How do you deal with extra config stuff then? Write out a file and load it in config.el ?
I'm asking because i used to have a setup like this with NDE

extraConfig = ''
    (setq exec-path (append exec-path '( ${
    pkgs.lib.concatMapStringsSep " " (x: ''"${x}/bin"'') extraBins
    } )))
    (setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":${
    pkgs.lib.concatMapStringsSep ":" (x: "${x}/bin") extraBins
    }"))
';

It it's just runtime path of your emacs, can't you wrap your emacs and provide your own derivation ? (to programs.emacs or w/e else you use)

For example, these 2 won't load from path

      (use-package langtool
        :config
        (setq langtool-bin "${pkgs.languagetool}/bin/languagetool-commandline"))
      (setq parinfer-rust-library "${pkgs.kakounePlugins.parinfer-rust}/lib/libparinfer_rust.dylib")

For example, these 2 won't load from path so you have to set them

      (use-package langtool
        :config
        (setq langtool-bin "${pkgs.languagetool}/bin/languagetool-commandline"))
      (setq parinfer-rust-library "${pkgs.kakounePlugins.parinfer-rust}/lib/libparinfer_rust.dylib")

Latest nix-doom-emacs is broken for me. Can open emacs standalone, but the systemd service dumps a bunch of errors elated to not finding something called "annalist"
(I'm noticing I really need to pin my emacs setup now 😅)

ugh, I think I know what is going on with the evil-collection package 😬

So first, context.

evil-collection is a package to add evil keybindings to a bunch of other modes.

I added a change to the nix-doom-emacs repository to change the resolution of evil-collection to be an extra dependency (not going through the regular emacs' dependency resolution, but through nix machinery).

I did this as the regular emac's dependency resolution hangs on the latest version of macOS, specifically when compiling the evil-collection-speedbar.el file.

Now, this "worked" ok. Everything compiles and we are good right? Not so much.

I found out that when the extra dependencies compilation fail, it does not fail the whole build. After whacking a few moles making it compile, I noticed that the final installation does not include a modes subdirectory that the package needs. I think this is due to the nix machinery only taking .el files into consideration (not directories).

I'm trying to make evil-collection work in macOS, ideally I would be able to skip a specific extension from evil-collection (the one hanging the build).
