Peek potentially missing some dependencies

garry-cairns commented 6 years ago

Issue description

Installing the peek screen recorder on 18.03 results in a peek installation that doesn't work properly. When recording to a gif, the gif created is not a valid gif and can't be opened as a gif.

Steps to reproduce

Install nix-env -i peek on a clean 18.03 NixOS and try to record a gif. It will not be a valid gif.

Technical details

system: "x86_64-linux"
host os: Linux 4.14.34, NixOS, 18.03.132021.c0c5571ec1a (Impala)
multi-user?: yes
sandbox: no
version: nix-env (Nix) 2.0
channels(Garry): "nixos-18.03-18.03.131954.2569e482904"
channels(root): "nixos-18.03, unstable"
nixpkgs: /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs

Potential fix

I was able to get peek working from a nix-shell with the following default.nix:

{ }:

let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "peek_screen_recorder";
    src = ./.;
    buildInputs = [
    pkgs.ffmpeg
    pkgs.glib
    pkgs.gst_all_1.gst-plugins-good
    pkgs.gst_all_1.gst-plugins-ugly
    pkgs.keybinder
    pkgs.peek
    ];
}

Works for me fine on 18.09.2203.9bd45dddf81 (Jellyfish).
