How to add buildInputs for openldap package?

Help
1

I’m trying to create an overlay for the openldap package with the smbk5pwd module. While building that I get an error about a missing krb5.h file. It seems I need to add the heimdal package to the buildInputs but that’s where I’m getting stuck. I tried the code below but I’m getting an infinite recursion error.

             overlay-openldap = final: prev: {
                # nixpkgs:/pkgs/development/libraries/openldap
                openldap = prev.openldap.overrideAttrs (_: rec {
                    buildInputs = prev.openldap.buildInputs ++ [prev.heimdal];

                    extraContribModules = [
                      # https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/tree/master/contrib/slapd-modules
                      "passwd/sha2"
                      "passwd/pbkdf2"
                      "passwd/totp"
                      "smbk5pwd"
                    ];
                });
              };

You need to use the previous arguments that overrideAttrs provides.

overlay-openldap = final: prev: {
                # nixpkgs:/pkgs/development/libraries/openldap
                openldap = prev.openldap.overrideAttrs (a: {
                    buildInputs = a.buildInputs ++ [final.heimdal];

                    extraContribModules = [
                      # https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/tree/master/contrib/slapd-modules
                      "passwd/sha2"
                      "passwd/pbkdf2"
                      "passwd/totp"
                      "smbk5pwd"
                    ];
                });
              };

I also changed the heimdal input to use the final set (not required, but nice if you’re not overriding it yourself) and removed the unnecessary rec.

Thanks for the quick reply and the changes make sense. Unfortunately I still get error: infinite recursion encountered.

It seems that openldap is a parameter passed to the heimdal package so that’s where that error comes from. I also had a look and maybe the krb5 package fits my purposes as well but that also has openldap as a parameter. However the krb5 package only needs openldap when building with withLdap = true but still gives me the same error about infinite recursion. Any ideas how to fix this?
