In this repo, I manage my dotfiles (program configurations) and such using nix, nix-flakes and home-manager.

You can see some things about this flake using these commands:

• nix flake metadata github:lordkekz/dotfiles (Shows info and inputs)
• nix flake show github:lordkekz/dotfiles (Shows some outputs)
• nix search github:lordkekz/dotfiles (Lists provided packages)

nix run .#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.homeConfigurations.hypr.activation-script -L -v --override-input stylix-image path:./assets/wallpaper-italy.jpg to activate Hyprland config with different wallpaper. sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#kekswork2404-hypr -L -v --override-input stylix-image path:./assets/wallpaper-italy.jpg to activate Hyprland config with different wallpaper.

I've written a nix package/derivation for the Sather-K Compiler Halle, which has compatibility issues with modern versions of GCC (>=10) and Mono (>= 5 or 6). You can audit the derivation located in pkgs/satk.nix. It simply downloads the source code zip from the university website, builds it with GCC 4.8 and the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (libgmp / GMP), and also adds a wrapper script to define needed environment variables and a workaround to a bug in Mono 4. Mono is automatically loaded as a runtime dependency.

1. Make sure you have a working linux distribution or WSL2 environment set up.
2. Install the Nix package manager. For instructions, see the official download page, or try the determinate systems nix installer.
3. Make sure that the nix flakes and nix-command features are enabled. The official installer does not do this but the determinate systems installer does enable them. Test it using nix flake show nixpkgs.

You can either run the sather-k compiler directly from the flake:

• Check the version: nix run github:lordkekz/dotfiles#satk -L -- --help
• Compile a file: nix run github:lordkekz/dotfiles#satk -L -- [satk options] <filename> (if you omit the filename, satk will wait for input on stdin, which trick you into thinking it's broken)

Or you can enter a shell which has the satk command available:

• nix shell github:lordkekz/dotfiles#satk -L
• Then, you can use satk normally, e.g.: satk -o outfile hello_world.sa

Note: In the nix shell environment provided by the #satk package, the mono command is not available on your $PATH. It is only available thorough the wrapper script knows the location of the mono binary.

Note: The <out>.exe binaries produced with satk -o <out> <filename> do not require the Mono Runtime to be present.

Full example:

$ nix shell github:lordkekz/dotfiles#satk -L
...
$ satk-get-examples
