cannot build Haskell programs that depend on gtk+3 statically #50
Comments
I'm not super familiar with cross-compiling support in nixpkgs, and I don't really know the relationship between $ nix-build ./nixpkgs -A pkgsMusl.systemd

... Neither of these worked. All the dependencies for |
Oh, hmm, I found NixOS/nixpkgs#61580, which makes it sound like |
I made some progress with this. I was able to get everything building except for one system dependency, VTE: $ nix-build build-termonad.nix

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
{ nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.
b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
{ allowBroken = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

Thanks for the detailed writeup! I also want to try building static GUI applications soon, so I'm very grateful for this.

Awesome, very appreciated! |
This was made possible by making systemd dependencies optional in recent nixpkgs `master`, initiated by #50 (comment) with some follow-ups by me at NixCon.

@cdepillabout There is another obstacle we have to take on: When moving from autotools to Meson, gtk3 lost the ability to build static libraries: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2248 CC @flokli |
My PR to fix it for gtk4 got merged: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/merge_requests/1172#note_648846 Now we should probably backport it to gtk3 upstream. |
I've done it in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/merge_requests/1196. |
Merged. |
Another upstream PR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-atk/merge_requests/19 Also very relevant: meson |

@nh2 Great work! I'm really impressed how much work went in to this (including upstreaming all the required fixes)! |
For some more reproducibility, I just checked that this still works, and pushed the following branches:
I also made the demo app way cooler, it now has a button that actually does something to show that it can do more than rendering empty windows: Binaries: https://github.com/nh2/static-haskell-nix/releases/tag/c-static-gtk3-apps-button-example-2020-11-23 |

I'm trying to build a Haskell executable (Termonad) statically that uses gi-gtk, which is built using haskell-gi and depends on
gtk+3
.It appears to be failing when building
systemd
.Termonad depdends on
gi-gtk
, which depends ongtk+3
, which depends onat-spi2-atk
, which depends ondbus
, which depends onsystemd
.I can include the output from the failed
systemd
build if it would help.Alternatively, here is the derivation I am trying to build:
Note the following:
termonad-pkg
is generated usingcabal2nix
. The current version oftermonad
in nixpkgs would probably work too.gi-gtk
andgi-vte
(Haskell dependencies of Termonad) are marked broken, probably because they don't compile with the latest version of GTK+3. I'm not worried about this, since this also occurs when building with dynamic linking. (I'm mostly concerned with getting GTK+3 built statically, so that I can work on creating static builds of Termonad).static-haskell-nix
, which is commit 761f34b.It is possible this should just be an issue on the
nixpkgs
repo. If this is the case, I will move it there.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
