Hello,
I'm trying to install xmonad-0.12 and xmonad-contrib-0.12 by building a
nix package for each of these ones. To build nix packages, I use cabal2nix.
I first build and install xmonad-0.12 nix package as illustrated:
nix-env -qas -A nixos.pkgs.haskellPackages.xmonad
IP- haskell-xmonad-ghc7.8.3-0.12-shared
I then trying to install xmonad-contrib-0.12 but I've a dependency
problem:
nix-env -i -A nixos.pkgs.haskellPackages.xmonadContrib
installing ‘haskell-xmonad-contrib-ghc7.8.3-0.12-shared’
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/nc6c7s900y4sfr5ahyhzlak52vdklv3y-haskell-xmonad-contrib-ghc7.8.3-0.12-shared.drv
building path(s)

Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
xmonad ==0.12.*

‘/nix/store/nc6c7s900y4sfr5ahyhzlak52vdklv3y-haskell-xmonad-contrib-ghc7.8.3-0.12-shared.drv’

error: build of
‘/nix/store/nc6c7s900y4sfr5ahyhzlak52vdklv3y-haskell-xmonad-contrib-ghc7.8.3-0.12-shared.drv’
failed
In order to override upstream version, I use the following config
file:
cat ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix
{
packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {
haskellPackages = with pkgs.haskellPackages; pkgs.haskellPackages // rec {
xmonad = callPackage /home/lewo/repos/xmonad {};
xmonadContrib = callPackage /home/lewo/repos/XMonadContrib {};
};
};
}
I don't understand why this dependency is not managed by nix since it
is specified in the cabal file:
grep "xmonad>" xmonad-contrib.cabal
xmonad>=0.12 && < 0.13,
Any ideas about this?
Should I use another way to build them?
Thanks in advance,
lewo.
