add nix dependencies to stack.yaml

[chris-martin]

I needed this to compile on NixOS.

Nice, thanks! Does it still work if you enable the OpenGL flag?

[chris-martin]

Nope!

OpenGL is a problematic thing, I think. To my understanding (and I may be totally wrong there) you need to use the package that's specific to your GPU, so I don't know how this should be handled.

And if I add mesa and mesa_glu to the Nix package list, then I get this result:

Preprocessing library fltkhs-0.5.4.3...

Cool! That last error is possibly a good sign. Try removing the local .stack-work directory, doing a stack clean and then stack build. I would also check that the fltk package from Nix is compiled with --enable-gl.

If that doesn't work try starting over but removing the fltk Nix dependency and doing stack build --flag fltkhs:bundled --flag fltkhs:opengl. This builds and links the bundled FLTK .

fwiw, the nix build file for fltk says it needs opengl, which can't be right

I had to get more aggressive than .stack-work and stack clean by running git clean -dxf, but you're right, it does now seem to build with the opengl flag.

[sboosali]

(by "this" I mean the file in the PR)

also, is mesa_glu necessary? cabal2nix seems to choose only freeglut from the GLU dep, and it builds.

[chris-martin]

(I have no idea, I'm at an "adding stuff until it seems to work" knowledge level here)

[sboosali]

(same lol)

also, we want the flag:

flags:
  fltkhs:
    opengl: true

but idk if stack flags work with the local/current project (they should).

[sboosali]

i.e. can you test this?

# stack-opengl.yaml

resolver: lts-8.13

packages:
- '.'

flags:
  fltkhs:
    opengl: true

nix:
  packages:
    # setup
    - autoconf
    - c2hs 
    # build
    - fltk
    - libjpeg
    # opengl
    - mesa
    - freeglut

[chris-martin]

error: undefined variable ‘c2hs’ at (string):1:52

[sboosali]

oh, should be qualified:

haskellPackages.c2hs

[chris-martin]

Yep, seems to work.
