Nix flake support

[hrenard]

Hi, great project !

I wanted to try it on nix, so I got the bare minimum working.

Are you interested to support nix ? If so I will polish this pull request, or make one on nixpkgs if you think it's ready.

Trying to bump this up in the hope it can be notoced and moved forward 🩷

I came here looking for a way to build reflection my machine (nixos), I tried the flake and I end up getting this error

bwrap: Can't bind mount /oldroot/home/<home-dir>/.cache/font-dirs.xml on /newroot/run/host/font-dirs.xml: Unable to mount source on destination: No such file or directory

I might be using it wrong tho ('m a nixos newbie), I just pulled this branch and did the following:

• nix develop
• flatpak run org.gnome.Builder
• install sdks and build

Nope, it needs to be merged or rebased locally. Then you can do nix run .# inside the repo.

Thank you for your contributions! 😺

I'm happy to merge this PR if somebody can confirm it's working!

Nobody of the current maintainers uses Nix so we rely on a bit of help here & can't make guarantees about maintenance in the future unless we find someone who takes care of Nix support.
