[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,
I'm looking to package the ghostty terminal (https://ghostty.org/docs/install/build) but I ran into an issue with the zig build system pertaining to the dependencies?

I've attached the package definition including the error output below. I would appreciate some pointers here please.

Hi, sadly its not an easy task as you might be expecting it to be.

It vendors a lot of dependencies in the repository and recursive dependency
replacing with zig fetch isn't quite there yet so we have to do some more work,
create a cache and vendor it with --system. I don't know if this is the best
approach since I never touched anything zig, but it seems to be the easiest from
my research.

Fortunately I've already went through the trouble and packaged it on my channel
a couple days ago so you can use it right away :)

Feel free to take a look at my package definition [0] or use my channel [1]. I
plan to upstream it here once holidays are over and I have some free time, whats
left to do is looking at the vendored sources one by one to ensure everything is
free and there are no nasty pre-built stuff inside the sources, and see if any
of it can be made into a proper guix package so we can use it as normal inputs.
Feel free to help with those too if you want to, the more help the merrier :)

Thanks for the package; I can confirm it built successfully for me as well.

So, I took your code and munged it with the version I had been working on. My
new version doesn't actually work :-) but, I posted it on the off chance that
someone would find it interesting.

module that could simply be added as build-inputs:

It does look like it populates the pkgdir successfully (with symlinks into the
store) and starts building but fails:

I took a glance at the package definition in the link you sent, it seems to me
that this error is caused because ghostty vendors [1] various zig custom builds
[2] from the C sources within its own source repository.
What I suspect is happening (again, I didn't try building your
package definition to check, I could be wrong!) with this error is the
'unpack-dependencies phase from zig-build-system runs 'zig fetch' in all the
dependencies and thus replaces all the zig sources in the main 'build.zig.zon',
including the local vendored ones [2], thus you won't get the custom vendored
builds from the local source repository [1].

This is why I replaced [3] the 'unpack-dependencies in the %standard-phases.
This doesn't mean we absolutely cannot use 'unpack-dependencies, infact I am
trying to package it with the 'unpack-dependencies phase, but its proving to be
a bit hard to accomodate it.
The easier option would be to reimplement it and only run 'zig fetch' on the
packages that we want it to replace, but it would be best if we could use the
'unpack-dependency phase from zig-build-system for upstreaming purposes.

I essentially gave up on packaging ghostty for upstreaming, already spent too
much time on this so I'm moving on.
Will continue to update the current working version on my channel, for personal
use.
Here's my WIP guix branch for ghostty if someone wants to give it a shot, in the
hopes that it might be useful for someone:

https://codeberg.org/look/guix/src/branch/wip-ghostty
https://codeberg.org/look/guix/commits/branch/wip-ghostty

Some zig dependencies there already meet the upstreaming requirements.

The ghostty package does not build, getting some strange errors because of
libvaxis, and missing some zig-mach dependencies.

Might experience some version mismatches because I'm initially using the C
packages we already have packaged on guix.

It needs wuffs which is going to be pain :-(.

The 'fix-path phase substitute* does not work, can be removed, was something I
was experimenting with.

The 'hard-disable-macos-dependencies is also an experiment, might not work.

I don't that's the issue in this case. Just now as an experiment, I replaced
unpack-dependencies instead of running after unpack and hit the same error. It
appears to me that since I was defining the module packages with
copy-build-system rather than zig-build-system that was bypassing the zig fetch
magic in unpack-dependencies (there are no zig fetch appearing in the log). As
another experiment, I used zig-build-system instead of copy-build-system for the
module packages and it did do the zig fetch magic in that case (zig fetch was
visible in the log) (and then failed in a different way).

Yesterday, I started from scratch with each zig module dependency defined as a
package using zig-build-system (modeled after libxkcb in zig-xyz) and letting
the default unpack-dependencies do the zig fetch magic. It got past the point of
trying to download dependencies and then died while building:

I think this is caused by unpack-dependencies; it's overwriting the top-level
dependency "freetype" (build.zig.zon -> pkg/freetype) with low-level dependency
"freetype" (pkg/freetype/build.zig.zon -> upstream source).

I'm not sure if rewriting rewriting the build.zig.zon files is better than
running in system mode with a populated pkgdir.

I don't know how I fixed it :-), but it builds now (symlinking pkgdir):

$ guix gc -D /gnu/store/*-zig-*
$ guix gc -D /gnu/store/*-ghostty-*
$ curl -LO https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/4792310/raw/main/terminals.scm

Updated to ghostty 1.1.2:
https://gitlab.com/fjc/guix/-/commit/063ad76f142dffdf662fc73daf3fc87dcd04f151

Major difference is building zig-gobject from source and generating the
bindings as part of that package rather than downloading the github
release tarball (which would have been much easier but much less
educational).

Most people would still be better off using the saayix channel rather
than anything here though.  :-)
