IceSL NixOS

[Ryan Hitcho]

Hoping someone here has some experience running IceSL on NixOS.

I have not found a derivation that works from nixpkgs for IceSL 2.5.3-beta5.

Modifying the derivation found here https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/misc/icesl/default.nix

```

{ stdenv
, lib
, fetchzip
, freeglut
, libXmu
, libXi
, libX11
, libICE
, libGLU
, libGL
, libSM
, libXext
, glibc
, lua
, glfw
, luabind
, libgccjit
, dialog
, openssl
, makeWrapper
}:

let
  lpath = lib.makeLibraryPath [ libXmu libXi libX11 freeglut libICE libGLU libGL libSM libXext glibc lua glfw luabind libgccjit openssl ];
in

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "IceSL";
  version = "2.5.3-beta5";

  src =  if stdenv.hostPlatform.system == "x86_64-linux" then fetchzip {
    url = "https://icesl.loria.fr/assets/other/download.php?build=${version}&version=beta&os=amd64";
    sha256 = "sha256-db4qj7hg0UnrlCnWAijvMWMgncUWPacnip3jdKU6Vl4=";
    extension = "zip";
  } else if stdenv.hostPlatform.system == "i686-linux" then fetchzip {
    url = "https://icesl.loria.fr/assets/other/download.php?build=${version}&version=beta&os=i386";
    sha256 = "";
    extension = "zip";
  } else throw "Unsupported architecture";

  buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
  installPhase = ''
    cp -r ./ $out
    #rm $out/bin/*.so
    mkdir $out/oldbin
    cp $out/bin/liblua.so $out/oldbin/liblua.so
    cp $out/bin/libluabind.so $out/oldbin/libluabind.so
    mv $out/bin/IceSL-slicer $out/oldbin/IceSL-slicer
    runHook postInstall
  '';

  postInstall = ''
    patchelf --set-interpreter "$(cat $NIX_CC/nix-support/dynamic-linker)" \
      --set-rpath "${lpath}" \
      $out/oldbin/IceSL-slicer
    makeWrapper $out/oldbin/IceSL-slicer $out/bin/icesl --prefix PATH : ${dialog}/bin
  '';

  meta = with lib; {
    description = "IceSL is a GPU-accelerated procedural modeler and slicer for 3D printing.";
    homepage = http://shapeforge.loria.fr/icesl/index.html;
    license = licenses.inria-icesl;
    sourceProvenance = with sourceTypes; [ binaryNativeCode ];
    platforms = [ "i686-linux" "x86_64-linux" ];
    maintainers = with maintainers; [ mgttlinger ];
  };
}

```

I get the error:

/nix/store/...-IceSL-2.5.3-beta5/oldbin/IceSL-slicer: error while loading shared libraries: libluabind.so: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory

I see the files liblua.so and libluabind.so live in the /bin directory alongside IceSL-slicer.

I kept these libraries in /bin with the program. I suppose they need to be in the path existing somwhere in the nix/store. Not sure how to get these libraries in there, or which packages may contain them.

I thought maybe lua and luabind packages would contain these libraries.

Sorry for this. Hoping to get some help as I use IceSL as my primary slicer.

Hi Ryan. I believe I know what is happening but I need to take a closer look at what you're doing. This week I am currently out of the office working on something else so I can't answer right away.

Very quickly; I see that you're setting the 'rpath' to something else. Can you append to it the path to where liblua.so and libluabind.so are?

[Ryan Hitcho]

Thank you Salim.

I will try your suggestion.

[Ryan Hitcho]

It is now working thank goodness!

adding the location of liblua.so and libluabind.so to the rpath was the first step, and worked so thank you.

Then I had the darndest time linking libstdc++.so.6 to path while avoiding a shell script.

I tried many packages containing libstdc++.so.6, and nothing.

Finally gcc-unwrapped was the package I needed containing libstdc++.so.6.

Here is the derivation I edited to get things going, for anyone out there who needs it.

Complete and utter novice here. Once I figure out how to contribute to nixpkgs I will share this beyond here.

Updated / Upgraded(downgraded) to a more stable gpu driver for an Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000.

Switching to linux kernal 6.6.8 in the process.

Needed to get IceSL on my system once more. Now I get this error when I start the application.

The OpenGL version looks odd to say the least.

Previosly GLFW version 3.2 was on my system and now I am using 3.4.

I am also running Wayland.

Is there any information I can provide you that will be of use?

No one is actively maintaining the IceSL NixOS package. Once a specific url no longer pointed to 2.4.1, they sort of stopped dead in their tracks. 

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ryan

Hi Ryan.

It seems your driver is not capable of creating an OpenGL 4.3 context. Could you please post the output of the command ‘glxinfo’?

Thank you

Hello Salim,

Thank you in advance for replying and your willingness to help.

Do you want the full output of 'glxinfo' is that useful to you?

Or can this be truncated in some way?

Could you please check if you have more than one version of GLFW installed in your machine? If so, uninstall all except the most recent one.

I removed all versions in case of conflict.

Managing to override the glfw version for the icesl package from nixpkgs-unstable works. 

It now requests glfw3 from nixpkgs-unstable. glfw v3.4

It renders like this, with the cursor position being correct for the windowed or fullscreen size, but not aligning with the GUI.

Oh well. I will look further into how I can get this working.

Thank you Salim

[Re-try WhenDown]

Hey Ryan. I am in the process of releasing a beta version that statically compiles GLFW , among another fuck ton of new features, including curved slicing.

I will tell you when it’s up. Hopefully today but no promises as unfortunately I am under lots of back pain and soon I will call it quits for today.

Salim!

This is fantastic news! Very excited for this.

I appreciate what you do.

Hope you feel better. By all means your health first of course!!

You have made my day with this bit of info.

[T Turner]

I agree on both accounts, take care of yourself. I'm certainly excited by a version I can run on Wayland as IceSL is by far my favorite slicer.

[Re-try WhenDown]

No problem my friend. This job is actually fun, most of the time. I hate testing, CI and the never ending job of documenting, but then who does!?

In any case, it’s up now. 2.5.4-beta1.

Changelog is here:

I’m heading back and if this still fails in your machine, let me know and tomorrow I will have a look in my not-so-powerful personal linux box.

Y’all have an exciting weekend.

Salim

Hazzah! Yes, thank you!!

Enjoy your weekend as well, thank you.

@Tim I second that notion of favorite slicer.

[T Turner]

Confirmed working on Wayland! Thank you for taking time to release it even though you aren't feeling well. I'm running CachyOS which is bleeding edge Arch Linux based so I'm guessing it should work everywhere.

[Ryan Hitcho]

Works here too! Thank you Salim. Thank you, thank you.

Now I have to get my plugins updated to use v.13 of icesl-interface instead of v.10

nixos 24.11

linux kernel 6.6.58

hyprland and wayland

nvidia quadro rtx 4000 535.216.01

[Re-try WhenDown]

Hey, you guys now are making me blush. Thanks for the kind words.

A video on how to use curved slicing should be coming very soon. I’ll disseminate it through this list once it’s up.

Many slicers are rushing to have non planar layers and IceSL is no difference. We will be thorough and try to best tell you the strengths and weaknesses of our approach.

It’s still very experimental but we gotta start somewhere. Of course, feedback will be much appreciated.

Enjoy your Friday!
