I’ve been trying to build a package for this KDE theme (SDDM, KWin, Plasma, Kvantum, and a few more components) by following this install guide (for personal use). I’m having trouble with the compilation of the components (using either CMake or alternatively Ninja), and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong—I also can’t find any similar packages in Nixpkgs or documentation about this that would be helpful as a reference.
Here is what I have so far:
{
lib,
stdenv,
fetchFromGitLab,
cmake,
extra-cmake-modules,
ninja,
kdePackages,
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
pname = "aerothemeplasma";
version = "1.0.0"; # TODO: add actual version
src = fetchFromGitLab {
domain = "gitgud.io";
owner = "wackyideas";
repo = pname;
rev = "11fd4c740957accd2c81b3f8089997a59c004b3f";
sha256 = "sha256-cRpQVpXQTg3lDIvDuAAkOUiM6GgGLxqSEf9OI6We9Qg=";
};
nativeBuildInputs = [
cmake
extra-cmake-modules
ninja
kdePackages.wrapQtAppsHook # do I need this?
];
# extra libraries for compilation, some of these may be unessecary
buildInputs = [
kdePackages.kcmutils

I’m quite new to nix, so if anyone with the know-how could explain what I’m doing wrong that would be great (:
