Xeonitte

A graphical installer for NixOS based distributions.

Development

This application has Linux-only dependencies.

# download dependencies
nix develop

# Initiate meson environment for the first time. This will generate ./src/config.rs
meson setup build

# build the project
nix build --show--trace

# Go one folder back and run bin outside of nix-shell.
cd ..
./xeonitte/result/bin/xeonitte

# Optional. Generate translation words from /po/POTFILES.in if needed.
cd ./po
xgettext --directory=.. --files-from=POTFILES.in --from-code=UTF-8 -kgettext -o translations.pot

New testing way

# on first time run this or dependencies changes usually .nix/flake.lock changed
# to build & run. Remove buildtype, Dprofile to test in --release flag
meson setup builddir --prefix=~/.local --reconfigure --buildtype=debug -Dprofile=development

ninja -C builddir install && ~/.local/bin/xeonitte

All ./config folder data will be generated by meson after nix build. The code searchs for files from /etc/xeonitte so you will grab it manually from ./result/xeonitte folder and put it /etc/xeonitte.

sudo cp -r ./result/etc/xeonitte /etc/xeonitte
