Hey everyone,

I'm have little to no knowledge on go and how to build it. Mish-mashing from

other pkg derivations, I wrote the following:

{
  buildGoModule,
  lib,
  fetchFromGitHub,
}:
buildGoModule rec {
  pname = "wsl-notify-send";
  version = "0.1.871612270";

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "stuartleeks";
    repo = pname;
    rev = "refs/tags/v${version}";
    hash = "sha256-XbBqbuAp4gmD/OBr8sjCUQS1m2eoiMrTKTrt9Dj/70w=";
  };

  vendorHash = null;

  # GOOS = "linux";

  meta = with lib; {
    description = "WSL replacement for notify-send";
    homepage = "https://github.com/stuartleeks/wsl-notify-send";
    license = with licenses; [mit];
    mainProgram = pname;
  };
}

Which fails with

       last 10 log lines:
       > Running phase: unpackPhase
       > unpacking source archive /nix/store/1livjb3n3n2hyzafx8qay42msxi45xnl-source
       > source root is source

       > # gopkg.in/toast.v1
       > vendor/gopkg.in/toast.v1/toast.go:352:41: unknown field HideWindow in struct literal of type "syscall".SysProcAttr

First searches I did online pointed towards an OS issue so I've tried setting
GOOS='linux' to be resulted in the same error. I also tried to build the

module which is the dependency, toast explicitly however since it doesn't

have a go.mod file it surpassed the amount of knowledge I have over go.

Anybody has an idea how can I drive forward?

In reply to @katexochen:matrix.org
octvs: From the the Makefile of wsl-notify-send (https://github.com/stuartleeks/wsl-notify-send/blob/main/Makefile#L8) and the readme of toast it looks like this must be build on windows. They also only release binaries for win: https://github.com/stuartleeks/wsl-notify-send/releases/tag/v0.1.871612270

Thanks a lot for looking into it. Should have been more careful.

fwiw, i tried cross compiling windows cgo executables with nix and ran into some issues. but if you are not using cgo, you can skip all of that hassle and use go's tooling directly to produce executables

Thanks, I will stick by just grabbing exe via fetchzip
