Motivation for this change

Kodi has had support (again) for Wayland since v18.0. It would be nice to ship it in NixOS.

I mimicked Firefox for Wayland's attribute path for Kodi with plugins:

  • New "plain" Kodi: kodiPlainWayland
  • kodiPlainWayland gets wrapped with plugins into kodi-wayland

I'm open to suggestions / discussion, particularly on 2 things:

  • The libxkbcommon build dependency is specified as libxkbcommon.dev, otherwise kodiPlainWayland won't build for me (cmake doesn't find xcbcommon), and I don't know why :-/
  • Some GNU/Linux distributions ship a mix between kodi and kodi-wayland: the /bin/kodi script already selects the right Kodi to launch if in a Wayland or X11 environment. So if we have a derivation which compiles both kodi + kodiPlainWayland, and "copy" ${kodiPlainWayland}/lib/kodi/kodi-wayland into ${kodi}/lib/kodi/, we should have something that is both native to X11 and Wayland!
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Does this really belong to nativeBuildInputs?

As I understand it, wayland-protocols are just xml files that describes the different protocols used in Wayland. They are converted to code at build time (usually with wayland-scanner for C/C++ headers).

You're welcome 😄

I was considering that you closed this since it's been two weeks without a review.

Perhaps @cpages would be interested in reviewing, you can also ask in a discourse post or in
#nixos on freenode.

Else fails, I should be able to in a couple of days. (this was on my sights).

These should be optional now that wayland is optional

I just did a quick review. I could not try it, but other than my minor suggestions, looks good to me. I'd go ahead and push this to have a working kodi for wayland. We can always try to have a mixed build later on.

Btw, I'll be away for a few days, so @worldofpeace you can merge when you think it's ok. Thanks!

I implemented @cpages 's suggestions (thanks for the review by the way!), rebased on master and everything still works like a charm!

Can you add wayland to the derivation name when useWayland is true?
