Writing Nix expressions for Qt libraries and applications is largely similar as for other C++ software.
|
||||
This section assumes some knowledge of the latter.
|
||||
|
||||
However, Qt makes extensive use of runtime dependency detection.
|
||||
In nixpkgs, those runtime dependencies are made into build dependencies through wrappers.
|
||||
The major caveat with Qt applications is that Qt uses a plugin system to load additional modules at runtime,
|
||||
from a list of well-known locations. In Nixpkgs, we patch QtCore to instead use an environment variable,
|
||||
and wrap Qt applications to set it to the right paths. This effectively makes the runtime dependencies
|
||||
pure and explicit at build-time, at the cost of introducing an extra indirection.
