when using the emacs-overlay and trying to use the emacs-unstable-pgtk package like this:

emacs =
    with pkgs;
    ((emacsPackagesFor emacs-unstable-pgtk).emacsWithPackages (
      epkgs: with epkgs; [
        treesit-grammars.with-all-grammars
        vterm
        pdf-tools
        org-pdftools
      ]
    ));

https://pastebin.com/MTVLePT0

a similar error occurs for pdf-tools. emacs-unstable and emacs-pgtk both install. the first is of course for X11 and the second is emacs 31, so too new for my liking. anyone experienced similar issue with overlays?

It becomes an issue that on one machine the UI is fine, but on a second (laptop) the font size would make a micro-dot look big 😀

Hey, I'm trying to use a fork of org in Nix to replace my straight set up. I tried to change the src of the package, but, as I guess the package provided by nixpkgs has a special build process as it comes from elpa, it doesn't work. What can I do ?

trivialBuild {
pname = "combobulate";
version = "pre-2024-09-20";

Normal nix expression build via :b emacsPackages.trivialbuild.... or nix build, but with HM config, I get byte compile errors such as related to "actions" and "lexical binding"..

Even adding packageRequires = [ transient ]; does not.

I suppose the package source itself has to get rid of errors?

when using the emacs-overlay and trying to use the emacs-unstable-pgtk package like this:

emacs =
    with pkgs;
    ((emacsPackagesFor emacs-unstable-pgtk).emacsWithPackages (
      epkgs: with epkgs; [
        treesit-grammars.with-all-grammars
        vterm
        pdf-tools
        org-pdftools
      ]
    ));

a similar error occurs for pdf-tools. emacs-unstable and emacs-pgtk both install. the first is of course for X11 and the second is emacs 31, so too new for my liking. anyone experienced similar issue with overlays?

It becomes an issue that on one machine the UI is fine, but on a second (laptop) the font size would make a micro-dot look big 😀

happening for me too and also https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay/issues/425 … trying to investigate…

doin a hecken bisect

oh my god it builds from master when i directly refer to my checkout for the emacs-overlay source
