Guix

[madorian]

Support for Guix would be nice;)

[manateelazycat]

I don't use Guix.

[madorian]

How about NixOS?;)

If Guix have PyQt6, EAF will works too.

Please contact Guix developer port PyQt6.

EAF developer nothing can do this, sorry. ;)

[madorian]

Those instructions for NixOs doesn't declare PyQt6.

Do you have instructions for NixOs that includes PyQt6?

[tylerwolf35]

Shouldn't it be possible to allow installation on Guix by installing PyQt through pip?

I got EAF running on Guix today and wanted to share my setup for postarity. I had to run ldd against like every executable in ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages This isn't really enough to "package" it for Guix of course, we'd have to package each Node package to do it "the right way" -- but it's a start, and I think most folks are just happy to see it run. It's also gotten pretty late so I'm going keep the commentary light; I think anyone reading this will understand :p

Just note that I use a custom use-package keyword (:guix) to pull in guix packages. That script is available elsewhere, but off-topic / beyond the scope of this issue. They just get stripped from the elisp and "tangled" out into a command like this:

guix shell --pure --container --network                                \
  emacs emacs-use-package emacs-dash alsa-lib at-spi2-core bzip2 cairo \
  cups dbus gcc-toolchain gdk-pixbuf glib gst-plugins-base gstreamer   \
  gtk+ jq libxcomposite libxkbcommon libxkbfile libxrandr libxrender   \
  libxtst mesa mit-krb5 mysql node nss pango patchelf pcsc-lite        \
  postgresql pulseaudio python speech-dispatcher unixodbc wmctrl       \
  xcb-util-cursor xcb-util-image xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-wm xdotool  \
  python-psutil python-pygments python-qtconsole                       \
  -- emacs

Edit: Works on wayland too, but it could just be running under xwayland idk - definitely didn't list the wayland libraries for it >u<
