripping results in a crash, likely because the resulting binary is already stripped once in lispPackages.nyxt.
Actually run the checkPhase, and make it installCheckPhase because it needs to run after installPhase. I've also disabled it for Darwin because the test would initialize the GTK runtime, which I suspect would fail on Hydra.
Add runHook as suggested by @r-rmcgibbo

mjlbach · 2021-06-07T16:28:43Z

The changes look good to me:

As noted, keyboard input event don't work unless holding down cmd, which may be a webkitgtk issue
It's a bit crash-ey for me, I can't use it more than 5 minutes without a crash, but that's probably an upstream issue
It's still quite laggy

I've now renamed lispPackages.nyxt to lispPackages.nyxt-unwrapped for more clarity and updated the release notes accordingly. This should have minimal effect because most users would have nyxt installed instead.

Also rebased to fix the merge conflict in the release notes.
