toggldesktop missing qt platform plugin xcb

fkarg commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug When starting toggldesktop (after installing it locally), it fails with qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "".

To Reproduce

$ nix-env -iA nixos.toggldesktop
...
$ toggldesktop
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Expected behavior toggldesktop starting.

Additional context

If relevant:

$ exa -lahF .nix-profile/bin/toggldesktop 
Permissions Size User Date Modified Name
lrwxrwxrwx    81 root  1 Jan  1970  .nix-profile/bin/toggldesktop -> /nix/store/kggsh6zsxn78sfzmvyzf8qmylvbwrmw5-toggldesktop-7.4.231/bin/toggldesktop

Attempting to execute it with nix-shell -p toggldesktop does not succeed either, due to a build process failing.

@chpio a workaround is overriding qt5 with qt514

they use cmake instead of qmake so it should be easy to get it working again since the expression no longer needs to be so complicated https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=toggldesktop
