These break build from source on Linux for two reasons:
1.) The systemd user service needs to be installed in the `share`
prefix, not the `lib` prefix. This lets it get picked up in `~/.local`
but is also correct for just standard FHS paths.
2.) The `ghostty` path in the systemd user service needs to be absolute.
We should interpolate in the build install prefix to form an absolute
path.
1. Refactored Nix devshell/package to make it easier to keep
LD_LIBRARY_PATH & buildInputs in sync (plus make it easier to re-use
in other Nix environment).
2. Added a CI job to ensure that Blueprints are formatted correctly and
that they will compile using `blueprint-compiler` 0.16.0.
3. Reformatted all Blueprints with `blueprint-compiler format`.
This is my third (!) attempt at implementing localization support. By
leveraging GTK builder to do most of the `gettext` calls, I can avoid
the whole mess about missing symbols on non-glibc platforms.
Added some documentation too for contributors and translators, just for
good measure.
Supersedes #5214, resolves the GTK half of #2357

Using `gtk4-layer-shell` still seems like the path of least resistance,
and to my delight it pretty much Just Works. Hurrah!
This implementation could do with some further polish (e.g. animations,
which can be implemented via libadwaita's animations API, and global
shortcuts), but as a MVP it works well enough.
It even supports tabs!
Fixes#4624.
Adds buildtime and comptime checks to make sure that Blueprints/UI files
are availble and correctly formed. Will also compile Blueprints to UI
files so that they are available to GTK code.
This brings the internal package more in line with how the nixpkgs
package is built. It also handles recursive dependencies better than the
current system.
`zig-gobject` is a set of GObject bindings that allow us to write
GTK-facing code in Zig instead of getting hands dirty with C.
It's been tested and refined in real-life applications and several
GTK contributors agree that it is a marked improvement over using
the C API directly, such as allowing method call syntax and avoiding
many manual `@ptrCast`s.
This commit doesn't actually contain any changes to our preexisting
GTK code — the migration process is intended to begin in chunks,
firstly in self-contained components (e.g. the header bar, overlays,
etc.), and then full-scale migration can begin when we remove non-Adwaita
GTK builds for 1.2. (After all, why port code that you'll remove later
either way?)
The major idea behind the refactor is to split the `build.zig` file up into
distinct `src/build/*.zig` files. By doing so, we can improve readability of
the primary `build.zig` while also enabling better reuse of steps. Our
`build.zig` is now less than 150 lines of code (of course, it calls into a lot
more lines but they're neatly organized now).
Improvements:
* `build.zig` is less than 150 lines of readable code.
* Help strings and unicode table generators are only run once when multiple
artifacts are built since the results are the same regardless of target.
* Metal lib is only built once per architecture (rather than once per artifact)
* Resources (shell integration, terminfo, etc.) and docs are only
built/installed for artifacts that need them
Breaking changes:
* Removed broken wasm build (@gabydd will re-add)
* Removed conformance files, shell scripts are better and we don't run
these anymore
* Removed macOS app bundle creation, we don't use this anymore since we
use Xcode
## Some History
Our `build.zig` hasn't been significantly refactored since the project started,
when Zig was _version 0.10_. Since then, the build system has changed
significantly. We've only ever duct taped the `build.zig` as we needed to
support new Zig versions, new features, etc. It was a mess.
The major improvement is adapting the entire Ghostty `build.zig` to the Step
and LazyPath changes introduced way back in Zig 0.12. This lets us better take
advantage of parallelism and the dependency graph so that steps are only
executed as they're needed.
As such, you can see in the build.zig that we initialize a lot of things, but
unless a final target (i.e. install, run) references those steps, _they'll
never be executed_. This lets us clean up a lot.
nix vim module expects vim plugins to have their code organized as top level
directories. eg: /ftdetect rather than /share/vim/vimfiles/ftdetect. Adding
a separate output seems like a convenient way to reference the plugin
files in `programs.vim.plugins ...`. Interestingly nvim will find the
plugin via nested directories making ghostty.vim and ghostty the same
for `programs.neovim.plugins`
More complete coverage of the Symbols For Legacy Computing block,
including characters from Unicode 16.0.
Pixman and the web canvas impl for Canvas have been removed in favor of
z2d for drawing, since it has a nicer API with more powerful methods,
and is in Zig with no specific platform optimizations so should compile
to wasm no problem.
Because Zig does not fetch recursive dependencies when you run `zig build
--fetch` (see https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/20976) we need to do some
extra work to fetch everything that we actually need to build without Internet
access (such as when building a Nix package).
An example of this happening:
```

To update this script, add any failing URLs with a line like this:
```
zig fetch <url>
```
Periodically old URLs may need to be cleaned out.
Hopefully when the Zig issue is fixed this script can be eliminated in favor
of a plain `zig build --fetch`.
this should reduce the amount of rebuilds that need to occur that due to
the souce changing invalidating the cache
also note that a update to nixpkgs-stable had to occur such that the new
lib functions existed
