 Cobalt | Looks like it, that's at least the same error code | 14:08:08 |
 @ThorHop:matrix.org | I hope so, because I've been slamming my head against the wall with learning this process the last couple of days ^^; might have to upload my flake and nix files just to make sure it isn't my sucky programming "skills". | 14:12:01 |
 Lily Foster | What channel are you on? | 14:12:57 |
| Lily Foster | Oh the fix hasn't hit unstable yet anyway | 14:13:35 |
| Lily Foster | https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=260011 | 14:13:39 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | That's the one ^^; guess I gotta wait a lil bit. | 14:14:06 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | Should I try with the small one maybe? | 14:14:35 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | Lily Foster Wait, do you mean system wide (i.e the one I have running) or for the flake? I am using nixpkgs-unstable as the input. | 14:15:57 |

| @ThorHop:matrix.org | nixpkgs-unstable | 14:22:22 |
| Lily Foster | Yeah you could just wait on channel update or temporarily switch to master, fetch once, and then you can switch back since the cached npm deps will already be in nix store then | 14:28:35 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | Now I'm getting an error sharp: Are you trying to install as a root or sudo user?. Apparently sharp tries to download a binary? | 15:47:52 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | * Now I'm getting an error sharp: Installation error: EACCES: permission denied. Apparently sharp tries to download a binary and nix doesn't like that? | 15:48:29 |

Now I'm getting an error sharp: Installation error: EACCES: permission denied. Apparently sharp tries to download a binary and nix doesn't like that? You need pkgs-config in nativeBuildInputs and vips in buildInputs if sharp is a dep | 15:50:06 |
| Lily Foster | That prevents it from downloading binary and it builds it instead | 15:50:16 |
| Lily Foster | We need to document "common dependency quirks" like that somewhere... | 15:50:50 |
| Cobalt | In reply to @lily:lily.flowers
We need to document "common dependency quirks" like that somewhere... I don't know if that's possible but it would also be a big Qol thing to include common requirements, like poetry2nix, for, e.g., pkg-config, openssl, ... that are automatically applied when needed. | 15:52:33 |
| Lily Foster | (hey if anyone likes writing docs and wants to join the nixpkgs nodejs team (pls i need more people to work with ðŸ˜)) | 15:52:40 |
| Cobalt | It's a pain to figure out at the beginning why node-gyp fails to build yet another transitive dependency | 15:53:17 |
| Lily Foster | In reply to @c0ba1t:matrix.org
It's a pain to figure out at the beginning why node-gyp fails to build yet another transitive dependency Tbh i've thought about just having buildNpmPackage default to including python3 in nativeBuildInputs for that reason | 15:53:58 |
| Lily Foster | (And because it won't actually increase the derivation closure size) | 15:54:21 |

(hey if anyone likes writing docs and wants to join the nixpkgs nodejs team (pls i need more people to work with ðŸ˜)) Maybe you have some good "first issues" to point too? Would love to change from consumer to contributor eventually | 15:54:29 |
| Lily Foster | I may still do that | 15:54:34 |

Maybe you have some good "first issues" to point to? Would love to change from consumer to contributor eventually We have a project board that you could yoink from the "todo" list that isn't being actively worked on. But they aren't really "good first issues" unfortunately... | 15:55:24 |
| Lily Foster | I wonder if i should get that added to the room topic | 15:56:44 |
| Lily Foster | Actually let me check what it even says right now, i don't actually know | 15:57:01 |
| Lily Foster | Ah it does not have anything set rn | 15:57:28 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | Well I'll be scraggly 😄 Tis working! | 16:11:25 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [pkg-config python3];
buildInputs = with pkgs; [vips];
These two were very important.
