Hi there,

i'm still stuck at chapter 5 but got (much?) wiser:

LittleWizard needs:
- gtk >= 2.4
- pkgconfig

nixpkgs-0.10pre4851 contains gtkLibs ... how to get gtk?

I did a

$ nix-build ./littlewizard

===== littlewizard,nix =====
(import nixpkgs-0.10pre4851/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix).littlewizard

===== default.nix =====
{stdenv, fetchurl, perl , gtkLibs}:

stdenv.mkDerivation {
  name = "littlewizard-1.1.1";
  # builder = ./builder.sh;
  src = fetchurl {
    url =
http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/littlewizard/littlewizard-1.1.1.tar.gz;
    md5 = "8d8ddeae00061e04dcaa1c87fb573f42";
  };
  inherit perl gtkLibs;

  # variant
  # inherit perl gtk;
}

===== nixpkgs-0.10pre4851/pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix =====

### GAMES

  littlewizard = (import ../games/littlewizard) {
    inherit fetchurl stdenv perl;
    inherit gtkLibs;
  # variant
  #1# inherit gtk;
  #2# inherit perl gtkLibs pkgconfig
  };

==============================

I think gtkLibs is a function with ??? gtkLibs.gtk as a result ???

Conclusion:

I don't understand much about chapter 5 ;-(

Who wants to cook my recipe?

Tanx,
