Feature/Bug - Nix flake fails to build from source - meson.build not found (NixOS) #195

Closed matleborgne closed 1 year ago

matleborgne commented 1 year ago

Current situation - "bug"

Available "build" are :

flatpak / snap
build from source with meson + ninja

However, the "building from source" by a Nix flake fails at meson step, with the following message : ERROR: Neither directory contains a build file meson.build.

Feature

Many git repos provide a flake file (flake.nix) to let NixOS / Nix users to build from source directly. It's quite simple as it does not require much work when configured the first time.

Issue closed. I will suggest nix flake feature
