Nix with elixir-desktop

I’m trying to get GitHub - elixir-desktop/desktop: Building Local-First apps for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android using Phoenix LiveView & Elixir! · GitHub running.

To get it running one needs erlang compiled against wxwidgets - which I think nix already does, since I can run :observer.start() in iex. But it seems that wxWebView is missing somehow.

I have the following shell.nix:

let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
  unstable = import <nixos-unstable> { config = { allowUnfree = true; }; };
in with pkgs;
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "elixir-project";
  buildInputs = [
  ];
  nativeBuildInputs = [
    unstable.erlang
    unstable.elixir
    unstable.wxGTK
    unstable.gtk3
    unstable.webkitgtk
    unstable.gcc
    unstable.sqlite
  ];
  shellHook = let
   in ''
   '';
}

Where nixos-unstable is: unstable https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

Any ideas what’s missing here?


Version: Erlang/OTP 24 [erts-12.1.3] [source] [64-bit] [smp:32:32] [ds:32:32:10] [async-threads:1] [jit] / 24.1.4

Error message becaus of course I forgot posting it:

Maybe and definitively not :smiley:

The cool thing about nix is that you can relatively easily overwrite package definitions and use your own. I’ll try to make it work and report back if I get it working.

At least I now have a starting point for what might be wrong - thanks ^.^
