Description
The SP Flash Tool fails on NixOS/NiXium, because it's missing various libraries:
$ ./flash_tool.sh
~/.../SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2228_Linux/flash_tool: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
~/.../SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2228_Linux/flash_tool: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
~/.../SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2228_Linux/flash_tool: error while loading shared libraries: libgthread-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...This happens, because nix-based systems are not complying to the FHS 3.0 standard and/or do not provide the required libraries by design and instead expect declarative environment or getting the software declared as package.
To make it easier for nix users please include the following as shell.nix in SP Flash Tool:
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { config.allowUnfree = true; } }:
let
fhs = pkgs.buildFHSEnv {
name = "sp-flash-tool-fhs";
targetPkgs = pkgs: with pkgs; [
xorg.libXrender
xorg.libSM
xorg.libICE
xorg.libX11
xorg.libXext
xorg.libXtst
glibc
glib
zlib
libGL
fontconfig
freetype
libusb1
dbus
udev
];
runScript = "bash";
};
in
fhs.envThis way nix user can just cd to the directory of SP Flash Tool and invoke nix-shell to get a temporary environment from which the SP Flash Tool will then work painlessly:
