Motivation for this change

The package was abandoned in nixpkgs for some time, but upstream is very active.

Now it is in a good state.

Also patching upstream, waiting on issue resolved or not - patch would roll on versions:
Upstream inserts the src path reference during build into ELF rpath, so we must delete it out.
upstream report: projectM-visualizer/projectm#245

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)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Thanks for updating this fine piece of software! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for me:

$ cd nixpkgs
$ git checkout adopt-projectm
$ nix-build . -A projectm
...
$ ./result-bin/bin/projectM-pulseaudio
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

zsh: abort      ./result-bin/bin/projectM-pulseaudio

Issue #68615 seems similar.

@mmilata This needed wrapQtAppsHook, I still not accustomed to bother with Nix runtime dependencies. On your system, it now must work.

@ajs124

I see that you want to take over this.

I hope you took from this thread everything useful here is.

I do not think I would use projectm much, but I see you probably would, so I close this in favor of you.
