• Description:

  • Update flake inputs with nix flake update and build swayfx-unwrapped with nix build to reproduce error
  • Error also happens when building the swayfx package via home-manager with the overlay applied

  I'm not knowledgeable enough about Nix/Flakes to really know how to fix the issue here

[ProbablyRohan]

Sorry accidentally pressed send EDIT: edited issue it's finished now

[ProbablyRohan]

312 seems to fix the issue, I'll close if it gets merged

[famfo]

This doesn't seem to fully fix the error, for me it just changed wlroots_0_16 to wlroots:

Try cloning the repo and building it with and without updating inputs see if both of them give the same error

[percygt]

For the meantime, I temporarily override swayfx from nixpkgs-unstable with this. It builds just fine on my machine.

inputs.swayfx = {
      url = "github:WillPower3309/swayfx";
      flake = false;
};

swayfx-unwrapped = (pkgs.swayfx-unwrapped.override {wlroots = pkgs.wlroots_0_17;}).overrideAttrs (old: {
      version = "0.4.0-git";
      src = pkgs.lib.cleanSource inputs.swayfx;
      nativeBuildInputs = old.nativeBuildInputs ++ [pkgs.cmake];
      buildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [pkgs.scenefx];
});
swayfx = pkgs.swayfx.override {inherit swayfx-unwrapped;};

[percygt]

I just notice #312 is now merged. I think its okay now to make the flake as input like this.

inputs.swayfx.url = "github:WillPower3309/swayfx";

swayfx-unwrapped = inputs.swayfx.packages.${pkgs.system}.default
swayfx = pkgs.swayfx.override {inherit swayfx-unwrapped;};

[ProbablyRohan]

Yeah #312 fixed the issue for me, I’m not sure what could be causing @famfo error, I will try to reproduce it later today

[famfo]

312 actually introduces the error for me. The latest commit that is building is e45b420ccc888f4d14782f233cf037941a2425db.

Cloning from git and doing nix build and trying to build this from my home-manager config fails with that error.

Minimal (channel based) home-manager config:

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

let
  swayfx = (builtins.getFlake "github:WillPower3309/swayfx/aaa3c7536ee8d7e784106809b748497401f3838b").packages.${pkgs.system}.swayfx-unwrapped;
in
{
  wayland.windowManager.sway = {
    enable = true;
    package = swayfx;
  };
}

[famfo]

Looks like my system has an older commit of nixpkgs-ustable cached and refuses to update it, forcing a newer commit fixes the build again.

[ProbablyRohan]

Is your problem all fixed then? If so I'll close the issue unless anyone else has another related error

[famfo]

Yep, it is fixed after updating the flake.
