[Need Help] Build process #126

Closed SebTM closed 3 years ago

SebTM commented 3 years ago

Hey, thanks for the theme and your awesome work 👍🏻

I'm trying to update the Nixpkgs package for the latest release and the new (?) Meson build-workflow. Two problems still open, the theme is already building but I'm not sure if these points are important/as you would like:

Tried to make font-config available during build and while researching about it I found an environment-variable (FONTCONFIG_PATH) which could help but while build-time the file the variable would point to wouldn't be availible.

Please add the following information:

While I think ninja is running I get 440-times this error for each element: [1/440] Generating gtk2-light-arrow-left-prelight with a custom commandand Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file Exporting only object with id="arrow-left-prelight"; all other objects hidden. Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00

The messages are coming from inkscape, and as long as the build doesn't fail, everything should be ok.

Lastly there was an install-command (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/data/themes/arc/default.nix#L53) in post-install making docs and copying AUTHORS to share/docs. As I found out in postBuild as well as postInstall no Markdown-files as well as AUTHORS are present. Are they cleaned from Meson?

The AUTHORS and the *.md files are still present in the source, but not in the meson build directory (where your ls output is from). Same goes for any other file that isn't generated in some way during the build process.

Thank you for the fast response, I will try out something more for the doc thing - as I use the postInstall-hook from NixOS (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/data/themes/arc/default.nix#L53) there is only the build result (from what I saw) available.

Thanks for your support, got it fixed and will PR to nixpkgs 👍🏻
