Example of how to build ICED using nix

This repository provides example for building counter example for ICED GUI framework.

Code is taken from the repo, with minor modifications.

In order to build those steps were needed:

1. Generate lock file. Result already in repo, so it is needed only then you will be recreating it in your project.

cargo check

2. Generate Cargo.nix. Again result already in repo, so it is needed only then you will be recreating it in your project.

nix run github:cargo2nix/cargo2nix

3. nix build

nix build

resulting executable will apprear as ./result-bin/bin/counter

Caveats

flake.nix provided by this repo will only build for wayland systems. Building for x11 will require extra effort.

Counter

The classic counter example explained in the README.

The main file contains all the code of the example.

You can run it with cargo run:

cargo run --package counter

The web version can be run with trunk:

cd examples/counter
trunk serve
