Factorio on Nix(OS)

Post by loocuuwo »

I hacked together a nix expression (http://nixos.org/nix/) for "building" factorio:

Code: Select all

{ stdenv
, pkgs
, lib
, makeWrapper
, path
, version
}:

let
  libmapper = val: (map (x: x + "/lib") val ++ map (x: x + "/lib64") val); 
  lib_help = if stdenv.system == "x86_64-linux" then "lib64" else "lib";
in
assert (path != null);
assert (version != null);
stdenv.mkDerivation (rec {
  inherit version;
  name = "factorio-${version}";
  src = path;
  phases = [ "unpackPhase" "installPhase" ];
  buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
  libs = with pkgs; [ alsaLib xlibs.libX11 xlibs.libXcursor xlibs.libXinerama
                      xlibs.libXrandr xlibs.libXi
                    ];
  configPath = builtins.toFile "config-path.cfg" ''
    config-path=__PATH__executable__/../../config
    use-system-read-write-data-directories=true
  '';
  installPhase = ''
    mkdir -p "$out/opt/factorio/chroot/usr/share"
    cp -r bin "$out/opt/factorio/chroot"
    cp ${configPath} "$out/opt/factorio/chroot/config-path.cfg"
    chmod +x "$out/opt/factorio/chroot/bin/x64/factorio"

    interpreter=$(echo ${stdenv.glibc}/${lib_help}/ld-linux*.so.2)
    patchelf --set-interpreter $interpreter \
      "$out/opt/factorio/chroot/bin/x64/factorio"

    cp -r data "$out/opt/factorio/chroot/usr/share/factorio"

    mkdir "$out/bin"
    makeWrapper "${pkgs.fakechroot}/bin/fakechroot -- chroot $out/opt/factorio/chroot/ /bin/x64/factorio" "$out/bin/factorio" \
      --prefix FAKECHROOT_EXCLUDE_PATH : "\$HOME:/nix:/dev:/proc:/sys" \
      --prefix LD_LIBRARY_PATH : "${lib.concatStringsSep ":" (libmapper libs)}" \
      --add-flags "--config" --add-flags "\$HOME/.factorio/config.ini"
  '';
})
Use it like this:

Code: Select all

nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./default.nix { path = ./factorio_alpha_x64_0.12.6.tar.gz; version = "0.12.6"; }'
You can register the result in your user profile by calling something to the effect of:

Code: Select all

nix-env -i /nix/store/6i11cryni94n16zfi6kx6z6alkhflbjj-factorio-0.12.6
(I realise that this will probably of use to no one — it is however nice to have it written down somewhere should I ever lose my local copy)

Thanks for the starting point, but it didn't work for me with some X11 errors:

Code: Select all

Major opcode of failed request 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
I used the above as a starting point for a more elaborate solution based on buildFHSUserEnv (used by the Steam derivation).

So far, my only test has been to launch it; I haven't played or tested that audio works.

After deploying the below files (and downloading factorio to ~/.nixpkgs/factorio/), install and run with:

Code: Select all

nix-env -iA nixos.factorio
factorio
In ~/.nixpgs/factorio/default.nix (based on the above post):

Code: Select all

{ stdenv
, pkgs
, lib
, makeWrapper
, path
, version
}:

let
  libmapper = val: (map (x: x + "/lib") val ++ map (x: x + "/lib64") val);
  lib_help = if stdenv.system == "x86_64-linux" then "lib64" else "lib";
in
assert (path != null);
assert (version != null);
stdenv.mkDerivation (rec {
  inherit version;
  name = "factorio-original-${version}";
  src = path;
  phases = [ "unpackPhase" "installPhase" ];
  buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
  libs = with pkgs; [ alsaLib xlibs.libX11 xlibs.libXcursor xlibs.libXinerama
                      xlibs.libXrandr xlibs.libXi mesa
                    ];
  configPath = builtins.toFile "config-path.cfg" ''
    config-path=__PATH__executable__/../../config
    use-system-read-write-data-directories=true
  '';
  installPhase = ''
    mkdir -p "$out/share"
    cp -r bin "$out/"
    cp ${configPath} "$out/config-path.cfg"
    chmod +x "$out/bin/x64/factorio"

    cp -r data "$out/share/factorio"

    cd "$out/bin"
    ln -s ./x64/factorio
  '';
})
In ~/.nixpgs/factorio/default.nix (based on the steam derivation):

Code: Select all

{ lib, buildFHSUserEnv, config }:

buildFHSUserEnv {
  name = "factorio";

  targetPkgs = pkgs:
    [ pkgs.factorio-original ];

  multiPkgs = pkgs:
    [
      pkgs.xlibs.libX11
      pkgs.xlibs.libXcursor
      pkgs.xlibs.libXi
      pkgs.xlibs.libXinerama
      pkgs.xlibs.libXrandr
      pkgs.mesa
      pkgs.alsaLib
    ];

  runScript = "factorio";
}
In ~/.nixpgs/config.nix:

Code: Select all

{
  allowUnfree = true;
  packageOverrides = pkgs_: with pkgs_; {
    factorio-original = callPackage ./factorio/default.nix {
      path = ./factorio/factorio_alpha_x64_0.12.16.tar.gz;
      version = "0.12.16";
    };
    factorio = callPackage ./factorio/chrootenv.nix {};
  };
}

Neato, i might go on bug patrol for fun
EDIT: realized this is not from ASM to executable.
