Hehe, thanks for your interest in guix-android. It's not really done yet, but I'm very motivated :). It always feels weird when someone on the internet calls you Mr ^^. No need to be so stiff, you can call me "Julien" (and I suppose it's the norm to call people by their first name in this kind of internet community). Maybe try to run aegisub with strace -f, you might find out something. You may have to take a look at alsa's sources to find out how it looks for its plugins exactly (maybe try to grep for PLUGIN or PLUGINDIR)?

Oh, I come from a culture that does not call seniors by their first names. (: Yes! guix-android looks super awesome! I'm glad that you are working on that. You're awesome. (Also, I just realized that you've also got guix-home-manager and so many more cool repositories! I need to check those out, and soon!) I did manage to resolve this issue. Kinda'. Here: https://github.com/peanutbutterandcrackers/guix-packages/blob/master/aegisub.scm All I had to do was re-define 'alsa-lib' to point to the /gnu/store path of alsa-plugins. The /gnu/store path had to be figured out during runtime. Could you please check how this fares in a GuixSD system? If it goes well, perhaps I should send a patch in for aegisub. But then again, I wonder if I should make the changes in alsa-lib itself, but I am not very sure about that.

Thanks! On the guix system, aegisub already works properly (at least it did when I last used it), because the alsa config allows it to find pulseaudio. There are three issues with your proposed change: First using derivation-outputs is a bad idea, and it probably only works because alsa-plugin doesn't depend on your modified alsa-lib (you'd get an infinite loop I think). Since alsa-plugin doesn't depend on this modified alsa-lib, you don't need such a convoluted work around. When defining the conhigure flags, you can simply use (assoc-ref %build-inputs "alsa-plugin") when "alsa-plugin" is defined as an input to the package. Second, setting plugindir at build-time is just asking for the same kind of issues you are trying to fix, only for finding another plugin that might be needed. Third, the way you modify the arguments is… unconventional :) try using substitute-keyword-arguments instead. There are plenty of examples in the repo. I remember having dealt with this issue before, and pushed a patch some 3 years ago: http://issues.guix.gnu.org/31239 Could you look at what happened in the meantime? I think it was reverted in favor of the asound.conf file we have in the guix system now. You might learn something if you find the reason why it was changed. Re my other projects, framagit is going to close next year, so I'll be migrating to my own hosting, currently at git.lepiller.eu. Ok for the cultural difference. It's probably too soon to call me a "senior" though, I'm still pretty young: only 3 years older than you :p Le 26 septembre 2020 16:46:50 GMT-04:00, Prafulla Giri <pratheblackdiamond@gmail.com> a écrit : >Oh, I come from a culture that does not call seniors by their first >names. >(: >Yes! guix-android looks super awesome!

First and foremost: wow. A post-doc at just three years older than me. *cries in high-school drop-out* Super awesome! I have cleaned up my package definition as per your review: https://github.com/peanutbutterandcrackers/guix-packages/blob/master/aegisub.scm I will look into the matter then. Might take me a while, but I'll try. It's sad that framagit is closing. I think they were doing a great job with peertube and all...

Well, it's framasoft, they started so many services that they can't handle the load anymore. So they've started closing them little by little last year. Some of them will stay, and others will disappear. They never wanted to centralize the web around them, so it's understandable. Instead, they propose other alternatives, they've started the chaton initiative (where other structures propose the same kind of services, at a smaller scale), etc. They're still developping peertube, don't worry about that. But they're not going to host a public instance. Remember they're about 10 volunteers and one employee :) > >On Sun, Sep 27, 2020 at 3:00 AM Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu> >wrote: > >> Thanks!

I see... Hmm.... I didn't know they were just 11 people. Anyways, here is something that an ALSA developer told me... I couldn't make much of it. But Perhaps you could?

Ok, I tgink that means alsa-lib looks for plugins in its rpach, fails to do so, tgen fallls back to its hard-coded path, and fails again. So if we set the rpath correctly (which we cannot do in a package because it would introduce a cyclic dependency), it can load its plugin. Could you try to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH like so: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<alsa-plugin's pulseaudio output>/lib aegisub Le 28 septembre 2020 10:43:02 GMT-04:00, Prafulla Giri <pratheblackdiamond@gmail.com> a écrit : >I see... > >Hmm....
