[Nix-dev] new package: crack-attack

[Piotr Pietraszkiewicz]

Hi!

I've created my first nix package by editing the *current* /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/.

In the pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix I added:

  crack_attack = callPackage ../games/crack-attack {
    inherit stdenv fetchurl pkgconfig freeglut SDL mesa;
    inherit (gtkLibs) gtk;
    inherit (xlibs) libXi libXmu;
  };

In the pkgs/games/ I created a folder crack-attack.

nix-dev at cs.uu.nl

In the pkgs/games/crack-attack/default.nix I put:

  { stdenv, fetchurl, pkgconfig, gtk, freeglut, SDL, mesa, libXi, libXmu}:

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "crack-attack-1.1.14";

    src = fetchurl {
      url = http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/crack-attack/crack-attack-1.1.14.tar.gz;
      md5 = "262445024b0fca44508355242ea29d71";
    };

    buildInputs =
      [
        pkgconfig gtk freeglut SDL mesa libXi libXmu
      ];

    meta = {
      description = "A fast-paced puzzle game inspired by the classic
Super NES title Tetris Attack!";
      homepage = http://www.nongnu.org/crack-attack/;
      license = "GPL";
      platforms = stdenv.lib.platforms.linux;
    };

    patches = [
      ./crack-attack-1.1.14-gcc43.patch
      ./crack-attack-1.1.14-glut.patch
    ];
  }

The patches I stole from Gentoo.

Does this look OK so far? The above builds on my x86_64 platform. I
was not sure what to put in the 'platform' attribute. The crack-attack
supports more then one platform(linux, os x), but I tested only on
one.

Could this be included in the nix packages collection?

Thank you in advance for your comments.
