How to Install Pixelator on NixOS
- Download Pixelator.
- Clone my fork of nix-patchtools.
- Modify
examples/pixelator.nixwith the appropriate path to yourpixelator-1.0.5-linux-x64.zip.
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
autopatchelf = import ../default.nix;
in
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "pixelator";
src = ~/downloads/pixelator-1.0.5-linux-x64.zip;

}Building it
$ cd nix-patchtools/examples
$ nix-build pixelator.nixThe output will be something like,
/nix/store/j89yqn3zhpz2r9jwrng45yl09arxq4h0-pixelatorInstalling it
nix-env -i /nix/store/j89yqn3zhpz2r9jwrng45yl09arxq4h0-pixelatorRunning it
Pixelator expects the pixelator and _pixelator_cmd.exe binaries to be in the
directory that you launch it from. You can solve that via
$ mkdir -p ~/scratch/pixelator
$ cd ~/scratch/pixelator
$ ln -s /nix/store/ksxwcam55sl20bpv39lj1244n5kvcnq9-pixelator/_pixelator_cmd.exe .
$ ln -s /nix/store/ksxwcam55sl20bpv39lj1244n5kvcnq9-pixelator/pixelator pixelatorSuccess!
