I want to install kwin effects and decorations under Nixos. I already added custom packages and installed them successfully but those were all binaries with an executable not libraries needed by other applications. How can I do this properly with kwin seeing it?
Take a look at this:
https://github.com/peterhoeg/nixpkgs/commit/d2f375e65fcf319e8d13f70505ed53fa24a62b02
It’s not upstream.

If I want to install a kwin effect when I would execute make install it would also copy a file into the store path of an entirely different package (kdelibs4support).
As thus i get a “Maybe need administrative privileges” and the install fails.
How do I resolve this?
Take a look at the installPhase in the link I mentioned.
