[Nix-dev] patch problem

[deCube.net | Danny Wilson]

Hoi Roelof,

My guess is you didn’t read the error message. :-D

Do you know about the nix-env -K option ( —keep-failed).  It keeps the failed build in a folder in /tmp.
There you can see that extracting cjs-2.0.0.tar.gz creates another directory where all the source files are.

But your patch: https://github.com/roelof1967/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/desktops/cinnamon/fix_configure_ac_gobject.patch#L12  says the file is located in a Folder called “a/“ (or “b/“)

So to fix this you can change “a/"  and   “b/"   to   "cjs-2.0.0/"

Good luck x-)


PS: It’s actually very annoying Nix doesnt cd to the extracted source directory in the patchPhase as patch files become tied to a specific package version, but I guess there’s a good reason for this behaviour ...
