+#+DESCRIPTION: When trying to follow the Bevy getting started guide, I ran into some NixOS related issues. Here's what they were and what I had to do to fix them!

+#+TITLE: Bevy: getting started on NixOS
+#+SUBTITLE: A tutorial for the tutorial
+
+A little while ago, I received the good news that I had gotten two
+(/TWO/ 🎉) of my talk proposals accepted by [[https://ndcoslo.com/][NDC Oslo]] this year: one on
+profiling performance issues and one on building Rust games for the
+browser 🥳 While this /is/ great, it also means that I need to start
+doing some serious work, because /these talks don't exist yet/.
+
+For the talk on building games with Rust, I knew immediately that I
+wanted to use [[https://bevyengine.org/][the Bevy game engine]]. However, I've never used Bevy
+before, so I thought I'd start with [[https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/introduction/][the Bevy Book]] and [[https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/getting-started/][its /Getting
+Started/ section]]. For most cases, the docs should be sufficient, but
+if you run NixOS (I do 🙋), then you might run into some cases not
+covered by the guide. This post details all the extra steps I had to
+take to get through the tutorial. At the end, I'll put the whole
+~shell.nix~ file that I ended up with as well as any other changes I
+had to make.
+
+This was for Bevy 0.5 running on NixOS 21.05 on a Dell XPS 9570 using
+the NVIDIA graphics card. If your system is different, the steps in
+this post may or may not work for you. But if you try and follow the
+steps in this post, /do/ let me know how it went [[https://twitter.com/thomasheartman][(@ me on Twitter!]])!
+
+Oh, and before we get started: I'd like to extend a big thank you to
+everyone who helped me out in the [[https://discord.gg/bevy][Bevy discord]] as well as to the
+people behind the engine itself and the docs ❤️
+
+* Initial setup
+
+Let's get a dev environment going with the dependencies we need. The
+Bevy GitHub repo has a [[https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/docs/linux_dependencies.md#nixos][linux setup file (with a specific section for
+NixOS!)]] that tells you what you need. As mentioned in the text, add
+this to a ~build.rs~ file (in your project root):
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC rust
+  fn main() {
+      if cfg!(target_os = "linux") {
+          println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=vulkan");
+      }
+  }
+#+END_SRC
+
+It also gives you a Nix shell that you can use. It contains most
+dependencies, but as we'll see, we need to modify it slightly (or at
+least I had to). The version that's there is:
+
+#+begin_src nix
+  { pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
+  with pkgs;
+  mkShell {
+    buildInputs = [
+      cargo
+      pkgconfig udev alsaLib lutris
+      x11 xorg.libXcursor xorg.libXrandr xorg.libXi
+      vulkan-tools vulkan-headers vulkan-loader vulkan-validation-layers
+    ];
+  }
+#+end_src
+
+* Problem 1: fast compilation
+
+The first issues I ran into were in [[https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/getting-started/setup/][the /Setup/ section of the guide]]. Specifically around /fast compilation/.
+
+The guide says to copy [[https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/.cargo/config_fast_builds][this Cargo config file]] into
+~YOUR_WORKSPACE/.cargo/config.toml~. This config file enables fast
+compilation by configuring the linker and specific Rust flags. The
+configuration for building on Linux looks like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC toml
+  [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
+  linker = "/usr/bin/clang"
+  rustflags = ["-Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=lld", "-Zshare-generics=y"]
+#+END_SRC
+
+If you've used NixOS for a bit, you'll probably realize why this won't
+work: there's no ~/usr/bin~ directory on NixOS. Also, if you look at
+the ~shell.nix~ file from before, there's no ~clang~ /or/ ~lld~ included.
+
+We'll fix this by changing the linker to just ~clang~ and by adding
+~clang~ and ~lld~ to the ~shell.nix~ build inputs. That means the
+~.cargo/config.toml~ file should look like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC toml
+  [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
+  linker = "clang"
+  rustflags = ["-Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=lld", "-Zshare-generics=y"]
+#+END_SRC
+
+* Problem 2: Apps
+
+The next issue I ran into was in [[https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/getting-started/apps/][the next section, /Apps/.]] The basic
+"Hello World" program you get when starting a new project via Cargo
+built and ran just fine. However, it suddenly stopped working when I
+tried to import and use Bevy.
