Installation hangs when using pkgs.emacsPgtk

[svenihoney]

I try to install to an unstable NixOS system. Installation works fine with the default emacs-28 package. Since I would like to use the pgtk version due to native wayland support, I added the pgtk package as an option. With it, the installation does stall.

I use the following snippet to install doom-emacs successfully:

{pkgs, ...}: {
  programs.doom-emacs = {
    enable = true;

    doomPrivateDir = ./doom.d;
    # emacsPackage = pkgs.emacsPgtk;
  };
}

As soon as I remove the comment, the installation stalls at the message

[1/0/1 built] building emacs-straight-packages.json (installPhase): [nix-doom-emacs] Inhibiting (kill-emacs)

[Pacman99]

I'm having this issue with the latest pgtk also, I'm using the build here https://hydra.nix-community.org/build/4091521#tabs-details

[FlorianFranzen]

Running into the same issue, even when using emacsUnstable (29.0.90, with pgtk). Breakage happened somewhere between c843e0a9 and ebac6712 on emacs master for me.

So it is probably best to just stay on the currently pinned version.

Same here. @FlorianFranzen how do I pin the emacs version?

[ulysses4ever]

Also, it looks like emacs-overlay was pinned in this project: https://github.com/nix-community/nix-doom-emacs/commit/c283bcf19b64aba8c50d5618cb58457967f6cdb7

[Suyashtnt]

Any updates on the situation? I'm also stuck

A month ago I used to get the inhibiting forever issue, but now I get this:

I am still facing this problem trying to use a recent unstable emacs with pgtk enabled. I used the USR2 signal to force emacs to the following build output:

[nix-doom-emacs] Inhibiting (kill-emacs)

Quit

So there is a good chance the underlying cause, at least in my case, is related to doomemacs/doomemacs#5592

[FlorianFranzen]

Could also just be that the option got renamed and it hangs because of that, i.e. similar to radian-software/straight.el#1059, then again doom should have fixed that a while ago already in doomemacs/doomemacs#7090, but we do not include that fix yet.

[librephoenix]

This probably isn't an elegant fix, but I made a quick patch of nix-straight.el, just putting the aforementioned patch from doomemacs/doomemacs#7090 into the top of it. Rebuilding nix-doom-emacs with that patch works, except strangely, with the cc module from init.el activated, there's a compilation error with irony:

but I don't know if that is relevant here. It seems to work otherwise.

If this is any use to anyone for the time being, I have this patch bundled here which I am using/testing.

Flake input would be: nix-doom-emacs.url = "github:librephoenix/nix-doom-emacs?ref=pgtk-patch";

and I've only tested it so far with the pkgs.emacs29-pgtk package.

[skiletro]

@librephoenix Unsure if this is the right place to put it, but this patch stopped working after a recent update requiring a version argument

[librephoenix]

@skiletro Had that problem a few weeks ago since I'm running unstable.

Since I couldn't figure out how to fix it the "proper" way, I added a nixpkgs patch to my flake here. It essentially undoes 35ccb9d, which requires the version and throws the error. It's a kind of hacky fix, but it seems to work for now.

I can't find the tutorial I used to patch nixpkgs in my flake, but here's my flake and the patch for reference:

• flake.nix
• emacs-no-version-check.patch

The important parts of the flake boil down to:

    # create patched nixpkgs
    nixpkgs-patched = (import nixpkgs { inherit system; }).applyPatches {
      name = "nixpkgs-patched";
      src = nixpkgs;
      patches = [ ./patches/emacs-no-version-check.patch ];
    };

    # configure pkgs
    pkgs = import nixpkgs-patched {
      inherit system;
      config = { allowUnfree = true; };
    };

Hope this helps. Happy hacking!

@librephoenix It looks like the upstream nix-straight.el repo has a fix for the "version" issue.

Combining your changes with the latest version of theirs, I got the build working with pkgs.emacs29 which wasn't working before (it was hanging on the "Inhibiting" message).

Here's the branch on my fork that fixes it: https://github.com/codingkoi/nix-straight.el/tree/codingkoi/apply-librephoenixs-fix (:warning: I not planning to maintain this fork in the long term.)

And you can use it by changing flake inputs similar to the following:

{
  inputs = {
    # ... other inputs
    nix-straight = {
      url = "github:codingkoi/nix-straight.el?ref=codingkoi/apply-librephoenixs-fix";
      flake = false;
    };
    nix-doom-emacs = {
      url = "github:nix-community/nix-doom-emacs";
      inputs = {
        nix-straight.follows = "nix-straight";
        # ... whatever other follows you might want to set like nixpkgs or emacs-overlay
      };
    };
  };
  outputs = {...};
}

I'm not sure if the upstream repo would want to accept your change, since it might be specific to nix-doom-emacs being pinned to an older version of Doom Emacs, but you might consider it, since it was your solution.

[ckiee]

I'll gladly merge the native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list patch if it's submitted as a PR, eventually.

[mrdev023]

Same issue just with

programs.doom-emacs = {
      enable = true;
      doomPrivateDir = ./doom.d;
    };

[danielgomez3]

Still experiencing this issue, hoping there's a fix! Using as a home-manager flake:

doom-emacs = {
   enable = false;
   doomPrivateDir = ./doom.d; 
};
