Maybe $PKG_CONFIG would be better here

I don't think specifying the .dev output is necessary here.

I tried this but got stuck at sudo waydroid init, because I'm missing a kernel module.

Do you have a config to enable that module by chance @CajuM?

[CajuM]

try:

{ boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_xanmod; }

you'll also have to copy/symlink share/waydroid/gbinder.d into /etc

This packaging should probably have included a NixOS module to setup things as needed.

For those of us luddites stuck on i3, anyone got quick steps to run this? (Is there a wayland compositor as an x11-app out there?)

Module (also by the genius OP): #141076

[CajuM]

I think Weston should work