+
+The error I got was:
+
+#+begin_example
+  target/debug/<project>: error while loading shared libraries:
+  libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
+  directory
+#+end_example
+
+The solution was to modify the environment's ~LD_LIBRARY_PATH~ by
+adding ~udev~. This took some searching to find out, but thanks to
+[[https://github.com/MaikKlein/ash/issues/312#issuecomment-814491730][this GitHub comment]] and @LegendOfMiracles [[https://discordapp.com/channels/691052431525675048/742884593551802431/843481717318484018][post in the Bevy Discord's
+#help channel]], I got there in the end.
+
+In addition to ~udev~ we also need to add ~alsaLib~ to the
+~LD_LIBRARY_PATH~. To achieve this, add this to your ~shell.nix~:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC nix
+  shellHook = ''export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [
+    pkgs.alsaLib
+    pkgs.udev
+  ]}"'';
+#+END_SRC
+
+* Problem 3: Plugins
+
+The third and final problem I ran into was with [[https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/getting-started/plugins/][the section on
+/Plugins/]]. When I added ~DefaultPlugins~, the program immediately
+panicked with this message:
+
+#+begin_example
+      Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.08s
+       Running `target/debug/bevy-tutorial`
+  thread 'main' panicked at 'Unable to find a GPU! Make sure you have installed required drivers!', /home/thomas/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/bevy_wgpu-0.5.0/src/wgpu_renderer.rs:47:14
+  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
+#+end_example
+
+Turns out the solution to this was to modify the ~LD_LIBRARY_PATH~
+further and add ~vulkan-loader~ too. When I added the ~vulkan-loader~
+everything ran and worked as expected.
+
+* Summary and full files
+
+It took some extra work, but I got there in the end. Below are the
+files that I ended up with. In addition to these, remember to also add
+the ~build.rs~ file as specified above.
+
+** ~shell.nix~
+
+Here's what I use for the dev environment. I use [[https://github.com/nix-community/fenix][fenix]] for managing
+the Rust toolchain. I've also added ~cargo-edit~ and ~cargo-watch~
+because they're handy tools to have. Everything else is Bevy-related.
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC nix
+    { pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
+
+    let
+
+      fenix = import "${
+      fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/fenix/archive/main.tar.gz"
+      }/packages.nix";
+
+    in
+
+    pkgs.mkShell {
+      shellHook = ''export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [
+        pkgs.alsaLib
+        pkgs.udev
+        pkgs.vulkan-loader
+      ]}"'';
+
+      buildInputs = with pkgs; [
+        (
+          with fenix;
+          combine (
+            with default; [
+              cargo
+              clippy-preview
+              latest.rust-src
+              rust-analyzer
+              rust-std
+              rustc
+              rustfmt-preview
+            ]
+          )
+        )
+        cargo-edit
+        cargo-watch
+
+        lld
+        clang
+
+        # # bevy-specific deps (from https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/docs/linux_dependencies.md)
+        pkgconfig
+        udev
+        alsaLib
+        lutris
+        x11
+        xorg.libXcursor
+        xorg.libXrandr
+        xorg.libXi
+        vulkan-tools
+        vulkan-headers
+        vulkan-loader
+        vulkan-validation-layers
+      ];
+
+    }
+  #+END_SRC
+
+** ~.cargo/config.toml~
+
+This is what the full ~config.toml~ file looks like after adjusting
+the Linux config for NixOS.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC toml
+  # Add the contents of this file to `config.toml` to enable "fast build" configuration. Please read the notes below.
+
+  # NOTE: For maximum performance, build using a nightly compiler
+  # If you are using rust stable, remove the "-Zshare-generics=y" below.
+
+  [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
+  linker = "clang"
+  rustflags = ["-Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=lld", "-Zshare-generics=y"]
+
+  # NOTE: you must manually install https://github.com/michaeleisel/zld on mac. you can easily do this with the "brew" package manager:
+  # `brew install michaeleisel/zld/zld`
+  [target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
+  rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=-fuse-ld=/usr/local/bin/zld", "-Zshare-generics=y"]
+
+  [target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
+  linker = "rust-lld.exe"
+  rustflags = ["-Zshare-generics=y"]
+
+  # Optional: Uncommenting the following improves compile times, but reduces the amount of debug info to 'line number tables only'
+  # In most cases the gains are negligible, but if you are on macos and have slow compile times you should see significant gains.
+  #[profile.dev]
+  #debug = 1
+#+END_SRC
+
+
+
+-----
+That's it for now. I hope this is useful to someone.
+
+Until next time! 👋
