I use guix home to configure my home environment on Guix system and I am using home-zsh-service-type to configure my shell of choice.
Here is my home-zsh-service-type configuration,
(service home-zsh-service-type
(home-zsh-configuration
(xdg-flavor? #t)
(environment-variables
`(("HISTFILE" . "$XDG_STATE_HOME/zsh/history")
("HISTSIZE" . "10000")
("SAVEHIST" . "10000")))
(zshenv
(list
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/zshenv")))
(zprofile
(list
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/zprofile")))
(zshrc
(list
;; (local-file "files/shell/zsh/config")
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/completions")
(mixed-text-file "zshrc"
#~(string-append
"# direnv hook zsh\n"
"_direnv_hook() {\n"
" trap -- '' SIGINT;\n"
" eval \"$(\"" #$(file-append (specification->package "direnv")
"/bin/direnv")"\" export zsh)\";\n"
" trap - SIGINT;\n"
"}\n"))
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/direnv")
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/fzf")
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/keybinds")
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/prompt")

Here I use a local-file for zshenv and zprofile,
(zshenv
(list
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/zshenv")))
(zprofile
(list
(local-file "files/shell/zsh/zprofile")))
Here are the contents of zshenv file,
# Guix
# GUIX_PROFILE="/home/apoorv/.config/guix/current" . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
# Load the nix profile
if [ -f "/run/current-system/profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh" ]; then
source /run/current-system/profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
fi
if [ -f "$HOME/.profile" ]; then
source "$HOME"/.profile
fi
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
As you can see I am sourcing the nix.sh script to load the nix profile but dmenu doesn’t show the programs installed via nix for some reason, though I can launch them from terminal just fine.
It was all fine when I was not managing my home environment with guix BTW, this only started happening after I started using guix home to manage my home environment.
Also in another thread I mentioned this, Guix shell not showing mentioned program inside the shell environment - #11 by apoorv569
Guix auto-generates .zprofile file with these contents,
as@guix-virt ~$ cat .zprofile
# Honor system-wide environment variables
source /etc/profile
# Merge search-paths from multiple profiles, the order matters.
eval "$(guix package --search-paths \
-p $HOME/.config/guix/current \
-p $HOME/.guix-profile \
-p /run/current-system/profile)"
# Prepend setuid programs.
export PATH=/run/setuid-programs:$PATH
it worked fine as well when I was not using guix home to manage my home environment, but if I put the eval part in zprofile file that I am using right now, none of the programs installed via guix home also don’t show up in dmenu either.
Here is my current zprofile file,
# Merge search-paths from multiple profiles, the order matters.
# eval "$(guix package --search-paths \
# -p $HOME/.config/guix/current \
# -p $HOME/.guix-profile \
# -p /run/current-system/profile)"
# Prepend setuid programs.
export PATH=/run/setuid-programs:$PATH
As you can see I have commented it out for now.
I am using my custom build of dmenu BTW, ~apoorv569/nebula (master): nebula/packages/suckless.scm - sourcehut git
