Has anyone managed to get Krita G'MIC working with Nix?
Recently, I switched to NixOS and realised that there is no G'MIC plugin package for Krita.
There's this issue that was last active in October 2023.
I was wondering if anyone has managed to install this without using another package manager (such as Flatpak) or installing an AppImage manually, for system reproducibility, and I also don't wanna have two package managers in one system.
Ideally, there'd be a wrapper, so you could do something like:
I’m far from an expert on NixOS but using another package manager with nixos seems like it would defeat the entire purpose of the distro. It really seems like you must be ok with creating your own packages.
I can't answer the "how to make it work" part, as I'm on a different device using a Guix System. But yes, I can vouch that what you've done is actually wrong. There's no entry for Krita under NixOS options. The program. options are defined here. Someone will have to create a custom expression just for the Krita fork of G'Mic. Might as well have to involve patches.
