TablePlus *.deb package

Help

I’m trying to wrap TablePlus - which is a commercial database management tool - as a nix package from the provided *.deb package.

The current nix expression I came up with looks like this:


let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
  tableplus = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "TablePlus";
    src = pkgs.fetchurl {
      url = "https://deb.tableplus.com/debian/pool/main/t/tableplus/tableplus_0.1.84_amd64.deb";
      sha256 = "01bfrv91hrigq5rni9vignlnhfr33zwhya5nivqi545cjmqfrv2w";
    };
    sourceRoot = "opt/tableplus";

    unpackPhase = ''
      runHook preUnpack
      dpkg-deb -x $src .
      runHook postUnpack
    '';

    installPhase = ''
      runHook preInstall
      ls -la
      mkdir -p "$out/bin"
      mkdir -p "$out/resource"
      cp -R "tableplus" "$out/bin/tableplus"
      cp -R "resource/" "$out/resource"
      chmod -R g-w "$out"
      # # Desktop file
      # mkdir -p "$out/share/applications"
      # cp "$desktopItem}/share/applications/"* "$out/share/applications"
      runHook postInstall
    '';

    nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [
      autoPatchelfHook
      dpkg
      makeWrapper
      wrapGAppsHook
    ];
    buildInputs = with pkgs; [
      stdenv.cc.cc.lib
      libgee
      json-glib
      openldap
      gtksourceview4
      gnome.libsecret
      gnome.gtksourceview
    ];
  };
in with pkgs;
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "testproj";
  buildInputs = [
    tableplus
  ];
  nativeBuildInputs = [
  ];
  shellHook = ''
    echo ${tableplus}
  '';
}

Packaging and installing seems to work but when I run ${tableplus}/bin/tableplus I’ll get ${tableplus}/bin/tableplus: /nix/store/7ndx3pmvfpc8mxw9aqm2vxpq8jylvqdc-openldap-2.4.58/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by ${tableplus}/bin/tableplus}.

Any pointers on what I’m doing wrong here?

Huh… strange. I tried it again and now it seems to be working :smiley:

I also tried to package it. It appears that TablePlus is asking for librairies that Nix cannot currently propose. Here is the package I made.

{ lib
, stdenv
, autoPatchelfHook
, dpkg
, libsecret
, libgee
, glib
, gtksourceview
, cairo
, gdk-pixbuf
, pango
, openldap
, cyrus_sasl
, libkrb5
}:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "table-plus";
  version = "0.1.178";

  src = builtins.fetchurl {
    url = "https://deb.tableplus.com/debian/21/pool/main/t/tableplus/tableplus_${version}_amd64.deb";
    # sha265 = "";
  };

  nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook dpkg ];

  buildInputs = [
    stdenv.cc.cc.lib
    libsecret
    libgee
    glib
    gtksourceview
    cairo
    gdk-pixbuf
    pango
    openldap
    cyrus_sasl
    libkrb5
  ];

  unpackPhase = ''
    mkdir pkg
    dpkg-deb -x $src pkg
    sourceRoot=pkg
  '';

  installPhase = ''
    mkdir -p $out/{bin,share,lib}
    mv opt/tableplus/* $out/share
    ln -s $out/share/tableplus $out/bin/tableplus

    # Fix libraries
    ln -s ${openldap}/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2 $out/lib/libldap-2.5.so.0
    ln -s ${cyrus_sasl.out}/lib/libsasl2.so.3 $out/lib/libsasl2.so.2

    mkdir -p $out/share/applications
    mv $out/share/tableplus.desktop $out/share/applications

    substituteInPlace $out/share/applications/tableplus.desktop \
      --replace "/usr/local/bin/tableplus" "tableplus" \
      --replace "/opt/tableplus/resource/image/logo.png" "$out/share/resource/image/logo.png"
  '';
}

See the trick for the librairies ? Well, it does not work obviously! Starting table plus with this dirty trick gives

./result/bin/tableplus: /nix/store/gvz8284pg2vnvhgirb84pf5shznh12k6-table-plus-0.1.178/lib/libldap-2.5.so.0: no version information available (required by ./result/bin/tableplus)
./result/bin/tableplus: /nix/store/gvz8284pg2vnvhgirb84pf5shznh12k6-table-plus-0.1.178/lib/libsasl2.so.2: no version information available (required by ./result/bin/tableplus)
./result/bin/tableplus: /nix/store/s9qbqh7gzacs7h68b2jfmn9l6q4jwfjz-glibc-2.33-59/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./result/bin/tableplus)

Sadly, I’m not skilled enough to fix that on my own. For me

  • cyrus_sasl does not provide libsasl2.so.2
  • openldap does not provide libldap-2.5.so.0 (current version: 2.4)
  • Glibc is not recent enough to support at least the version 2.34 (current version: 2.33)

I found a way to make tableplus work by rebuilding libldap and libsasl from the debian package. Keep in mind I am new to nix, this solution may be improved on:

let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
in pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "TablePlus";

    libldapSrc = pkgs.fetchurl {
      url = "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openldap/libldap-2.5-0_2.5.13+dfsg-2+b1_amd64.deb";
      sha256 = "ifecgulBnb0gtBXnYQEJy03k/Cy3UPEIkgnukZ9SG+g=";
    };

    libsaslSrc = pkgs.fetchurl {
      url = "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/libsasl2-2_2.1.27+dfsg-2_amd64.deb";
      sha256 = "3OguEgUoKpB8lvlzUItzB7imn6Td46+Sl+YCFXM/LTA=";
    };

    tableplusSrc = pkgs.fetchurl {
      url = "https://deb.tableplus.com/debian/21/pool/main/t/tableplus/tableplus_0.1.192_amd64.deb";
      sha256 = "SOsmjW6CGx28S3P4TaJ2kFdRXX+qR+7as9wiYqorAFA=";
    };

    unpackPhase = ''
      runHook preUnpack
      dpkg-deb -x $tableplusSrc tableplus
      dpkg-deb -x $libldapSrc libldap
      dpkg-deb -x $libsaslSrc libsasl
      runHook postUnpack
    '';

    installPhase = ''
      runHook preInstall
      mkdir -p "$out/lib"
      mkdir -p "$out/bin"
      mkdir -p "$out/resource"
      # deps
      cp -R libldap/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/* "$out/lib/"
      cp -R libsasl/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/* "$out/lib/"
      # tableplus
      cp -R "tableplus/opt/tableplus/tableplus" "$out/bin/tableplus"
      cp -R "tableplus/opt/tableplus/resource/" "$out/resource"
      chmod -R g-w "$out"
      # # Desktop file
      # mkdir -p "$out/share/applications"
      #cp "$desktopItem}/share/applications/"* "$out/share/applications"
      runHook postInstall
    '';

    nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [
      autoPatchelfHook
      dpkg
      makeWrapper
      wrapGAppsHook
    ];

    buildInputs = with pkgs; [
      gtksourceview
      gtksourceview4
      json-glib
      libgee
      libkrb5
      libsecret
      openldap
      stdenv.cc.cc.lib
    ];

    meta = with pkgs.stdenv.lib; {
      description = "Tableplus";
      homepage = https://tableplus.com/;
      platforms = [ "x86_64-linux" ];
    };
  }
