I’m trying to install Real VNC Viewer on NixOS (a proprietary VNC client, which has clients for almost all platforms).
There was a similar post about Real VNC Server here.
They do provide binaries, install scripts, and .deb
and .rpm
packages. They do not have their apps on Flathub or Flatpack.
I got into nixOS this weekend so I’m still not sure how to make my own derivations. (I tried installing my custom python package from GitHub and failed miserably ). Also I am slowly reading through nix pills.
Do you have any tips/links/tutorials on how to create nixpkgs package with RealVNC Viewer?
I have found just this page on wiki, but It seems too complex.
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Binaries
And this is my broken take on this:
mypkgs/real-vnc-viewer.nix · b3daca74bd67bcbb3fbf523e24003860774336fc · Jan Kaifer / nixos · GitLab
Also when I try to run the binary after downloading it, it will return something like:
$ ./Downloads/VNC-Viewer-6.20.529-Linux-x64
bash: ./Downloads/VNC-Viewer-6.20.529-Linux-x64: No such file or directory
