Help building on Guix

[Erudition]

I'm close to getting sane-break to work on Guix. Since the dependencies are different in Guix, I basically just try to build the source, judge from the errors what deps are missing, and add them to the environment to see if it goes further. Here is what I have so far:

guix shell cmake qtmultimedia libxkbcommon layer-shell-qt vulkan-headers qtbase@6.7.2 qtwayland@6

However I'm getting a weird issue with a missing function that is supposedly in Qt::Widgets, though that module should already be provided in qtbase, and the Cmake List has a requirement check for that module that doesn't fail...

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Can't seem to find a package that fixes it, and there's nothing online on this particular error. What could cause qt_add_ui to be unavailable?

sane-break/CMakeLists.txt

Line 42 in 778782a

qt_add_ui(sane-break SOURCES src/pref-window.ui)

Thank for the detailed report. I forgot to mention in README that currently Qt 6.8 is required. If Qt 6.8 is not available for you, I can try to find a backward-compatible way to build.

[AllanChain]

You can try the latest commit 3ffab99

Ohh so that's what it was...
Yeah, 6.7 is as new as we've got right now.

I'll git pull and try again, thanks

[Erudition]

Yup, that worked! Continuing through the errors, I got it to build with this final list of packages, including optional support stuff:

guix shell --container make cmake gcc-toolchain  libxkbcommon layer-shell-qt vulkan-headers qtbase@6 qtmultimedia qtwayland@6 wayland pkg-config libxscrnsaver libx11

That's run in a pure isolated container, so it's the minimal set of packages. Pretty soon I'll have a complete package recipe for Guix (which works on other distros btw).

[AllanChain]

Thanks for testing with Guix, and I have added instructions in README. Closing this issue as completed.
