… when trying to generate the libadwaita bindings how https://github.com/GeopJr/libadwaita.cr suggests. Currently the crystal in nixpkgs is only 1.2, that's why the warnings are these and might be the cause of the fatal error. Trying again when crystal is updated.

[auroraanna]

So, it build now but the executable in the result is crystal…

[auroraanna]

oh, forgot my comments about the bindings…

It should not be blocked anymore!

I don't understand this error.

[auroraanna]

Can the shards install from make bindings be removed somehow? The isn't supposed to be downloads in the build phases.

[GeopJr]

Is this better (as to not break existing scripts using it)? GeopJr/Collision@f9dec3a

edit:
Otherwise, you might have better luck manually running the commands you need (the makefile was mostly written for users), like the AUR package and the flatpak do:

# Assuming you have installed the shards already and the binding generator has been built
./bin/gi-crystal
shards build -Dpreview_mt --release --no-debug # or "crystal build ./src/collision.cr -Dpreview_mt --release --no-debug" to skip the shard check if the environment doesn't have network access - beware, the output location will be `./collision` instead

# anything else that you need to compile & install (translations, .desktop files, metainfo)

[auroraanna]

So, shards install builds the binding generator? Or is there a seperate command for that?

[GeopJr]

shards install installs the shards, one of which is the bindings generator which has a postinstall script that builds itself. I am not sure if crystal2nix does run the postinstall scripts.

On the flatpak - that doesn't have internet access during the build process and shards are cloned manually (instead of using the shards tool) - I build the bindings generator manually:

- cd lib/gi-crystal && crystal build src/generator/main.cr && cd ../.. && mkdir ./bin && cp lib/gi-crystal/main ./bin/gi-crystal
- ./bin/gi-crystal
