wlroots fails to build

[NotAShelf]

I initially thought this was an issue with nixpkgs, however, upon removing nixpkgs-wayland from my inputs and removing the overlay the build failure has been resolved.

The issue is mostly documented here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/226328

The key here seems to be using the overlay.

Hi @NotAShelf, the CI for this repository ensures that our updated wlroots/ builds against nixos-unstable. You might be having an issue that gamescope requires an OLDER version of wlroots than this overlay provides.

I have stopped using this repo as an overlay, partially due to this. I also once had a patch for gamescope to force it to use a versioned wlroots, but I sort of "gave up" on Linux gaming for now, so I lost track of it. Someone else was working on getting newer gamescope building, not sure if you already found them and tagged them.

One approach might be to add gamescope here, too, and keep it updated, but it was a moving target and I don't have time to maintain something else that requires that much time/attention.

To elaborate a bit, I still use this repository, but I manually pull in whatever packages I need. In particular:

https://github.com/colemickens/nixcfg/blob/cdd7e712c27d2eef989e9d62a08417d605de9dfc/profiles/gui-sway.nix#L108-L113

So, I guess I do still use an overlay (though I could set the sway package, and then probably just overlay the wlr portal...)

[NotAShelf]

Hmm. So I would need to remove the overlay and pull gamescope frok the pkgset in order to resolve the issue.

if you're using flakes you can just use gamescope directly from the nixpkgs flake so it's unaffected by the overlay

[colemickens]

I think CI is actually not working correctly.

I'm seeing wlroots failure too, the latest version requires wayland newer than is in nixos-unstable right now.

[colemickens]

I've force pushed and rolled some updates back, disabled actions for now, fixed up waybar, the packages are all building again. Sorry about this, I'll try to look at the CI soon.

[Artturin]

ah nvm we're not using that and we're already using nix-eval-jobs https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland/blob/45e2d3ed33b69ec69d3cc010ee30d2672f8e5fd2/main.nu#L99-L113

Pushed fix https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland/commit/bfbbb428e41dc209f0c6bb6b7ae625298aa74d93 and re-enabled actions EDIT interpolation fix https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland/commit/36b3b400298c594f867f260b456f983ceab75784

[Artturin]

The issue has been fixed, now we just need to wait for newer wayland https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland/issues/404
