I have everything set up using flakes (see my repositories). Maybe you can use that as a basis to build sth without flakes.
Unfortunately I have got very little time at the moment and can't provide support, maybe other nix users on here can.
I was able to get this working, mostly by copying the contents of the flakes into derivations. Though, I'm pretty new to nix, so my style not be the greatest ;)
For pyWM:
{
python3Packages,
fetchgit,
fetchFromGitHub,
pkgs,
...
}:
python3Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
# A released derivation would ask you if you wanted to include xwayland support.
# I wasn't interested in that, so I statically set it to yes. Basically you would modify your buildInputs and mesonFlags to not include it if you didn't want it.
pname = "pywm";
version = "v0.3alpha";
name = "${pname}-${version}";

The module thefuzz is not currently part of nixpkgs, so you need to create a derivation for that:
{ python3Packages, ... }:
with python3Packages;
buildPythonPackage rec {
version = "0.19.0";
pname = "thefuzz";
name = "${pname}-${version}";
propagatedBuildInputs = [
python-Levenshtein
pycodestyle
];
src = fetchPypi {
inherit pname version;
sha256 = "b3Em2y8silQhKwXjp0DkX0KRxJfXXSB1Fyj2Nbt0qj0=";
};
}
And then finally, import those two derivations into your newm derivation:
{
pkgs,
python3Packages,
fetchFromGitHub,
}:
with python3Packages; let
thefuzz = pkgs.callPackage (import ./python-thefuzz.nix) {};
pywm = pkgs.callPackage (import ./pywm.nix) {};
in
buildPythonApplication rec {
pname = "newm";
version = "v0.3alpha";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "jbuchermn";
repo = "newm";
rev = "v0.3alpha";
sha256 = "5mpXPvxfCr7bDdT/zwFAyZUqjgHe5yGK4lE3HuDYJkY=";
};
setuptoolsCheckPhase = "true";
propagatedBuildInputs = with python3Packages;
[
pywm
pycairo

dasbus
thefuzz
setuptools
];
# newm comes with some desktop environment like helpers that you might want it to have on its PATH. I think you would put those here.
# buildInputs = with pkgs; [ brightnessctl ];
# For reasons I don't understand, the desktop file isn't part of my build directory, so I just make it here.
postInstall = ''
mkdir -p $out/share/wayland-sessions/
echo "[Desktop Entry]
Name=newm
Comment=A scrolling Wayland compositor
Exec=$out/bin/start-newm
Type=Application" > $out/share/wayland-sessions/newm.desktop
chmod u+rw $out/share/wayland-sessions/newm.desktop
chmod g+r $out/share/wayland-sessions/newm.desktop
chmod o+r $out/share/wayland-sessions/newm.desktop
'';
}
Then you just call this package and add it to your system packages. You'll also want to add it to your display manager's session packages.
How do I install this in my configuration.nix? In hyprland (my previous wm) there's a guide; https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/wiki/Installation#without-flakes is there such a thing for newm?
